How did it get to be this way?
You and i fussin' and fightin' almost everyday
Where the sun used to shine, now it rains
The look in your eyes only reminds me of the pain between us
Baby, what happend to all the affection?
The love and connection we used to share
Brighter days, they seem so far away
Sometimes, i just wanna give up
My love, if you want it back
I'll be willing to stay out the clubs ballin'
If you want it back
Change my number, keep them other guys from callin'
If you want it back
Boy, i'll do it right now, no more stallin'
'cuz i want it back, so tell me.....
**Can we, can we start all over again?
Been through too much to let it go
I need you, my lover, my friend
Baby, let's not fight no more
You know inside, we were meant to spend forever
Nothing can stop us as long as we're together, hold on
Give us another chance, i need to know
Can we start over again?
Would be so easy to just turn and walk away
to charge it to the game and look to another day
But damn it, something just keeps pulling me in
Boy, deep down inside you know this isn't the end between us
Baby, if you hold on to me, you'll see
We can make things right, if you help me fight
I could be wrong but i'll take that chance
'cuz i think it's worth it, you know it's worth it
Baby, take me back
If without me, you just can't sleep
Just take me back
If you wake up at night, reachin' for me
Baby, take me back
If leaving brings uncertainty
Boy, just take me back
**
Boy, there's no other way i can put it to you
'cuz i need you right here with me
Anything to keep this love together, i'll do
but first you gotta work with me
We both made mistakes, along the way the breaks
I'll take the blame from my part and that's a start
but it takes two
Tell me.. are you willing to do the same in return
Please, don't let it burn
