You wondering why I (why I)
Don’t come around like I used to
Play around like I used to
It’s not you, it’s me, I got a
A different set of urgencies now
Scared of watching my life go down the drain
Can’t let it be you in my way, so I
Tread carefully no bra
Tread carefully no panties
I tread carefully ‘till I'm on top of you
And now I regret coming over here
Why you coming over here?
You know what you’re doin’
I can’t front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can’t front, really want you bad as you want me too
I want you bad as you want me
And I bet it’s good cause you know what you’re doin’
Know what you’re doin’
How do you feel?
Fighting your feelings
Scared of your feelings
Living in Whiteout
I can't see nothin' but you
Staring down my headlights
Gotta get my head right
Damn, I been here all night now
Gotta get my ways together (get your shit together)
Gotta gather all my shit I said I wouldn’t stay all night
But it’s 7 AM I'm gonna miss my next meeting fucking wit’ you
Guards down fucking wit’ you
I'm making bad decisions how I'm living and I like it
We're stuck in the feeling (never havin' anybody)
But you're feelin' nobody enough
Stuck in the feeling (never havin' anybody)
Got your hands all on me, so we
Tread carefully no bra
Tread carefully no panties
I tread carefully ‘till I'm on top of you
And now I-
I can’t front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can’t front, really want you bad as you want me too
I want you bad as you want me
And I bet it’s good cause you know what you’re doin’
Know what you’re doin’
I can’t front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can’t front, really want you bad as you want me too
I want you bad as you want me
And I bet it’s good cause you know what you’re doin’
Know what you’re doin’
