...
[Verse 1]
I need to figure out what I want
Need a chance to miss you when you ain't around
To give you something to rely on
This ain’t the end, I promise it ain't how it sounds
[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta take a step back, let me get to know you (You)
Put in some space to get even closer
Sick of the talk and I wanna show you
So this can feel like it's supposed to
[Chorus]
We need some time, get it right, but you know that I’ll always
Be, be your shawty for life, even when you ain't next to
Me, no, you don't gotta worry 'cause I'll be your shawty
Ooh wee, no, you don't gotta worry 'cause I'll be your shawty
[Verse 2]
We feelin’ under pressure (Yeah)
I’m gonna fix it even if I don't know how
I wanna try ’til I've had enough (Had enough)
What I want is what we need, help me out (Help me out)
[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta take a step back, let me get to know you (You)
Put in some space to get even closer
Sick of the talk and I wanna show you
So this can feel like it's supposed to
[Chorus]
We need some time, get it right, but you know that I'll always
Be, be your shawty for life, even when you ain’t next to me
Me, no, you don't gotta worry 'cause I'll be your shawty
Ooh wee, no, you don't gotta worry 'cause I'll be your shawty
[Outro]
I'll be your shawty
No, you don't gotta worry 'cause I'll be your shawty
