Oh, woah
Mhm, baby

It's just me and you
They couldn't see what I see in you, yeah
'Cause I believe in you
You're the only one I choose
Even though you break my heart
Even through you break my heart, baby (my heart)
I know what we are, our love's too young (oh, yeah)
Even though you break my heart, my heart
I'ma need you, I'ma need you, I'ma need you, yeah

Show me your broken heart and all your scars (oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah)
Baby I'll take, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take you as you are
I'll take you as you are, yeah
Show me your broken heart to know your flaws (oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah)
Baby I'll take, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take you as you are
I'll take you as you are, yeah

It's just you and I, ooh yeah
Just a phase in our little lie, yeah
We can sex all night, oh, woah
See the 'want to' in your eyes

But you know I'll break your heart, your heart
