[Verse 1]

Tell me whatcha say now

Tell me whatcha say?

Come again?

If you cannot stay down

Then you do not have to pretend

Like there is no way out

I shoulda never let you in

'Cause you got me face down

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And don't take this personal

But you're the worst

You know what you've done to me

And although it hurts, I know

I just can't keep runnin' away

(I can't keep runnin' away

I can't keep runnin' away

I can't keep runnin' away)

[Chorus]

I don't need you, I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you

But I want you

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

But I love you

[Verse 2]

Tell me whatcha say now

Tell me whatcha say?

You said that you would come again

You said that we would remain friends but

You know that I do not depend on

Nothing or no one

So why would you show up?

So uninvited then

Just change my mind like that

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Please don't take this personal

But you ain't shit

And you weren't special

'Til I made you so

You better act like you know

That I've been through worse than you

I just can't keep runnin' away

(I can't keep runnin' away

I can't keep runnin' away

I can't keep runnin' away)

[Chorus]

(But I don't need you)

I don't need you, I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you

(But I) But I want you

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

But I love you (It's lost in hope, aye-aye)

[Verse 3]

Everybody's like "He's no item"

"Please don't like him"

"He don't wife 'em"

"He one nights 'em"

I never listen, no

I should have figured though

All that shit you was spittin', so unoriginal

But it was you, so I was with it

Then tell you the truth, wish we never did it

'Cause I usually do stick to the business

But you came out the blue and then you just flipped it

(God damn) God damn, baby, my mind's blown

Be forgettin' you live in a different time zone

I think I know what this is

It's just the time's wrong

And, yeah, I know what you did

But, baby, I'm grown

And my love is patient

And kind of shit

If this is real we can build

Through different types of shit

If you was really the realest

Wouldn't be fightin' it

I think your pride is just

[Bridge]

In the way

Funny how everything changed

Once you got all that you wanted

Nothing was ever the same

[Outro]

And though I don't need you, I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you

I still want you (Oh)

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

But I, but I love you

I don't need you, I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you

But I want you

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

I don't mean to, I don't mean to

But I love you
