Baby I just don't get it 
Do you enjoy being hurt? 
I know you smelled the perfume, 
The make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around 
And I just don't know why

If I was ya man (baby you'd)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'd be coming home (back to you)
Every night, doin' you right 
You're the type of woman (deserves good things)
Fist full of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you, you are) 

You should let me love you 
Let me be the one to 
Give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection 
Make me your selection 
Show you the way love's supposed to be 
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you, 
Love you yeah

Listen
Your true beauty's description 
Looks so good that it hurts 
You're a dime plus ninety-nine 
And it's a shame don't even know what you're worth 
Everywhere you go they stop and stare 
'Cause you're bad and it shows 
From your head to your toes, out of control, baby you know 

If I was ya man (baby you'd)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'd be coming home (back to you)
Every night doin' you right 
You're the type of woman (deserves good things)
Fist full of diamonds (a hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you, you are) 

You should let me love you 
Let me be the one to 
Give you everything you want and need
Ooh baby good love and protection 
Make me your selection 
Show you the way love's supposed to be 
Baby you should let me

You deserve better girl (you know you deserve better) 
We should be together girl (baby)
With me and you it's whatever girl, hey!
So can we make this thing ours?

You should let me love you 
Let me be the one to 
Give you everything you want and need
Good love and protection 
Make me your selection 
Show you the way love's supposed to be 

You should let me love you 
Let me be the one to 
Give you everything you want and need
Good love and protection 
Make me your selection 
Show you the way love's supposed to be 

You should let me love you 
Let me be the one to 
Give you everything you want and need
Good love and protection 
Make me your selection 
Show you the way love's supposed to be yeah
