B.o.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Hi, this Tasha you reached me at the right number but
at the wrong time you know what to do.
[B.o.B]
And so I'm thinking to myself girl I need you
Their ain't a price that you could pay to make me leave you.
I'll get you anything and everything to please you
You grab my heart and smash it down to the floor
Then you, you say you want me, then it's leave me alone.
So I'm asking myself if I did something wrong,
cause you yelling, cussing, fussing now you hanging up the phone.
I say I love you once
I say I love you twice
I'mma be outside your house
I'll stay up all night
I'm gonna play this good time, girl
to show you how I feel
ha ha ha how I feel
Why do you build me up, build me up
buttercup baby
just to let me down, (let me down)
and mess me around
then worst of all, (worst of all) you never call,
baby when you say you will, (say you will)
I love you still
I need you
I need you more than anyone, darling
you love that I have from the start
So build me up, build me up
buttercup don't break my heart.
Well...
I'm reminiscing all the things we done been through
like that time you through that brick through my window
I swear to God around that time I could'a lynched you
couple'a hours later i wanted to hug, love and kiss you
You said you can't take it no more
but you didn't walk out of that door
You say that you changed
but we fussing and fighting where ever we go
all out in public everyone watching like a reality show
Well it don't matter no more
Cause you know I can't let you go
I say I love you once
I say I love you twice
I'mma be outside your house
I'll stay up all night
I'm gonna play this good time, girl
to show you how I feel
ha ha ha how I feel
Why do you build me up, build me up
buttercup baby
just to let me down, (let me down)
and mess me around
then worst of all, (worst of all) you never call,
baby when you say you will, (say you will)
I love you still
I need you
I need you more than anyone, darling
you love that I have from the start
So build me up, build me up,
buttercup don't break my heart
All all all the fellas in the house if you not too
proud look your woman in the face and tell her right now:
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you, baby
I need you
I need you

All the ladies in the house if you not too proud won't
ya look your man in the face and tell him right now:
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you, baby
I need you
I need you
I need you
Why do you build me up, build me up
buttercup baby
just to let me down, (let me down)
and mess me around
then worst of all, (worst of all) you never call,
baby when you say you will, (say you will)
I love you still
I need you
I need you more than anyone, darling
you love that I have from the start
So build me up, build me up,
buttercup don't break my heart

I need you (ay)
