Fifth Harmony (Live) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imma keep on loving you, 'cause you be the realest
All day and all night
That's why you stay by my side
I don't always do the right thing
It doesn't matter, 'cause nobody's perfect here, no.
If you leave, I can't make you stay
Where you going, where you tryna go
Where you going, where you tryna go
Baby, baby?
Where you going, where you tryna go
Where you going, where you tryna go
Baby, baby?
Sit yourself down, 'cause you know you're gonna stay
Boy, you better listen to the words I say
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
Boy, you better act like you got some sense,
'Cause you got a dime, and that's money well spent.
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
You do you all day,
Then you start pointing fingers my way
I just wished you love me, love me, baby
If you can do that then I'll do the same
We can make it work, baby
We'd be crazy if we don't try
Love and hate is such a thin line.
Where you going, where you tryna go
Where you going, where you tryna go
Baby, baby?
Where you going, where you tryna go
Where you going, where you tryna go
Baby, baby?
Sit yourself down, 'cause you know you're gonna stay
Boy, you better listen to the words I say
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
Boy, you better act like you got some sense,
'Cause you got a dime, and that's money well spent.
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
If you're waiting for me,
You gon' be waiting all night
If you're gonna play games, you're gonna lose
You'll be sorry if you say goodbye
Yeah, I still want you, but I don't need you
You should be happy I'm still here for you.
I don't have to be, you must be blind if you can't see.
Where you going, where you tryna go
Where you going, where you tryna go
Baby, baby?
Where you going, where you tryna go
Where you going, where you tryna go
Baby, baby?
Sit yourself down, 'cause you know you're gonna stay
Boy, you better listen to the words I say
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
Boy, you better act like you got some sense,
'Cause you got a dime, and that's money well spent.
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
Sit yourself down, cause you know you're gonna stay
Boy, you better listen to the words I say
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
Boy, you better act like you got some sense,
'Cause you got a dime, and that's money well spent.
You ain't going nowhere.
You ain't going nowhere.
