Let me choose my words real carefully
Don`t let me be misunderstood, no
`Cause I don`t wanna say something I don`t really mean
I just wanna love you, love you, love you, love you real good

They always say, "Don`t go to bed angry"
So it`s been days since I got some sleep, babe
I say, "I miss you," you take it as I`m tryna guilt you
Like I`m insecure, oh
This quiet game ain`t working out for me

Leave your pride, I`ll leave mine

Lord knows I need patience with you
So I can explain this to you
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
I just wanna love you, love you, love you good
We got issues, so what?
It`s gonna be worth it when it`s over
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good

Don`t hear me wrong, I know I ain`t perfect (Oh no)
It won`t be long `til my words cause you hurting
You bring up something I don`t remember saying
It`s like I`m twisting the knife, oh
Please just hang on, yeah, I`m putting that work in, yeah

Leave your pride, I`ll leave mine

Lord knows I need patience with you
So I can explain this to you
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
I just wanna love you, love you, love you good
We got issues, so what?
It`s gonna be worth it when it`s over
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good

Let me choose my words carefully
So you can learn me too

Lord knows I need patience, mmm
Just wanna learn your language
Just wanna love you, so what?
It`s gonna be worth it when It`s over
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good
Lord knows I need patience with you (Yeah)
So I can explain this to you
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
(So I can, so I can love you) I just wanna love you, love you, love you good
We got issues, so what? (Ooh)
It`s gonna be worth it when it`s over
I`m tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good

Mmm
