"Backburner" lyrics

All the lovers that I got stay steamin' in the pot
I been cookin' like Joycetta
My love's got a long shelf life
Finna be leftovers in the oven
Bring a tupperware when you come over
Yeah, I make a lotta food, but this recipe it's meant for you
Yeah, it's only you, you say I spread myself too thin
Maybe my love's too diluted
Yeah, I get jealous when she sees you naked
Guess I can dish it out, but I can't take it

My jealousy is teachin' me the empty cups that need filling
My jealousy is teachin' me my needs
Won't you stay with me?
I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are
Won't you reach for me?
Don't lie to yourself, babe if it's too far

I still think about
The family we almost made
Vacations we ain't take
I know it hurts that I didn't stay
I understand if you can't forgive me
I still keep the flame on with the lid
I still keep your name warm on my lips
You hate to hear me say it, but I hope we can be friends
You wouldn't feel so anxious
I wouldn't be so strained
I'd be the best to you that way
It's not the end for us, I pray

My jealousy is teachin' me the empty cups that need filling
My jealousy is teachin' me my needs
Won't you stay with me?
I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are
Won't you reach for me?
Don't lie to yourself, babe if it's too far

Won't you stay with me? (Won't you stay for now)
I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are (Won't you stay for now)
Won't you reach for me? (Won't you stay for now)
Don't lie to yourself, babe if it's too far (Won't you stay for now)
Won't you stay with me?
If I could stay with you (Won't you stay for now)
I'd be better to you
We could make it alright (Won't you stay for now)
(Won't you reach for me?)
Let me stay with you (Won't you stay for now)
I wanna reach for you
I'll be right there by your side (Won't you stay for now)
(Won't you stay with me?)
I could stay with you (Won't you stay for now)
I'd be better to you
And we could make it alright (Won't you stay for now)
(Won't you reach for me?)
Let me stay with you (Won't you stay for now)
I wanna reach for you
I'll be right there by your side (Won't you stay for now)
