Yo, we cool, right? Nah, I mean, we go back
You know back before the records
Before you went to college and became this person who you are
Oh, congratulations on that anyway too so
But for a long time it's been somethin' I need to tell you, listen

You see we been knowin' each other since we were about this high
Same elementary, shared the same bus stop
Even as a youngster I knew you was so fly
Even back then I knew you were the one

I watched you grow, I watched your transformation
Right through school to your current occupation
It took this long for me to man up and have this conversation
But f*ck it, here it go

I want you to want me
Girl I need to know that I can be your one and only
I need you to need me
See you were my worst mistake girl and that's why

It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you, that's why anything you say I'll do
So let me stop for a minute, take a second to say

Girl you take my breath away, away
Girl you take my breath away
You take my breath away, you take my breath away

They say one man's trash is the next man's treasure
Where one finds pain the next might find pleasure
I don't pay attention to them haters, now or never
I don't give a damn who was before me

All that matters is you're with me now
All I need to know is that you're down
Man it's somethin' special about round the way ladies
Ride or die, baby girl

I want you to want me
Girl I need to know that I can be your one and only
I need you to need me
See you were my worst mistake girl and that's why

It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you, that's why anything you say I'll do
So let me stop for a minute, take a second to say

Girl you take my breath away, away
Girl you take my breath away
You take my breath away, you take my breath away, yeah

It's like I die a little every time I see you with this guy
Thinkin' to myself, now why the hell she with that guy
While she ain't by my side, we would be so fly
We would live that life, the life you used to dream is all about rappin'

Back when I used to pull my BMX up alongside of your Schwinn
See and here we are again
Funny how fate brought my Phantom up alongside of your Benz
And still

I want you to want me
Girl I need to know that I can be your one and only
I need you to need me
See you were my worst mistake girl and that's why

It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you, that's why anything you say I'll do
So let me stop for a minute, take a second to say

Girl, you take my breath away, away
Girl, you take my breath away
You take my breath away, you take my breath away

Yeah, so I mean, like I said
You know we been knowin' each other for a long time
You seen me go through, I seen you go through
We here now and I just thought I'd tell you that's all

You got my numbers, you got my e-mail
You know everything, so I guess the next message I get from you
Will let me know what you think about this right here, aight?
Aight, get home safe
