Song Lyrics

Tell me girl, do you know what you want?
Tell me girl, do you understand now where it is
And do you just know who you are?

Oh, tell me girl, what's in your heart?
I know it's hard, can you play a part?
Can you take your mind off the silly things
Keep your eye on the ball?
I know this inconsistent relationship trip is killing you
It's killing me too, believe it or not
But you ain't gotta worry 'bout nobody comin' round here
Getting none of this, or takin' your spot

Do you think about the times that we're together?
And she said, "no, but I think about the times we ain't together"
And I said "oh"
I said, "no, this ain't right"
Since your hands got too much time
Staying up all hours of the night
Checking my page, seeing who and what I like
All my time learnt, seeing who is new
Don't worry about who follows who
Baby here's the truth
Yeah, I see a lot of people
But baby I want you

I'm try a love you true
Celebrate who you are
Appreciate you for you
Baby I want you
We need to let go of the jealousy
'Cause turnin' our back won't do
Without compromise, we'd lose
Oh baby I want you

It's you, I really can't say enough about you
Yeah, baby I choose
All I wanna do is be around you
Don't you worry 'bout the old
'Cause we're on to the new
And suddenly I guess I'm thinkin' 'bout you
Know that nothing can come between
What we have and what we do
So for the times that I'm gone
Know that this much is true
Baby you are not alone
So I'm asking you

Do you think about the times that we're together?
But you said, "no, I think about the times we ain't together"
I said "oh"
What in the world are we tryna do?
What we tryna say?
What we tryna prove?
Fussin' and fightin' like we want a war
When we both know that ain't true
As long as the sky is blue
As long as the homie sing a song or two
Baby it's true, I'ma see a whole lot of people
But baby I want you

I'm try a love you true
Celebrate who you are
Appreciate you for you
Baby I want you
We need to let go of the jealousy
'Cause turnin' our back won't do
Without compromise, we'd lose
Oh baby I want you

Oh baby I choose you, happy to have you
And not 'cause I need you, but baby I want you
There's a whole lot of noise in the world going on
A whole lot of drama without cause
If we want, but we don't so we won't
'Cause baby I want you

I want you babe
Because I want you, because I want you
Not 'cause I need you, I really want you babe
And I guess I want you, already have it
Not 'cause I need you, because I want you babe
Not 'cause I need you, I really love you
I really want you babe
And I gotta have you, I wanna lead you
I kinda need you babe
(And I better have you
I really love you
And I choose you, babe)
