Girl, my heart's aching
I know I had your love once before and I can't fake it
But that was so long ago, at a time when I
didn't know right from wrong, And I had so much going on
Didn't give you a space in my heart that felt like you belonged

So baby, I know that I wasn't always the greatest man to you
But maybe, you can give me a chance to show you all the changes I went through

I used to have your heart, and access to your soul
Everything you had belonged to me
But I was young and I was stupid I was thinking' bout myself
So I ducked and let my heart run free

I should've treated you right, girl, I know, so imma get down on my knees
All for the chance to show you
That this time you gon' get the real me, the real me

Look, baby, this time we can skip right pasa all the games and the gimmicks
I ain't playin' Cause I got rid of all the parts of me that
were decayin' ,I'm prayin' for you every night
For you to be the one who stays by my side
I need you, I need you in my life

I used to have your heart and access to your soul
Everything you had belonged to me
But I was young and I was stupid
I was thinkin' bout myself so I ducked and let my heart run free
I should've treated you right, girl, I know so imma get down on my knees

All for the chance to show you that this time you gon' get the real me, the real me
