Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Want me to love you in moderation?

Do I look moderate to you?

Sip it slowly and pay attention

I just have to see it through

You got me looking for validation

Pastures new

Want me to love you in moderation?

Well, who do you think you're talking to?

[Verse 2]

Then bow your head in the house of God

Little girl, who do you think you are?

You think you need it, you think you want love

You wouldn't want it if you knew what it was

[Verse 3]

Ooh

[Verse 4]

I've never made it with moderation

No, I never understood

All the feelin' was all or nothing

And I took everything I could

Can't hold it back, I can't take the tension

I'm trying to be good

Want me to love you in moderation?

Well don't you know, I wish I could

[Verse 5]

Then bow your head in the house of God

Little girl, who do you think you are?

You think you need it, you think you want love

You wouldn't want it if you knew what it was

[Verse 6]

[Verse 7]

Girl, you better learn (I just can't win)

How to hold it in (Can't hold it in)

And girl, you better learn (I just can't win)

I just can't win (Can't hold it in)

'Cause I don't see the words (I just can't win)

I don't see the words

Well, I'm still trying to figure out if it

Always, always, always has to hurt

[Verse 8]

You better learn
