This is dedicated
Ye yeah run it back (run it back) I need her (to her) (shout out)
This song is dedicated to her
Ye yeah run it back (run it back) I need her (shout out)
This song is dedicated to her
Yeahhhh (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Yeahhhh (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Yeahhhh (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Yeahhhh (ah, ah, ah, ah)
[chorus]
Cause I remember how things were in the beginning (in the beginning)
Now its killing me to think this could be ending
Tell me what I gotta to do to make it better
For you
Cause I used to be the one, the one, the one, the one
Tell me what I gotta to do to make it better
For you
Cause I used to be the one
[verse 1]
When was the last time you told me that you love me
I know I can remember the last time I told you, you were lovely
And all we've been doing girl is fussing and fighting, baby,
And now that the table's turned, theres a lesson learned
[hook]
Tell me what I gotta to do to earn your all again,
I wish that I could turn the hands of time back to when we were friends
[chorus]
Cause I remember how things were in the beginning (in the beginning)
Now its killing me to think this could be ending
Tell me what I gotta to do to make it better
For you
Cause I used to be the one, the one, the one, the one
Tell me what I gotta to do to make it better
For you
Cause I used to be the one
[verse 2]
Tell me when was the last time we've had a heart to heart,
I know that all the games that I played with you, you would never start?
But you said (you were with) your friends (but I called) their phone (and she said) you was with a man
It hurts when the shoe's on the other foot (and the other one is out in the corner)
[hook]
What I gotta to do to earn your all again,
I wish that I could turn the hands of time back to when we were friends
[chorus]
Cause I remember how things were in the beginning (in the beginning)
Now its killing me to think this could be ending (killing me baby)
Tell me what I gotta to do to make it better
For you
Cause I used to be the one, the one, the one, the one
Tell me what I gotta to do to make it better
For you
Cause I used to be the one
