[Verse 1]
I know we said we wouldn't do this
But I can't help the way I feel
And, yeah, your ego's gotten too big
For you to tell me this is real
[Pre-Chorus]
So when I’m all up in my feelings feeling blue
When you're down and out and don't know what to do
So, let's take a little minute, me and you
'Cause you love the way this feels and that's the truth
[Chorus]
Why can't you just love me right? (Why can't you just?)
Why can't we spend the night? (Why can't we?)
Why can't you just treat me right? (Why can't you just?)
Why can't we just be in love? (Why can't we?)
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, oh, woah
Ooh, ooh, woah
Ah
[Verse 2]
You got me swimming in your ocean
You got me falling way too deep
So now I'm drowning in emotions
You got me falling at your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
So when I’m all up in my feelings feeling blue
When you're down and out and don't know what to do
So, let's take a little minute, me and you
'Cause you love the way this feels and that's the truth, uh (love the way this feels and that's the truth)
[Chorus]
Why can't you just love me right? (Why can't you just?)
Why can't we spend the night? (Why can't we?)
Why can't you just treat me right? (Why can't you just?)
Why can't we just be in love? (Why can't we?)
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, oh, woah
Ooh, ooh, woah
Ah
[Bridge]
I tried to make you listen 'bout a thousand times
How you getting caught up leaving me behind?
I can cross your "t"s and you can dot my "i"s
So don't you leave, don't you leave me
I tried to make you listen 'bout a thousand times
How you getting caught up leaving me behind?
I can cross your "t"s and you can dot my "i"s
So don't you leave, don't you leave
I mean it
[Chorus]
Why can't you just love me right? (Why can't you just?)
Why can't we spend the night? (Why can't we?)
Why can't you just treat me right? (Why can't you just?)
Why can't we just be in love? (Why can't we?)
[Post-Chorus]
Mhm (Ah, oh, woah)
Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh, woah)
(Ah)
