Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ay, I'm not one to start no trouble, I'm not one to throw no salt
But you standin' out here cryin', I watched as that dude drove off
Assumin' that that's your man, assumin' that y'all just fought
I don't know the whole story but assumin' it wasn't your fault
[Verse 2]
Baby, since he just won't do it right, let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Baby, since he just won't do it right, let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
[Verse 3]
Let me be the one
[Verse 4]
Now I know that you don't know me but hear what I'm talkin' 'bout
'Cause when I look at you what I see is worth tryna work it out
Now I don't know him so I can't say he's a bad dude
But is he really tryin'? I think not
And all Im' sayin' is if he won't make the effort, let me give a shot
[Verse 5]
Baby, since he just won't do it right, let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Baby, since he just won't do it right, let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
[Verse 6]
Ooh, let me be what you want, let me be what he's not
Let me show you real love (Real love is all I got)
Ooh, come on in out the rain, come let me do it right
Come let me change your heart and change your life, oh
[Verse 7]
Girl, let me be the one, be the one
Girl, let me be the one, be the one
Girl, let me be the one, be the one
Girl, let me be the one, be the one
[Verse 8]
Ooh, baby, since he just won't do it right, let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Baby, since he just won't do it right, let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
[Verse 9]
Oh, let me be the one
