I'm asking you one more time
Alright
Jay
From da top
Girl I just wanna work it out
I'm in love with you no doubt
And I hate to see you down
So I'm asking can we

Get it together
Get it together
Get it together
We can work it out I just want you by my side
Yeah
But, I really need to know is can we get it together
Get it together
Desperate for love not falling in love again
(I'm not)
I tell her it's troubling
No looking back on all of the shit that I said
It had gone to your head
You keep calling me everything but, my government
(Like I hate that shit)
And then on some other shit
Thought what we had was special I tell her that may have been true
But, we been on some other shit
You say you don't care well I'm really just loving it
You say that you ain't been with that nigga
You say he your family oh yeah
On some brother shit
I see the pot
This shit heating up this shit is bubbling
I guess I got to go harder and double it
I had to turn up and get back that other shit
What are we talking about anymore
I don't even know anymore so
Girl I just wanna work it out
I'm in love with you no doubt
And I hate to see you down
So I'm asking can we
Get it together
Get it together
Get it together
We can work it out I just want you by my side
Yeah
But, I really need to know is can we get it together
Get it together
Oh yeah
You acting real light skin on this one right here
Can we get it together
Shit nigga I knew your were light skin
But, I thought you was Chris brown light skin
I guess your like Jordan Poole light skin
Shit you keep this shit up I'm a turn to Draymond
I am not honest now with none of my women
None of them
Saying some things to make me feel different
Lhey was the one but, something was missing (she was)
Known too go ghost it's something I do
So many choices don't know what to do
I'm Stuck in between don't know how to move (don't know)
We never had worked so I go through the pain
Spinning again there's nothing to gain (nothing to gain)
Even when I'm am too win I still feel like I am to lose
Damaged and bruised
My trust is misused
But, I can't even lie
I'm used to this I just go through it happens like all of the time
I was careless and blind
I thought I was fine
Till I'm taking a look of the people around they finally look happy
I know that I said I'm not lookin for love
But, I want it with you
I want it with you
I did

Can we get it together
Can we get it together
