Love was just a four letter word
Misused to entrust the heart of followers
But it never meant a damn thing to me
Until you came so unexpectedly
Then you curved my whole attitude
Got me feelin' ways that I never thought I could
See really what I'm tryin' to say is I like what I'm feelin'
And I hope you never take it away

[Chorus]
I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
Until you came
Baby I never gave my heart to love
I never gave my time to love
I never even cared for love
And then you came, baby I

I can't believe you walked through my defenses
And made me smooth out my rough ends and
You got me open and I'm hopin' that this ain't no act
'Cause I don't want no parts of that
Matter fact, I really hope that you're true
'Cause I want to invest my time in you
And all my childish dreams with all my conversations
'Cause I know that somethin' special's in the makin' I

[Chorus]

Ooh la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Yo! Seriously though, I'm buggin'. I'm, I'm really confused
'Cause I trust you with some things you say, but with other things
I just don't trust you. But my mama said work with it, you know what I mean?
It's like I've been going through all these emotions
And I'm dealin' with stuff I've never dealt with before
It's like you just, hmm, you got me straight trippin' boo.
I don't even know what's wrong with me.
But I hope you understand how I feel, 'cause I really care about you.
So check this out baby.

[Chorus: x2]
