I'm running out of patience
'Cause I can't believe what the hell
I'm hearing
And speaking of hell
It don't compare to this heat
That I am feeling

I love you too much

All my emotions go
Out of control oh whoa whoa
Good for you bad for me
When I can hardly see
From the tears that flow oh whoa

Can't forget to breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Before I lose it get comp- oh oh oh 'sure

I am gunna breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Ladies never lose comp, oh oh oh 'sure

Not goin' lie
Or even try
You've got my wheel spinning
And I ain't the one to show
The gun
'Cause that means you will be
Winning oh yeah

All my emotions go
Out of control oh whoa whoa
Good for you bad for me
When I can hardly see
From the tears that flow oh whoa

Ooh oh ooh
Can't forget to breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Before I lose it get comp- oh oh oh 'sure

I am goin' breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Ladies never lose comp- oh oh oh 'sure

Somebody better hold me back
You're lucky I know how to act
(so lucky ain't goin' attack)
I'm being calm and cool
But believe me you
It's taking everything to just
Breathe breathe breathe

Can't forget to breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Before I lose it get comp- oh oh oh 'sure

I am goin' breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Ladies never lose comp- oh oh oh 'sure

Can't forget to breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Before I lose it get comp- oh oh oh 'sure

I am goin' breathe slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
'Cause ladies take it in
And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure
Ladies never lose comp- oh oh oh 'sure
