Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nowadays, I don't understand why
My love doesn't love me like she used to before
Now lately, the sun just doesn't shine
And my paradise is gone
[Verse 2]
'Cause most of the time (Most of the time)
We argue and fight (Yeah, over things that doesn't really matter)
Lord knows that I tried (Lord knows I've tried)
To give all my love (Yes, so what should I do?)
[Verse 3]
You've got to understand (Yeah)
It's all about give and take (I know)
You can't be so demanding (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Things won't always go your way (Oh, oh)
If you just give it time (Yeah)
And think about her feelings (Yeah)
Then things will work out fine (Yeah, yeah)
Learn to make her your bestfriend (Oh)
[Verse 4]
I hear what you're sayin'
But my girl, she's always complainin'
And blaming me for things I'll never do, uh
And I don't know what
What it is that I did that was so wrong
To make her feel I'll ever be untrue to her
[Verse 5]
'Cause most of the time (Yeah, most of the time, yeah)
We argue and fight (Over things that doesn't really matter, oh, oh)
Lord knows that I've tried (Lord knows, Lord knows I've tried)
To give all my love to her (What should I do?)
[Verse 6]
You've got to understand (What?)
It's all about give and take (Give and take)
You can't be so demanding (I know, I know)
Things won't always go your way (I know)
If you just give it time (Give it time)
And think about her feelings (Her feelings)
Then things will work out fine (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Learn to make her your bestfriend (Oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 7]
See, what you need to do is
Stop catchin' attitudes, and just
Try to take the time
To hear her out
Stop being so defensive, and
Try to be more attentive to
Show her you respect
What she's talkin' 'bout
[Verse 8]
'Cause you know how us women can be, yes (Women can be)
And when we feel threatened, we react instinctively, yeah
(When we, yeah, instinctively)
When our emotions have grown to its high (Emotions, high)
We can tend to just let it control our lives (Ooh, control)
[Verse 9]
Well, alright, I'll try, next time, I'll try a little tenderness (Oh, yeah)
And even make sure that I give her more compliments (Alright)
Maybe I could practice on bein' more patient (Being patient)
And compromise for my baby, yeah, yeah (Babe, babe, baby)
[Verse 10]
If you want her in your life (Oh, in my life)
Then you've got be willing to try (Yeah, yeah, I will, yeah, yeah, oh)
See, it's worth the struggle, 'cause in the end
(In the end, yes, what?)
She will always be your bestfriend, yeah
(Alright, alright, alright)
[Verse 11]
If you want her in your life (My life, life, yeah)
Then you got be willing to try (Got to be, uh, willing, oh, ooh)
See it's worth the struggle, 'cause in the end (Yes, love, huh)
(Yeah, in the end, yeah, yeah, yeah)
She will always be your bestfriend (Ooh, ooh, bestfriend)
