(Talking) You know what baby? I'm so glad that your mine and I'm yours. I thank God for you and you just make me better. You're my betta half.
Who who, who loves me like you do
Oh baby baby, who who, who loves me like you do
(Listen Baby) There just aint another way for me to say it
How much I thank the Lord for you
(and I mmm) I know I would have never seen the light of day
Without your strength to guide me through
You are my homie (my homie), my best friend (my best friend), my lover (my lover), my dime (my dime).
To show you what I'm feeling, and let you know its real
There is no mountain I won't climb
(whispers-and it hurts me baby) (it hurts me) its hurts me
(Just to know your hurting) It hurts me bad
(And it kills me) It kills me,
(Just to know your sad) just to know you're sad
(You're all I need), you're all I need, (you're more than just a friend to me)
You're everything, cause you're my betta half.
There just aint a thing that I won't do for you.
You are my light (light), my inner soul.
Without you here, I'd loose my life and all it is.
Without your love I'll loose control.
How can I explain, words just can't describe.
Gotta tell you though, can't think about my pride.
You were meant for me, you are a gift from God.
You're the seed of my soul, you're my young when I'm old.
On no (it hurts me) and it hurts me yes it does (just to know you're hurting) it hurts me when I know you're hurting
(it kills me), and it kills me (just to know your sad)
It kills me, and I'm ready to love you
(You're all I need) you're all I need
(You're more than just a friend indeed) more than just a friend yeah
(You're everything) c'mon (cause you're my betta half)
Oh oh yes you are
Aint nobody else gon' love me like you love me (love me)
And I'm sure of it cause your my betta half (my betta half)
Aint nobody else gon' treat me like you treat me (treat me)
And I'm sure of it cause your my betta half (my betta half)
You put up with the hard times, (put up with the hard times)
You put up with the sad times, (put up with the sad times)
And you've proven you love me
Girl I love you, this is so true, your the best girl, do you hear me.. and I'm ready for change girl.
(It hurts me) ooh hoo (just to know you're hurting) just to know you're hurting) just to know that you're hurting baby
(And it kills me) and it kills me (just to know you're sad) just to know you're sad 2x
(You're all I need) ooh you're all I need (you're more than just a friend indeed) ooh you're all I need
(you're everything) Whooo (cause you're my betta half)
Oh you're my betta half oh yes you are baby
(It hurts me) Whooo just to know (just to know you're hurting)
Just to know that you're sad (it kills me) Whoa yeah
(Fading - just to know you're sad) just to know you're sad 2x
(You're all I need, you're more than just a friend indeed)
More than just a friend, yes you are
