[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 (I want ya)
When you're down and out and don't know what to do (I got ya)
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 we spend the night?
Why can't you just treat me right?
Why can't we just be in love?
[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 ya feet
[Pre-Chorus]
So when I’m all up in my feelings feeling blue (I want ya)
When you're down and out and don't know what to do (I got ya)
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 we spend the night?
Why can't you just treat me right?
Why can't we just be in love?
[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 me
I mean it
[Chorus]
Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we spend the night?
Why can't you just treat me right?
Why can't we just be in love?
