Had a lot of space, nothin' in the way
I was movin' 'round like everywhere
Had a couple flings, didn't mean a thing
'Cause I'm not the type to really care
'Til you came up 'round my heart
Say you been workin' hard for my attention, for a minute
I never felt so soft, you throw my decisions off

Yeah, I see you tryin' real hard and that's good enough
Spend a little more time, so that's good enough
Now you all on my mind, and that's good enough
For me, for me
Not an easy read, I'm sure
I'm not the typical girl
And I know I make it hard, but I see you tryin'
When I look into your eyes, I just can't deny it

You got the topic, I always wanted
Usually not my type, but, I still want it
Boy, you got good somethin'
Wake me up in the mornin', love is on my appetite
No, you don't wanna waste my time
I see you tryin', I see you tryin'

I see you tryin', they always say to, "Wait for the perfect timin'"
I tried to cut you off, but you wasn't buyin'
You messin' up my plans, I was tryna fight it, oh yeah
I made you wait (wait), you never had a girl put you in your place
Pain ain't on my heart, I just wanna say (say), you cut the chase
I can't escape ('scape, 'scape, 'scape)

Yeah, I see you tryin' real hard and it's good enough
Spend a little more time, so that's good enough
Now you all on my mind, and that's good enough
For me, for me
Not an easy read, I'm sure
I'm not the typical girl
And I know I make it hard, but I see you tryin'
When I look into your eyes, I just can't deny it

You got the topic, I always wanted
Usually not my type, but, I still want it
Boy, you got good somethin'
Wake me up in the mornin', love is on my appetite
No, you don't wanna waste my time
I see you tryin', I see you tryin'

Truth is, I'm down
You ain't been in love
But, you learnin' how I need you now
Kind of feel weird 'cause
You're not so comfortable sharin' your feelings
Ooh, I commend you
You're really winnin'
You got my attention, no competition (yeah, yeah)

You got the topic, I always wanted (I want it)
Usually not my type, but, I still want it (I want it)
Boy, you got good somethin'
Wake me up in the mornin' (wake me up, wake me up, yeah yeah)
Love is on my appetite (yeah, appetite)
No, you don't wanna waste my time (no, you don't)
I see you tryin', I see you tryin'

I see you tryin', I see you tryin'
I see you tryin'
