Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've had such a great time in these past two months
I never laughed so much in my life
It's been all about us since that time we had that intimate talk
Suddenly you're acting strange
Plus your conversation just snapped and changed
Is it because you're afraid that what you're feeling for me
Is the beginning of a new heartbreak?
Hear me when I say
[Verse 2]
You ain't gotta give me your love, oh no
You ain't gotta say I'm your one
You ain't gotta tell me where you be
'Cause you ain't obligated to me
[Verse 3]
I'm not saying that you should just rush and give me your heart
I'm just asking that you like me real hard
Just like me real hard
[Verse 4]
You know just like God know we've been broken by love
And we both need time to heal
That's why in this short amount of time
We've grown so close 'cause you relate to everything I feel
So let's not complicate things by placing titles on you and I
But what we can do before we make the next move
We gotta find a perfect reason why
So believe me when I say
[Verse 5]
You ain't gotta give me your love, oh no, no, no
You ain't gotta say I'm your one
You ain't gotta tell me where you be
'Cause you ain't obligated to me
[Verse 6]
I'm not saying that you should just rush and give me your heart
I'm just asking that you like me real hard, my baby
Just like me real hard
[Verse 7]
You ain't ready to fall in love
And I ain't ready to care so much
We ain't ready for commitment right now
But together we can work something out
When the time is right 'cause we'll feel it in our hearts
It will be written in the stars
But for now, just like me real hard
[Verse 8]
You ain't gotta give me your love
You ain't gotta say I'm your one
You ain't gotta tell me where you be
'Cause you ain't obligated to me
[Verse 9]
I'm not saying that you should just rush and give me your heart
I'm just asking that you like me real hard
Just like me real hard
[Verse 10]
You ain't gotta give me your love, no
You ain't gotta say I'm your one
You ain't gotta tell me where you be
'Cause you ain't obligated to me
[Verse 11]
I'm not saying that you should just rush and give me your heart
I'm just asking that you like me real hard
Just like me real hard
[Verse 12]
Whoo, I just want you, baby
Just want you to be my friend, girl
Oh yeah, yeah
I'm not saying, saying, no
I'm just asking you that you like me real hard
