Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you
You don't need me to show the way, love
Why do I always have to say, love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you,
It's so hard to reason with you
Woah yeah, why do you make me blue?
Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you
Woah yeah, like I please you
Woah yeah, like I please you
