Lyrics

[Intro]

Konvict, Konvict

[Refrain]

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

'Cause we gon' fight

Oh yes, we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Believe we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Fight for our right to love, yeah

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you)

[Verse 2]

Nobody wanna see us together

Nobody thought we'd last forever

I feel them hoping and praying

Things between us don't get better

[Verse 3]

Men steady coming after you

Women steady coming after me

Seems like er'body wanna go for self and

Don't wanna respect boundary

Telling you all those lies

Just to get on your side (Side)

But I must admit there was a couple secrets I held inside

But just know that I try to always apologize (Try)

But I'ma have you first

Always in my heart to keep you satisfied, oh

[Chorus]

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

'Cause we gon' fight

Oh yes, we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Believe we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Fight for our right to love, yeah

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you)

[Verse 4]

You got every right to wanna leave (Wanna leave)

You got every right to wanna go (Wanna go)

You got every right to hit the road (Hit the road)

And never talk to me no more (Me no more)

You don't even have to call (Have to call)

Even check for me at all (Me at all)

Because the way I've been acting lately (I've been acting)

Has been off the wall (Off the wall)

[Verse 5]

Especially towards you (Towards you)

Putting girls before you (Before you)

And they watchin' everything I've been doing

Just to hurt you

Most of it just ain't true (Ain't true)

And they won't show you (Show you)

How much of a queen you are to me

And why I love you, baby

[Chorus]

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

'Cause we gon' fight

Oh yes, we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Believe we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Fight for our right to love, yeah

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

[Bridge]

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

'Cause I got you, babe

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

'Cause I got you, babe

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ('Cause I got you, babe)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ('Cause I got you, babe)

[Chorus]

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

'Cause we gon' fight

Oh yes, we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Believe we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Fight for our right to love, yeah

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no

'Cause I got you, babe

[Chorus]

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no ('Cause I got you, babe)

'Cause we gon' fight

Oh yes, we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Believe we gon' fight (We gon' fight)

Fight for our right to love, yeah

Nobody wanna see us together

But it don't matter, no

'Cause I got you, babe

[Outro]

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

'Cause I got you, babe

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
