Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know much
Much about us
But i'm feeling you and this time come like i'm stuck
Is it me
Or am i just fucked
Can i keep this up or would i mess it all up
I love him bad never wanna let him go
Never never wanna be letting go
She's the first lady but i never show
I love her up but i never let her know
He spends his time with me
But I could be blind can't see
I can't be sure if she's
Taking me in let's see
Let's stop the childish game
Listen I don't play games that's fake
We should stop wasting time
Check this I don't have time to waste
I told you from the jump i'm here
But how many girls have you told I'm scared
I'm done with the roads it's clear
That's all I wanted to hear
It's okay not to trust this thing that they call love
Even I understand that we just wasn't part of your plans
We'll take our time, i'm your ride or die
And if it wasn't already clear I always need you near
Is it just lust or are we all fucked
All i need to know is
I love him bad never wanna let him go
Never never wanna be letting go
She's the first lady but i never show
I love her up but i never let her know
He spends his time with me
But I could be blind can't see
I can't be sure if she's
Taking me in let's see
Let's stop the childish game
Listen I don't play games that's fake
We should stop wasting time
Check this I don't have time to waste
I told you from the jump i'm here
But how many girls have you told I'm scared
I'm done with the roads it's clear
That's all I wanted to hear
No trust aint what I'm thinking bout
Party life got me tripping out
That life our life in and out
All gone if we do settle now
Lean on lean on me
If you need better from me
And you wanna stick it on me
When you put the pressure on me
Cause I won't have you leaving so
I'll give it all up
They be calling this love
No more talk about lust
I love him bad never wanna let him go
Never never wanna be letting go
She's the first lady but i never show
I love her up but i never let her know
He spends his time with me
But I could be blind can't see
I can't be sure if she's
Taking me in let's see
Let's stop the childish game
Listen I don't play games that's fake
We should stop wasting time
Check this I don't have time to waste
I told you from the jump i'm here
But how many girls have you told I'm scared
I'm done with the roads it's clear
That's all I wanted to hear
I love him bad never wanna let him go
Never never wanna be letting go
She's the first lady but i never show
I love her up but i never let her know
He spends his time with me
But I could be blind can't see
I can't be sure if she's
Taking me in let's see
Let's stop the childish game
Listen I don't play games that's fake
We should stop wasting time
Check this I don't have time to waste
I told you from the jump i'm here
But how many girls have you told I'm scared




I'm done with the roads it's clear
That's all I wanted to hear
