On The Side

(album: Time & Space - 2021)

Yeah, yeah

You said you just want me to love you
Make time, text back, never ignore you
Craving someone who'll be here for you
But I don't listen when you complain
Baby, I've been acting distant
And we barely talk, I only call you (Yeah)
When I am/ 1AM not sober, that is when my feelings take over
I wanna let down my guard and open up
Introverted tendencies, can't help but yearn
For some time alone, don't think I'm being rude
And you can't leave me and wonder why it isn't like it used to be, yeah
I got you paranoid

Shawty think a nigga seeing bitches on the side
'Cause I pull away when everything is going fine
Got a lot of feelings, I'm just holding 'em inside
I may seem cold but your touch make me warm
I've been trying to pretend it wasn't part of the plan
Should I let go of fear and put my trust in you, ooh?
Let me know if this thing's worth the potential pain?
Should I allow myself to fall in love with you, ooh?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Oh, oh, you)
Don't know [?]
Should I allow myself to fall in love with you, ooh?

I've been hurt before, now I'm broken
I don't trust nobody not even my daddy
Bitches cold-hearted, know you heard about 'em
They will cheat on their man for some red bottoms, yeah
Baby, my intuition is telling me you're different (Yeah)
Girl, you don't need permission to love me, you stay persistent
I respect it up, you say that you'll never let me go
Are you gonna be faithful? You wanna fix my heart and soul with your loving (Yeah)
I'm still on a journey to healing and know this is your fault, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Shawty think a nigga seeing bitches on the side
'Cause I pull away when everything is going fine
Got a lot of feelings, I'm just holding 'em inside
I may seem cold but your touch make me warm
I've been trying to pretend it wasn't part of the plan
Should I let go of fear and put my trust in you, ooh?
Let me know if this thing's worth the potential pain?
Should I allow myself to fall in love with you, ooh?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Oh, oh, you)
Don't know [?]
Should I allow myself to fall in love with you, ooh?
