Verse 1


Lonely people on the street

watch the women that you meet

kitchen's hot, can't stand the heat

words they chew are hard to eat

Why are people all up in the business?

Can't you see they'll only try to end this?

Tell your boys you've got to mind

They're business or you'll end up lonely and dependent


Hook:

Ain't no need to cry

My love is bona fide

I tried and I tried

to hold you down

to hold you down



Verse 2


They want to see us fall apart

salt our wounds, bruise our hearts

knock us down before we start

I can tell you who they are

I wanting you and for me that can't be wrong

Still wanting you so for me could you hold on


Hook repeats


Bridge:


People try to tell me that you're gonna leave me lonely but they don't know

People try to tell me that I'm not you're one and only but they don't know

People try to tell me you're just trying to get up on me but they don't know

People try to tell me I'm a fool and you're a phony but they don't know


They don't know

They don't know

They don't know

They don't know

They don't know-o, know-o, know-o, know-o
