Can't Be Both Ways

I can't keep it quiet, keep the peace, I gotta speak Can't keep the tongue in this cheek, so fuckin' tired of bein' weak Has it only been a week, we've been talkin' every day Well, it's long overdue, I pray it never goes away I pray your feelings never fade, cause the sky's never grey Sunshine, you brighten up my day, I gotta grin on display But I also got dismay, cause life is always throwin' curves And I know I oughta swerve, sit here thinkin' 'bout the terms Say you live and you learn, but I haven't learned shit Only thing I know is livin' like this better never quit I hope it only gets better, cause we're meant to be together Love like this is tough to measure, so I said it, first confessor Damn girl, you a treasure, should be treated as such Do you think I crossed the line, yeah, maybe a touch My heart is skippin' double dutch, use these rhymes as a crutch All I needed was a nudge, my foot's comin' off that clutch It might be love, or, just a reminder It could be true love, or I am just a fool It might be love, or, just a reminder It can't be both ways, please don't be cruel We keep on sayin' we should stop, but our feelings won't let off Just a force that can't be blocked, like the tickin' of a clock I'm a hawk, got you locked, but I just can't make the swoop Got me flyin' in a loop, till I can land down on your stoop I dropped a bomb, dropped a nuke, and you still didn't flee Now this heart's on a spree, you know I'm buzzin' like a bee I would gladly pay the fee, any price to make you mine Let me sign the dotted line, cause I ain't leavin' cloud nine Girl, you always on my mind, from the mornin' to the night Even in dreams, you in my sight, the limelight of my life If this ain't right, then God smite, strike me down to the ground Cause I ain't givin' up this fight, I'm goin' round for round and pound for pound You never gonna frown, no, I'm gonna keep you happy Sayin' sentiments so sappy, chattin' till my voice is raspy I know the timing's crappy, but I guess that's life You know I really can't gripe, ain't never felt more alive It might be love, or, just a reminder It could be true love, or I am just a fool It might be love, or, just a reminder It can't be both ways, please don't be cruel Three months have gone by, and we still doin' this dance So hypnotized, I'm in a trance, locked in since first glance Such a sucker for romance, I can't pass up on a chance So yo, I'm startin' to advance, do it for me like freelance I've fallen like an avalanche, so girl, I'm goin' all in I'd commit any sin, you see your heart, I must win You the drug, I wanna binge, why the supply so thin Just the touch of your skin, makes my fuckin' head spin Heartbeat doubles like a twin, feelin' shit I never felt Best card that I've been dealt, but damn, it hurts like a welt Sometimes the words are hard to read, like they badly misspelled Feel like a trapper with no pelts, but shit, it's far from hell But now it's clear to tell, the time has come to make a choice And I'm tryin' to keep my poise, just got my mind to voice Life with you's a Rolls Royce, but we can't roll to Illinois Don't want just some, I need it all, ain't no doubt you'd enjoy it It might be love, or, just a reminder It could be true love, or I am just a fool It might be love, or, just a reminder It could be both ways, please don't be cruel
