Read Your Mind

(album: We Need To Talk - 2019)

[Tayla Parx:]
Be careful with the rest of me 'cause my heart's already broken
I swear this is harder than it seems for me to be this open
But it'd be easier if you were all good, or all bad
'Cause now it's somewhere in between

But baby, if you're gonna love me then hurry and love me so I know I'm not leaving
And baby, if you're gonna hate me then hurry and hate me, say it like you mean it, ooh

'Cause I can't hate you and love you at the same time
And at the end you'll get what you want and I'll be fine
Whether you love me or hate me, don't care what you say
But baby, pick a side, 'cause I can't read your...

I can't account for words that's left unspoken
I'm sorry that I let you down, if that's what you were hoping
But I'd rather you slapped me straight with the truth
Versus kissing me with a lie, mmh
'Cause if it's fake, what's the use?
In pretending you're trying to try

Baby, if you're gonna love me then hurry and love me so I know I'm not leaving
And baby, if you're gonna hate me then hurry and hate me, say it like you mean it, ooh

'Cause I can't hate you and love you at the same time
And at the end you'll get what you want and I'll be fine
Whether you love me or hate me, don't care what you say
But baby, pick a side, 'cause I can't read your...

Lately, I've been having much on mind (It's so much on my mind)
And time is something I can never seem to (I can never seem to find)
And if I had a wish, I'd wish to rewind (Rewind)
To two hours ago when you walk out of the door
And my pride declined me from even running behind
To stop you, to hold your hand and tell you what I'd do
If I was ready, but never even remind you
That you got something good
Fuck what anybody say, they misunderstood
I ain't perfect anyway, but the likelihood
Of me pulling up right to your neighborhood
And knocking on your door
To tell you everything that you wanna hear
Anything so you don't disappear

[Tayla Parx:]
Baby, if you're gonna love me then hurry and love me so I know I'm not leaving
And baby, if you're gonna hate me then hurry and hate me, say it like you mean it, ooh

'Cause I can't hate you and love you at the same time
And at the end you'll get what you want and I'll be fine
Whether you love me or hate me, don't care what you say
But baby, pick a side, 'cause I can't read your...
