Lyrics

[Intro]
Don't need you in my life
It’s not that I don't love you, baby, huh
(It's not that I don’t love you, baby)
Can't think of what you want
I wish that I could show you, baby

[Verse 1]
Hey, easy come and easy go and talk too much
Making me really wanna come through, huh (Yeah, baby)

[Refrain]
I don't want to check, yeah
I just do my best, woo
Baddies to my left, huh
Goofy call the ref because I'm cooler than you

[Pre-Chorus]
Are, are you ashamed?
What are we supposed to do with our hearts?
Love is not a game
I'm just here protecting all that I are

[Chorus]
Don't need you in my life
It's not that I don't love you, baby, huh (Ow)
Can’t think of what you want
I wish that I could show you, baby (Ow)
[Verse 2]
Ah, Motorola, can’t control ya
Callin' home just to see if it’s gonna go through, huh (Yeah, babe)

[Refrain]
I don't want to check, yeah
I just do my best, woo
Baddies to my left, huh
Goofy call the ref because I'm cooler than you

[Pre-Chorus]
Are, are you ashamed?
What are we supposed to do with our hearts?
Love is not a game
I'm just here protecting all that I are

[Outro]
I will give you want you want, let’s finish what we started
Got me dancing in the dark, let's finish what we started
I can't get you off my mind (Mind)
And I will keep you satisfied (Satisfied)
Just look real deep into my eyes
Can't live without you by my side (Side)
I can't get you off my mind (Mind)
I will keep you satisfied (Satisfied)
Just look real deep into my eyes (Into my eyes)
Can't live without you by my side (You by my side)Embed
