Lyrics
I don’t know why
The way you had me feelin alright
The way you had me chillin inside
It’s about go by
And I don’t wanna be your old type
I don’t wanna have long night
And I know you don’t like
What’s wrong cuz I really won’t fight
If you give a dog a bone it might bite
You never knew I can’t stand being alone
Well that’s a lie cuz I been my whole life
But you were something special maybe not to you but you for me
It really hurt my mental when I had to stay and watch you leave
I’m having a hard time
Cuz I was never supposed to catch feelings
It was going well
It was going well
It was going well
But I got jealous
Why you playin’ hard to get with me
Now I’m helpless
Trynna turn you back around
So can you help this
I caught feelings once again and now I fear this is the end of what I thought was the beginning
I won’t go
If it really gone let her
Let her know
I won’t be here forever
Now I’m low
Down bad go get her
I’m on my own
I been battling the devil
But your so selfless
And oh I’ll miss the way you walkin’
I got dreams for you to pop in
But if you’re not mine I can’t help being jealous
I remember the first time I saw you
You was a cute thang I knew that I’d call u
I got nervous
It really ain’t like me
Did you do it on purpose
I think that it might be
Ooh I knew this would never work out
But I hear voices in my head
They said don’t let your heart rest
She’s the one oh she’s the next
And who would’a thought I’d learn how
To hold it down beneath my chest
It felt right but I went left
It was going well
It was going well
But I got jealous
Why you playin’ hard to get with me
Now I’m helpless
Trynna turn you back around
So can you help this
I caught feelings once again and now I fear this is the end of what I thought was the beginning
I won’t go
If it really gone let her
Let her know
I won’t be here forever
Now I’m low
Down bad go get her
I’m on my own
I been battling the devil
But your so selfless
And oh I’ll miss the way you walkin’
I got dreams for you to pop in
But if you’re not mine I can’t help being jealous
