Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's always there, he always answers when I call
He's always there to pick me up right when I fall
But you nowhere to be found
You don't even make a sound
[PreChorus]
He tell me I'm beautiful, he sending me flowers
He never leave me alone, we talking for hours
But you disappear for three days at a time and just leave me on read
[Chorus]
Why is it the ones we don't want that want us?
Why is it the ones we don't want that want us?
Why is it the ones we love and we trust, they just get up and leave?
Why is it the ones we don't want that want us?
[Chorus]
The harder I want you, the less you don't want me
I got one question, boy, why don't you want me?
If he really want me, then why don't you want me, want this?
Hard to swallow, but I guess it's not meant to be, oh no
[Verse 2]
When he get close with his feelings, it turn me off
If you did that type of thing, then it turn me on
Some type of karma? Maybe I'm the one to blame
If I say jump, then that **** gon' levitate
He gon' drop everything for me like yesterday
But when it comes to you, no, it is never the same
[PreChorus]
He tells me I'm beautiful, he sending me flowers
He never leave me alone, we talking for hours
But you disappear for three days at a time and just leave me on read
[Chorus]
Why is it the ones we don't want that want us?
Why is it the ones we don't want that want us?
Why is it the ones we love and we trust, they just get up and leave?
Why is it the ones we don't want that want us?
[Chorus]
The harder I want you, the less you don't want me
I got one question, boy, why don't you want me?
If he really want me, then why don't you want me, want this?
Hard to swallow, but I guess it's not meant to be
[Bridge]
Remember, you were crazy for me, boy, when I had my guard up
Remember, was protecting my heart, didn't want to get caught up
I remember when I would not give you the time of the day
Finally gave in, now you not the same
Why everything changed? Yeah
[Outro]
You would tell me I'm beautiful, you were sending me flowers
Our loving was so wonderful, we'd be going for hours
But now you disappear for three days at a time, so I'm with him instead
[Outro]
He told me he love me, it don't mean a damn thing
But if I heard it from you, babe, it would mean everything, oh
Everything, everything, everything, everything, ooh
Tell me what I gotta do
