Baby, don't ya know how ya gone and got me
All messed up deep in my mind?
I'm in a permanent state of emergency
Tryna keep you satisfied

But you know damn well how to keep a man
Coming for ya day and night
You give him enough baby just to cure the jones
But not enough to show you care, yeah

So here we are again, my heart has no defense
Loving you should have been so easy
Oh yeah, loving you
But you make it the hardest thing to do, oh yeah

Baby I don't know why I act so weak (so weak)
But I know that you understand
How to play me just like a song, yeah baby (like a song, yeah)
Right before you treat me bad
'Cause you know damn well how to keep a man
Coming back time and again
You give him enough baby just to cure his jones
But not enough to show you care, oh yeah (yeah), yeah

So here we are again (oh baby), my heart has no defense
Loving you should have been so easy, oh yeah (ooh) loving you
But you make it the hardest thing to do, oh yeah

So here we are again (oh baby, yeah), my heart has no defense
Loving you should have been so easy
Oh yeah, loving you
But you make it the hardest thing to do (loving you)
Oh should have been so easy, oh yeah (loving you)

And baby, I try, yes I try so hard
Oh, but you give me just enough just to cure my jones (loving you)
Oh, yeah you give me just enough just to cure my jones (loving you)
Ooh you give me just enough just to cure my jones (loving you)
Not enough to show you care (loving you)
Cure my jones (loving you)
