Lyrics

Uh, you know what?
On the real, mm, uh
Me and you, we've been through
So much that we need to start off new
You need to choose, don't be confused
I think it's time, time that you
Tell me where you wanna
Be with me or be with her
This whole ordeal is such a blur
See I was prepared to take the loss
But my heart won't pay the cost
You don't know where you wanna be
You don't have to take my advice
You don't have to compromise
'Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see where you need to be
Be with them, all your friends
You claim the Clippers is playin' Boston
I won't be sloppy seconds again
Do you wanna play with me or play with them?
Tell me where you wanna
Be in love, is that enough?
When all the problems start addin' up
Ladies raise your hands if you've had it enough
Scream as loud as you can if you're mad enough
'Cause he don't know
Why don't you know it honey?
Where he wants to be, ooh
You don't have to take my advice
Don't you listen, baby
You don't have to compromise
There's no need, oh-wo
'Cause I know that you don't realize
Why you say that, baby?
You don't even see where you need to be
This whole show, you for real? Come on now, don't talk like that
Aye, aye, I promise in all honesty
I honor you, you honor me
For better worse, for rich or poor
Whatever it's gonna be
I'm talkin' 'bout forever more
The rest of eternity
No need in bein' insecure
I know where I wanna be
I know I made a lotta mistakes
But I can make 'em up, make 'em up
Unless you got your heart set on breakin' up
If I can't see your face
Then my day ain't even worth waking up
Especially with these haters
And open cases that's comin' up
Maybe showin' you attention
Is somethin' that I ain't done enough
But you got all my love, on all I love, girl
I need you to believe in me
You need to know that I know where I need to be, aye
You don't have to take my advice
You don't have to take it
You don't have to compromise
'Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see where you need to be
Even though I love you
I'm willing to let it go, oh-ho-oh
You don't have to take my advice
You don't have to compromise
'Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see where you need to be
