[Verse 1]
Does he keep you warm at night?
Like carnelian around my neck
Does he live by the moonlight?
Wear carnelian in our bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
[Chorus]
I’m holding on to something strong
But everything I try is not enough
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
And in the end, yes in the end

(Two of us)
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing

(Satisfied)

[Chorus]
And in the end, yes in the end
There’s only meant to be two of us
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
(Why does it hurt?)
[Outro]
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
