[Intro]
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Listen, look
[Verse 1]
Take a little piece of me
Just a little piece of my heart
For the section I tore apart, yeah
I'm givin’ you a bit of me
I'm tryna make the pain go away
For the things that I didn't say (Yo)
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t call it growing pains, I did this before
And I might do it again, I want you to know
I didn't mean to be so wrong
But let me start again, my love
[Chorus]
So let me whisper before you holler
To remind ya I still love ya
So let me whisper before you holler
To remind ya I still love you (Yeah), yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Tryna make some sense of me
Tryna make no excuse for the things that I do to you, yeah
Don't make a difference, throw me all the way out to Mars
I still love you up to the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Some call it growing pains, I did it before
And I will do it again, I want you to know
I didn't mean to do what I've done
Can we start again, my love?
[Chorus]
So let me whisper 'fore you holler
To remind ya I still love ya
So let me whisper before you holler
To remind ya (Yeah, yeah) I still love you, yea-heah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Ohh, ohh
Let me, let me, tell you somethin' simple
One (One), two (Two), three (Three), I still want ya (I still want ya)
I still love ya (I still love ya)
Baby, baby, one (One), two (Two), three (Three)
Come here, lover (Come here, lover)
I still need you (I still need you)
[Chorus]
So let me whisper (Yes, yeah) before you holler (Before you holler)
To remind ya I still love ya
So let me whisper before you holler (Ooh, before you holla, baby)
To remind ya, I still love you (I still, I still-)
[Outro]
Whisper, before you holla, bab-
I still love ya
I still need you
So let me whisper (Let me whisper) before you holler (Before you holler)
To remind ya I still love ya
So let me whisper before you holler (Ooh, before you holler, baby)
To remind ya I still love you (I still, I still)
