All the lovers that I got stay steamin' in the pot I been cookin' like Joycetta My love's got a long shelf life Finna be leftovers in the oven Bring a Tupperware when you come over Yeah, I make a lotta food, but this recipe, it's meant for you Yeah, it's only you, you say I spread myself too thin Maybe my love's too diluted Yeah, I get jealous when she sees you naked Guess I can dish it out, but I can't take it My jealousy is teachin' me the empty cups that need filling My jealousy is teachin' me my needs Won't you stay with me? I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are Won't you reach for me? Don't lie to yourself, babe, if it's too far I still think about The family we almost made Vacations we ain't take I know it hurts that I didn't stay I understand if you can't forgive me I still keep the flame on with the lid I still keep your name warm on my lips You hate to hear me say it, but I hope we can be friends You wouldn't feel so anxious I wouldn't be so strained I'd be the best to you that way It's not the end for us, I pray My jealousy is teachin' me the empty cups that need filling My jealousy is teachin' me my needs Won't you stay with me? (Oh) I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are Won't you reach for me? (Oh) Don't lie to yourself, babe, if it's too far Won't you stay with me?
