[Intro]
Come on, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Don't give the tired act
After you been runnin’ 'round
The time you spend with me
You shouldn't be comin’ down (Comin’ down)
Don't give me no attitude (Attitude)
Sayin’ what you will and will not do (Do)
Baby, we need compromise
If we're gonna make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
Push yourself a little more, boy
For me, you gotta try a little harder
All I do is for the love of you, yeah
Show me you're always gonna be there
No matter what, you're always gonna be there
Here's what you’ve gotta do
[Chorus]
I wanna see you backflip, cartwheel
Don't be cuttin’ corners on me
You gotta give me all that you've got
I need to see it to believe it
I wanna see you backflip, for real
Show me that you really do feel everything
You say that you do
I need to see it to believe it, babe
[Verse 2]
Don't bring me no baggage
‘Cause I've got plenty of my own (Own)
Bring me all your good stuff
Baby, leave the rest at home
You've got your own philosophy
Wanna hear all that you believe (Believe)
But if it ain't about bein’ faithful
Then it ain't impressin’ me, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Push yourself a little more, boy
For me, you gotta try a little harder
All I do is for the love of you, oh
Show me you're always gonna be there
No matter what, you're always gonna be there
Here's what you’ve gotta do

I wanna see you backflip, cartwheel
Don't be cuttin’ corners on me
You gotta give me all that you've got
I need to see it to believe it
I wanna see you backflip, for real
Show me that you really do feel everything
You say that you do
I need to see it to believe it, babe

I’m gonna walk (Walk), run (Run), jump (Jump)
Cart (Cart), wheel (Wheel), back (Back), flip (Flip)
Just to be with you
There's nothin’ I won't do

I wanna see you backflip, for real
Show me that you really do feel everything
You say that you do
I need to see it to believe it, babe
