D. Tucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Ohhh
Woah
How can I love you
How can I love you
How can I love you
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
How can I love you when you don't want me, baby
How can I love you when you love so damn lazy
How can I love you when I'm the only one trying
I cannot love you no more, baby, girl, I feel like dying
Look, I just wanna know
Look, I just wanna know
How can I love you
How can I love you
I gave you everything and I got nothing from you
I wanna love you, but you making it so hard
You said you love me, but your love, it feels so goddamn far
I need to get up, cause I think it's time for me to go
Looked you up in your eyes and I don't see the love no more
You say I'm distant and you say I never come around
You know I'm working and you know that I be out of town
I gave you love, but girl, just tell me what you gave me
You said you love me, but it's feeling like you hate me
I see you messing with this nigga, guess you played me
And now you mad at him because you know he ain't me
Comparing that nigga to me, knowing he can't compete
I know that since I left, your life been feeling incomplete
You got him sucking toes when my sister done did your feet
How can I love you when you only wanna play with me
Look, I just wanna know
I just wanna know
How can I love you
How can I love you
How can I love you
How can I love you when you don't want me, baby
How can I love you when you love so damn lazy
How can I love you when I'm the only one trying
I cannot love you no more, baby girl, I feel like dying
Look, I just wanna know
Look, I just wanna know
How can I love you




How can I love you
I gave you everything and I got nothing from you
