Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How long can you stay uncomfortable (Ooh, yeah)
And how long can you stand out in the cold (Ooh)
And, baby, when you decide that he just ain't right
I need to know, I need to know
[Verse 2]
Baby, your skin like porcelain
Like ocean waves
Your mind's amazing, how can I be your everything?
When we still cloudy, up your patience
You can't keep wasting all your days
On wondering why he just don't get it
[Verse 3]
I just came to calm your troubled waters
Down (Down) to be (To be) aligned (Aligned)
I swear I got you
You can't keep wasting all your days
On wondering why he just don't get it
[Verse 4]
You're there but you don't wanna be (Uh-uh)
You stay till it's too hard to breathe
And I don't think it's worth your time
So why you not mine?
I need to know, I need to know
[Verse 5]
Baby, your skin like porcelain
Like ocean waves
Your mind's amazing, how can I be your everything?
When we still cloudy, up your patience
You can't keep wasting all your days
On wondering why he just don't get it
[Verse 6]
I just came to calm your troubled waters (Oh)
Down (Down) to be (To be) aligned (Aligned)
I swear I got you
You can't keep wasting all your days
On wondering why he just don't get it
[Verse 7]
Baby, I'll be your lifeguard
Through everything (Everything)
If you stay with me (Ha)
Oh, oh
[Verse 8]
I'll be your lifeguard
Through everything (Everything)
Will you stay with me?
Oh, whoa
[Verse 9]
I just came (Came) to calm (Calm) your troubled waters
Down (Down) to be (To be) aligned (Yeah)
I swear I got you
'Cause you can't keep wasting on all your days
On wondering why he just don't get it
