How to Love

You had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out

How to love, how to love, mm

You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever

Now you in a corner trying put it together

How to love, how to love

For a second you were here, now you over there

It's hard not to stare at the way you're moving your body

Like you never had a love, never had a love

When you was just a young'un, your looks were so precious

But now you're grown up, so fly, it's like a blessing

But you can't have a man look at you for five seconds

Without you being insecure

You never credit yourself, so when you got older

It seems like you came back ten times over

Now you're sitting here in this damn corner

Looking through all your thoughts

And looking over your shoulder

See you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out

How to love, how to love, mm

You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever

Now you in this corner tryning put it together

How to love, how to love

For a second you were here, now you over there

It's hard not to stare at the way you're moving your body

Like you never had a love, never had a love

You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions

The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions

But it wasn't your fault, wasn't in your intentions

To be the one here talking to me, be the one listening

But I admire your poppin' bottles and dippin'

Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping

Baby, so don't be mad, nobody else trippin'

You see a lot of crooks, and crooks still crook

See you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out

How to love, how to love

You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever

Now you in this corner tryna put it together

How to love, how to love

See, I just want you to know that you deserve the best

You're beautiful, you're beautiful

Yeah, and I just want you to know

You're far from the usual, far from the usual
