[English]

I'm cryin', 'cause I love you

(Yeah yeah yeah)

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Never been in love before

What the fuck are fuckin' feelings yo?

Once upon a time I was a hoe

I don't even wanna hoe no more

Got you somethin' from the liquor store

Little bit of Lizzo and some more

Tryin' to open up a little more

Sorry if my heart a little slow

I thought that I didn't care

I thought I was love impaired

But baby, baby

I don't know what I'm gon' do

I'm cryin', 'cause I love you

Yes you

(Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Got me standin' in the rain

Gotta get my hair pressed again

I would do it for your all my friend

Ready baby? Will you be my man?

Wanna put you on a plane

Fly you out to wherever I am

Kept you on the low, I was ashamed

Now I'm crazy 'bout to tat your name

I thought that I didn't care

I thought I was love impaired

But baby, baby

I don't know what I'm gon' do

I'm cryin', 'cause I love you

Yeah, I'm cryin', hey!

Thought that I didn't care

I thought I was love impaired

But baby, baby

I don't know what I'm gon' do

I'm cryin', 'cause I love you

Oh, yes you

I'm cryin', I'm cryin'

I'm cryin'

I'm cryin', 'cause I love you
