You know it's been a while, baby
You know you been looking fine lately
Runnin' through my mind all day, yeah
Memories fading, mmm
I know you've been moving too cautious
Blame it on me, I'm honest
I ain't really tryna cut corners
Way you throw it back, it remind me of
All them other times that we never made up
Know I fucked around, I just want your love

Shorty wanna change, change
Change, yeah, yeah, Mmm
Shorty wanna change, change, change, I know

Mmm, she don't want the same thing
Cut deep, hit a nerve, now she nursin'
Long nights, hit the road, now I'm swervin'
