Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't play around
Don't break me down, I beg
Just build me up yeah
Just give me love yeah
That's all I want
Just hear me out
Let me get it out of my head
Just build me up yeah
Just give me love yeah
That's all I want

That's all I want, but people gon play around
They use my heart as a playground
I grew cautious
Learned from my losses
I kept my head down
Now that I'm bossin'
All of my thoughts
They run with their legs now
Now they impressed now
Get the checks now
Everybody from the past tryna play fetch now
Where were you from the start of it
But now you want a part of it

Don't play around
Don't break me down, I beg
Just build me up yeah
Just give me love yeah
That's all I want
Just hear me out
Let me get it out of my head
Just build me up yeah




Just give me love yeah
That's all I want
