[Verse 1]
Came back home smiling
Came back home talking 'bout this and talking 'bout that
But I ain't got shit to say to you
So, I'll just keep listening on, oh
I'll just keep working, baby
Tryna find a way back inside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Mm, you're calling her name
She's calling your phone at three in the morning
All of this pain, I can't afford to keep on avoiding
It's hurting me, babe
I'm feeling a way, you're pulling away
She's calling you bae
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not a option
You calling it something, knew that it wasn't
Ain't gotta lie about it
Ah, oh, ah, ah
Why'd I keep coming back?
All on your body, laid on your body
All in my body like that, ah
[Post-Chorus]
Don't want nobody touching, nobody touching
I don't want nobody holding your hand the way that I do
Don't want nobody knowing your mind the way that I do, no
Nobody calling you names, the ones that I use
Oh, ah, oh, ah
[Verse 2]
Hate that I'm attached to you
Hate that I went back to you, nah, nah
Hate that I attracted you
Hate that I ignored the truth, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Calling her name
She's calling your phone at three in the morning
All of this pain, I can't afford to keep on avoiding
Hate that I want the truth, but can't handle what you say
Ain't no use in staying, babe
If you don't feel the same way
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not a option
You calling it something, knew that it wasn't
Ain't gotta lie about it
Ah, oh, ah, ah
Why'd I keep coming back?
All on your body, laid on your body
All in my body like that, ah
[Outro]
Don't want your unrequited love, oh
Don't want you to force a happy end, oh, yeah
Yes, let me go, go, go
Go, go, go
You gotta let go, go, go
Go, go, go, oh, oh
