My Own

Said I been away too long
Every time I hear that song
I don't wanna hear it no more
Baby, I can't take no more from you
I don't wanna play no more
Don't be goin' back and forth on me
I be already on call
Even when I know it's wrong for me
Somethin', don't know, but it's somethin'
I don't wanna work for somethin' knowin' it ain't worth it
Oh, comin', you knew it was comin'
You should know that I don't act like that without a purpose, oh, no
Call me crazy, baby, you just bring it out of me (Uh)
I'm tryna do better, but you ain't been helpin' me
Baby, I can't help it, you know how to get to me
I, I
I been tryna hold my own
My own, my own
Ooh, baby, on my own
My own, my own, ooh
Don't mind me, 'cause it ain't about you (Oh)
We both need space and that's all so true (Ooh)
Know it's okay if you can't come through
I'm savin' your place and it's all for you, oh
Oh, we been waitin' too long (Yeah)
I was tryna keep calm, either way, we both wrong
I been waitin' on a call, ooh, I really wanna call you
I been tryna be strong, you're the only one I wanna talk to
Oh, yeah, you just know me better
And it just gets better, just let me undress ya
On you, on you, 'cause I just love the feeling
When you go inside it and I get excited
Oh, oh
Baby, you keep showin' out, but I just can't slow it down
'Cause I just want you right now, with me now
Don't you keep on holdin' out, givin' me the run-around
Are you just noticing now?
I'm on my own
My own, my own
Ooh, baby, on my own
My own, my own
I been tryna hold my own
My own, my own
I'm just tryna hold my own
My own, my own, yeah
