Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cut the music up
A little louder, yeah
[Verse 2]
You had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
Mm, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in a corner trying to put it together
How to love
How to love
Mm, for a second you were here, now you're over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you're movin' your body
Like you never had a love (Ay)
Never had a love (Ay)
[Verse 3]
When you was just a youngin', your looks were so precious
But now you're grown up, so fly it's like a blessing
But you can't have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself, so when you got older
It seems like you came back ten times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Lookin' through all your thoughts and lookin' over your shoulder
[Verse 4]
See, you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
Mm, see, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner trying to put it together
How to love
How to love
Mm, for a second you were here, now you're over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you're movin' your body
Like you never had a love (Ay)
Had a love (Ay), oh
[Verse 5]
When you had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault, wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talkin' to me, be the one listening
But, but I admire your poppin' bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and strippin'
Baby, so don't be mad, nobody else trippin'
You see a lot of crooks and crooks still crooks
[Verse 6]
You say you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
Mm, see, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner trying to put it together
How to love
How to love, oh
[Verse 7]
See, I just want you to know
That you deserve the best, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, yeah
And I want you to know
You're far from the usual
Far from the usual
[Verse 8]
You see, you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
Mm, see, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner trying to put it together
How to love
How to love
[Verse 9]
Mm, see, you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
Yeah, see, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner trying to put it together
How to love
How to love, mmm
