Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Because I'm trying to do the best I can)
(And they can't find something to satisfy me)
[Verse 2]
Even though you're bad for me, I know
You're the one that I'm thinkin'
Got me feelin' so incredible
Would you mind maybe linkin'?
[Verse 3]
Love me, love me, baby are you down?
Can you let me know?
Love me, thank you, leave me
Put it down, then it's time to go
Get it like you love me, but you don't
Boy, it's just for show
Take it or leave it
You gotta take it or leave it like, uh-uh
[Verse 4]
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah
Just wanna have a good time, yeah
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go
[Verse 5]
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah
Not tryin' to make you all mine, yeah
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go, yeah
[Verse 6]
No, we won't be talkin' the next day
I ain't got nothin' to say
I ain't lookin' for my one true love
Yeah, that shipped sailed away
[Verse 7]
Love me, love me, baby are you down?
Can you let me know?
Love me, thank you, leave me
Put it down, then it's time to go
Get it like you love me, but you don't
Boy, it's just for show
Take it or leave it
You gotta take it or leave it like, uh-uh
[Verse 8]
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah
Just wanna have a good time, yeah
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go
[Verse 9]
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah (Don't want you in my)
Not tryin' to make you all mine, yeah (Not tryin' to make you)
And no need to apologize, no (And no need to a–)
But you gon' have to let this shit go, yeah
[Verse 10]
Say I know what you want, what you want from me
I know what you think, what you think you see
I know what you lookin' for, but I'm complete
I know what you need, but it won't be me
[Verse 11]
I know what you want, what you want from me
I know what you think, what you think you see
I know what you lookin' for, but I'm complete
I know what you need, but it won't be me (But it won't be me)
[Verse 12]
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah (Don't want you in my bloodline)
Just wanna have a good time, yeah (Just tryna have a good time)
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go (Oh yeah)
[Verse 13]
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah
Not tryin' to make you all mine, yeah
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go, yeah
