Lyrics:
Let me choose my words real carefully
Don’t let me be misunderstood
Cause I don’t wanna say something I don’t really mean
I just wanna 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, oh
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
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, suga
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 you hurtin’
You bring up something I don’t remember saying
It’s like I’m twisting the knife
Please just hang on, I’m putting that work in
Leave your pride, I’ll leave mine

Let me choose my words carefully
So you can learn me too

Lord knows I need patience
Just wanna learn your language
Just wanna love you
