Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said you want the truth, so I told you and you tripped out
When they grab the keys, now you tryna go a dip out
You been drinking Hennessy and I think that you should stay in
Baby we can work it out, girl I'm tryna stay patient
Just don't make me beg, beg
Got me on my knees, don't mind saying please
Baby I'ma beg for it
Kissed you on your neck, then you act like you just forgot
When you saw me going down and you didn't tell me to stop
Let have a conversation
Tongue tied, no you can't say shit
Real talk no bomb fakin'
I can tell what your body cravin'
Just please don't make me beg, beg
Fuck it I'ma beg, beg
Got me on my knees, don't mind saying please
Baby I'ma beg for it
Oh, please don't make me beg oh oh oh beg
Fuck it I'ma beg ooooh beg
Got me on my knees, but please
Fuck it I'ma beg for it
Every single time you tell me it's the last time
So if I let you slide, baby it's really the last time
Oh I don't wanna read your mind
I don't wanna find the truth
Telling me the same old lies
Always the same excuse
It's just no use
You said you changed, but I just want the proof
Just don't make me beg, beg
Fuck it I'ma beg, beg
Got me on my knees, don't mind saying please
Baby I'ma beg for it
Baby I'ma beg, beg
Baby I'ma beg, beg
Baby I'ma beg
Baby I'm, baby I'm beg (beg)
