Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who, tell me who knows you better, baby, than I do? (Who, better than I do?)
Said it out your own mouth, I ain't even gotta say it, ooh (Yeah)
You ain't gotta make an issue, ooh, I ain't trying to play the victim, ooh
I'm just trying to make this thing right, yeah (This thing right)
[Verse 2]
How could you think that I could ever be better without you?
I mean, I can go a few months, but every day, girl, I be missing you
Me losing you to another dude
The thought of it is so depressing, ooh
You and I both know that we need this, that's why
[Verse 3]
I'm explaining what I'm fighting for
Girl, there's no one who deserves you more
So stop subscribing to those crazy thoughts
'Cause there's no one who deserves you more
[Verse 4]
Who gave you love? Don't change on me (Who gave you love? Don't change, baby)
I'll go half-crazy if you choose to leave (If you choose to leave)
That's why I'm explaining what I'm fighting for
Girl, there's no one who deserves you more (Deserves you more)
[Verse 5]
We don't often talk about it baby, but we know it's true (It's true)
That you were insecure once, 'cause someone really did you dirty, ooh
But I encouraged you to make it through
Showed you special was a part of you
You did the same for me, too
[Verse 6]
So, girl, I thank you, now, I'm so thankful (Thank you, I'm so thankful)
For all the times when we rise and we fall
Nights when we laughed and we talked
Let's not break up, let's be grateful
That the strain of our arguments only brought us closer, in spite of it all
[Verse 7]
I'm explaining what I'm fighting for
Girl, there's no one who deserves you more
So stop subscribing to those crazy thoughts
'Cause there's no one who deserves you more
[Verse 8]
Tell me, who gave you love? Don't change on me (Who gave you love? Don't change, baby)
I'll go half-crazy if you choose to leave (If you choose to leave)
That's why I'm explaining what I'm fighting for
Girl, there's no one who deserves you more (Deserves you more)
[Verse 9]
We spend more time on our problems instead of
Tryna work them out to get better, however
Let's turn this negative into a positive (This negative, into a positive, baby)
Oh, you believe in you and I, I feel there's a need to try
If I don't fight, I'll regret it for the rest of my life
[Verse 10]
I'm explaining what I'm fighting for
Girl, there's no one who deserves you more
So stop subscribing to those crazy thoughts
'Cause there's no one who deserves you more
[Verse 11]
Tell me who gave you love? Don't change, baby (Who gave you love? Don't change, baby)
I'll go half-crazy if you choose to leave (If you choose to leave)
So, I'm explaining what I'm fighting for
Girl, there's no one who deserves you, deserves you more (No)
