Lyrics

[Intro]
Yo, if you ever been in a relationship
And got hurt really, really bad
This song's for you
I mean, you know what it feel like
(Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
To not ever wanna do it again
Then you meet somebody
Without a doubt you know they the one
Huh, yeah, but you be so scared and nervous
That you don't wanna get hurt again
(Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
[Verse 1]
See, I'm going through a situation that I can't help (Uh-huh)
Wanna get a little closer, but I promised myself
That I would never give my heart away again, ooh, babe
I know it's hard, but ya gotta understand it
The truth is all the hurt and the pain
And the ish that you get when you have it ain't worth it
I've been there so many times
I should know better, but I
Can't stop what I feel when you're next to me
I really think I
[Chorus]
Finally found somebody that could be the one
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared and I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
Finally found somebody that could be the one (Could be)
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared and I'm nervous (Boy, I'm nervous)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
[Verse 2]
See, the problem with relationships in general is that it's always a game
In the beginning, they'll do anything to have you
And once they do, it's never the same (Yeah)
And I know everyone out there can relate (Yeah, you know they can)
So the question is
(One) Do I really wanna trust this feeling?
(Two) Do I wanna let it pass me by?
(Three) Do you think it's only superficial?
(Four) Could it actually be different this time?
Someone to love me, someone to be my everything
Maybe I've stumbled upon
[Chorus]
Finally found somebody that could be the one (The only one)
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love (No, no)
And I'm scared and I'm nervous (I just don't)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
Finally found somebody that could be the one (Maybe I found)
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love (Yeah, yeah)
And I'm scared and I'm nervous (Boy, I'm so scared)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
[Bridge]
Oh, baby
Sweet darling
I, I think I finally found (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
[Chorus]
Finally found somebody that could be the one (The only one)
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love (Baby, no)
And I'm scared and I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad (I don't wanna be hurt)
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
Finally found somebody that could be the one (Finally found)
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love (I promised myself)
And I'm scared and I'm nervous (Boy, I'm nervous)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad (This is bad)
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
Finally found somebody that could be the one
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared and I'm nervous (I'm scared and I'm nervous)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad (Yeah, baby, baby)
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
Finally found somebody that could be the one
But I promised myself that I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared and I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore, this is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one (Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talkin' about)
Finally found somebody that could be the one
