Let me choose my words real carefully

Don't let me be misunderstood, no

'Cause I don't wanna say something I don't really mean

I just wanna love you, love you, love you, love you real good

They always say, "Don't go to bed angry"

So it's been days since I got some sleep, babe

I say, "I miss you", you take it as I'm tryna guilt you

Like I'm insecure

This quiet game ain't working out for me

Leave your pride, I'll leave mine

Lord knows I need patience with ya

So I can explain this to ya

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

I just wanna love you, love you, love you good

We got issues, so what?

It's gonna be worth it when it's over

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

So I can love you, love you, love you good

Don't hear me wrong, I know I ain't perfect

And it won't be long till my words cause your hurtin'

You bring up something I don't remember saying

It's like I'm twistin' the knife

Please just hang on, yeah, I'm putting that work in

Leave your pride, I'll leave mine

Lord knows I need patience with ya

So I can explain this to ya

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

I just wanna love you, love you, love you good

We got issues, so what?

It's gonna be worth it when it's over

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

So I can love you, love you, love you good

Let me choose my words carefully

So you can learn we need to

Lord knows I need patience

Just wanna learn your language

Just wanna learn your, so what?

It's gonna be worth it when It's over

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

So I can love you, love you, love you good

Lord knows I need patience with you

So I can explain this to you

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

So I can love you, love you, love you good

We got issues, so what?

It's gonna be worth it when it's over

I'm tryna learn your language, sugar

So I can love you, love you, love you good
