But it don?t matter no
Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don?t matter no
Cause I got you babe
Cause we gon? fight
Oh yes we gon? fight

Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don?t matter no
Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we?d last forever
I feel I?m hopin? and prayin?
Things between us don?t get better
Men steady comin? after you
Women steady comin? after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don?t wanna respect boundaries
Tellin? you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I?ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied
