Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here you go, jacket down, Timbs off
Remote control, and there you go
Off into outer space, distant from me
Where do you go? Your eyes are closed
I'd like to know
[PreChorus]
I stop, sit next to you because you seem so blue
And pray nothing's broke
Baby, I don't want to see us burn down and go up in smoke
No, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me
[Verse 2]
But when I push begins the riff
You take off and there I sit alone, feeling cold
I become antagonist, loud and wrong
Words are thrown, I bitch, you moan
So I try another tactic, oh
[Verse 3]
Close your eyes, relax your mind
Cool down, just recline, we've got the time
To let it go, just unwind
I'll be cool, baby, I'll be quiet, if you'd like
I'll put on your favorite song
Sounds nice
Thug passion on ice? Or a glass of Merlot?
I'll roll it up if you want, I won't front
I just need to know what you know
[Chorus]
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me, baby
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me
[Outro]
Oh, baby, I'm getting so frustrated
Aggravated, and so it seems
That you're hiding something from me, and that ain't the way, my sweet
I'm loving you, but I get confused
And what makes me fear when your personality is unclear
I make things up in my mind, you're right next to me
But sometimes I feel like you're off away, and you just don't have a thing to say
But I'm here for you, so tell me what you, tell me what you're going through
Ah
