I wanna know what you see in me, in me
I wanna know what you need from me (I wanna know what you need)
I wanna know what you see in me (what you see, what you see, what you see, what you see in I)
I wanna know what you need from me (what's in me, what's in me, I)
Snoop Dogg said they all hos and tricks
Was just a teenager only thinkin' with my dick
Got my heart broke once and haven't recovered since
After that, I said that I would never be faithful again (uh)
Used to, fuck 'em and leave 'em, why would they believe 'em? (Nah)
Would say anythin' to get my face up in their cleavage (uh-huh)
A hit dawg holla, so I was at your daughter's
Doin' anythin' I can just to try to get their bra off
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (sorry), just wanted satisfaction (yeah)
Slidin' in DMs just to slide on prophylactics (uh-huh)
Wasn't 'bout attraction (nah), just wanna bend it backwards (uh)
Skeet on butt cheeks and I wouldn't pass 'em a napkin (yeah)
Trapped in my ego, gettin' whatever he want
Abuse my power, takin' advantage of other people (uh-huh)
Low self-esteem had me gettin' you out your jeans
Chasin' after flings, thought love was just a dream
Hope it all goes your way (way, you decide way)
There's nothin' you can say to me
Sorry, you keep savin' me
I wanna know what you see in me, in me
I wanna know what you need from me (I wanna know what you need)
I wanna know what you see in me (what you see, what you see, what you see, what you see in I)
I wanna know what you need from me (from me, from me, I)
Self-sabotage, I thought it was a mirage, uh
Player for life, but it was all a facade (facade)
How could you love someone that don't even love theyself? (How?)
Copin' mechanism with drugs, thought it would help
But you never gave up (how?), how did you put up? (Uh)
With all the lies I was livin', how could you even trust?
I was stuck, down and out, now see what love is about
Nursed all my hurt, now 'em rainy days is a drought
Behind every good man, yeah, you know the rest (uh-huh)
When I was doin' bad, the right one couldn't accept
Thinkin' they all the same (same), but now I see the difference (difference)
And found the one to help me change the way that I was livin'
I gotta stay disciplined, can't fuck this up
Resistin' temptation 'cause it's all 'bout us
Through the ups and downs, stay by my side
Now I got somethin' to live for, I was dyin' inside
Hope it all goes your way (way, every time, way)
There's nothin' you can say to me
Sorry, you keep savin' me
I wanna know what you see in me, in me
I wanna know what you need from me (I wanna know what you need)
I wanna know what you see in me (what you see, what you see, what you see, what you see in, I, I don't know, I don't know, I don't)
I wanna know what you need from me (from me, from me, I, uh, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, what you need, what you need)
You deserve a better me
He's still alive, somewhere in me
Golden body
Meltin' on that hill where you died
Still alive
