The song is about warning her mate that his busy life was slowly pushing her away. This refers to her then-fiance Quentin Richardson.
[Verse 1]
I thought about calling you (Calling you), but I, changed my mind
The moment I thought about what you do to me every time
I'm tryna come home and see ya
You actin' like you can't make no time for me
So, I'm putting down this receiver
'Cause if you don't know by now, just how much I need ya
Then you'll never know...
[Chorus]
How I feel, it's only gonna change if you let it (Feel)
And it's real soon, if you don't do what I ask of you, oh
Boy, I'm still (Boy, I'm still), missing you so bad, it's pathetic
I'm for real, see, I need more than your guarantee
Boy, you're losing me
[Verse 2]
You used to be so attentive, called me at least twice a day
But now I have no support, no incentive
To keep me loving you this way
I sit alone waiting patient, for you to return to me
And I can't believe just how long your replies are taking
If you don't know by now what mistake you're making
Then you'll never know...
[Chorus]
How I feel, it's only gonna change if you let it
And it's real soon, if you don't do what I ask of you
Boy, I'm still, missing you so bad it's pathetic
Oh, I'm for real, see, I need more than your guarantee
Boy, you're losing me
[Bridge]
I hate it when you treat me like a burden
It hurts when I feel like you don't need me
I wanna believe that you love me
But it's so hard to relax when you won't call me back
Blowin' me off like it's a wrap, I just hate it
'Cause I'm tired of complaining
If you ain't never gonna change it
Then you can't change the way I feel, no
[Chorus]
How I feel, it's only gonna change if you let it
And it's real soon, if you don't do what I ask of you
Boy, I'm still (I'm still), missing you so bad it's pathetic
I'm for real, see, I need more than your guarantee
Boy, you're losing me
[Outro]
How I feel (How I feel, boy), it's only gonna change if you let it
And it's real soon, if you don't do what I ask of you
(And I want you more)
Boy, I'm still (I'm still), missing you so bad, it's pathetic
I'm for real, see, I need more than your guarantee
(Need ya, I want ya, gotta have you, baby)
Boy, you're losing me
