Protection

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was cruising down the ave, thirty on the gas

Saw this chick and I couldn't help but look back

Put it in reverse, not even thinking about who I'm gonna hurt

Noo

Said I like what I see

Dunno what it is, but you got what I need

And it didn't even dawn on me what the consequences might be

Was it just my intention

Got a girl that I never seem to mention

And I tell myself that it's for her protection to erase in my head my deception

I ain't tryna lose my girl

But this chick got all my attention

And it's hard not to show her my affection

Yes, I know I'm going in the wrong direction

I don't need this in my world

You don't deserve someone like me

Cause I'll never give you what you need

I should walk away and let you be

Cause you don't deserve someone like me

It was just one kiss

But the way she did it made me think of your lips

Was not expecting to feel like this

When you're in love, this ain't how you live

And I shoulda went home

Couldn't stop myself cause she made me say oohhh

And the only thing I could see was my girl saying why'd you do this to me

And I gotta stop stressin'

Thought this girl was gonna run, say something

And if she do, I'm gonna say I did nothing

Man, I hope this chick don't be bugging

I ain't tryna lose my girl

Don't know why I couldn't be faithful

I ain't ever been no angel

Now I'm force to live with this label

I don't need this in my world

You don't deserve someone like me

Cause I'll never give you what you need

I should walk away and let you be

Cause you don't deserve someone like me

I shoulda loved you more

I don't know what I was with her for

One day I'll have to tell you the truth

Cause there ain't no excuse

I was with her when I should have been with you

Baby you don't deserve, noooo

You don't deserve someone like me

Cause I'll never give you what you need

I should walk away and let you be

Cause you don't deserve someone like me

You don't deserve someone like me
