"tell me why" lyrics
You say you wanna love me down
I say we need to start it slow (Start, let's go slow, baby)
I do wanna get into you
But there's so much more I need to know (Who made the beat? Charlie)
Been consistent
I told you that it's been this way
Straight-faced, didn't hesitate
Now it's news to you
Like CNN breakdown
Think we need a break now
Different when you're face down
Finna see how it plays out
Touch down at LAX
First time since shit went left
Should've called, but I second-guessed
Wish you didn't send that text
Was good up until now
Till you brought the cuffs out (Cuffs out)
No link, no bustdown
Guess the jury still out (Still out)
Baby, we're not in a stable position
You bring your heart to the table drippin'
Feelings involved, never gave you permission
Baby, we're so far from stable
But you say you wanna love me down (Down)
But tell me why
You say you wanna love me down (Down)
Tell me why
I (Hate how I can't be what you want)
I (Hate that we went so wrong)
But you say you wanna love me down (Down)
But tell me why (Down)
You say you wanna love me down (Down)
Tell me why (Down)
I (Hate how I can't be what you want)
I (Hate that we went so wrong)
Need some more time
I pull up, she want hands to herself
Missed that body, no, I couldn't help
Now she want a nigga all by herself
Want your lick back, lick back
Times I been missin'
I admit that, 'mit that
But every time, it's complicated
Why you swing so low?
Not Aaliyah, you don't rock no boat
I'm just tryna keep our shit afloat
But you weigh it down, you do the most
Baby, we need peace of mind, peace of mind
I just wanna settle down, make your heart be mine
Baby, we're not in a stable position
You bring your heart to the table drippin'
Feelings involved, never gave you permission
Baby, we're so far from stable
But you say you wanna love me down (Down)
But tell me why
You say you wanna love me down (Down)
Tell me why
I (Hate how I can't be what you want)
I (Hate that we went so wrong)
But you say you wanna love me down (Down)
But tell me why (Down)
You say you wanna love me down (Down)
Tell me why (Down)
I (Hate how I can't be what you want)
I (Hate that we went so wrong)
I say we need to start it slow (Start, let's go slow, baby)
I do wanna get into you
But there's so much more I need to know (Who made the beat? Charlie)
Been consistent
I told you that it's been this way
Straight-faced, didn't hesitate

I (Hate that we went so wrong)
