Let me choose my words real carefully
Don't let me be misunderstood, no
'Cause I don't wanna say something I don't really mean
I just wanna love you, love you, love you, love you real good

They always say, "Don't go to bed angry"
So it's been days since I got some sleep, babe
I say, "I miss you", you take it as I'm tryna guilt you
Like I'm insecure

This quiet game ain't working out for me
Leave your pride, I'll leave mine

Lord knows I need patience with ya
So I can explain this to ya
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
I just wanna love you, love you, love you good
We got issues, so what?
It's gonna be worth it when it's over
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good

Don't hear me wrong, I know I ain't perfect
And it won't be long till my words cause your hurtin'
You bring up something I don't remember saying
It's like I'm twistin' the knife

Please just hang on, yeah, I'm putting that work in
Leave your pride, I'll leave mine

Lord knows I need patience with ya
So I can explain this to ya
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
I just wanna love you, love you, love you good
We got issues, so what?
It's gonna be worth it when it's over
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good

Let me choose my words carefully
So you can learn we need to
Lord knows I need patience
Just wanna learn your language
Just wanna love you, so what?

It's gonna be worth it when It's over
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good
Lord knows I need patience with you
So I can explain this to you
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good
We got issues, so what?
It's gonna be worth it when it's over
I'm tryna learn your language, sugar
So I can love you, love you, love you good
