[English]

Yeah, yeah

I can't keep on losing you

Over complications

Gone too soon

Wait, we was just hangin'

I can't seem to hold onto, dang

The people that know me best

The key that I won't forget, too soon

I can't keep on losing you

...

I can't keep on losing you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many mistakes do it take 'til you leave?

When I'm left with my hand and my face all red

In the face looking at you like (wait)

I know I ain't a saint, if it ain't too late, well

(I can't keep on losing you)

Don't run away so fast

Know my heart like gold, but it break like glass

Know my shit get old and I act so young

Baby, you so cold, never have no sun

You don't wanna grow up, you're the shit, no fun

So when I get home, I'ma give you some

Make you feel like woo, when I hit that drum

Yeah, the dick ain't free, I don't give no fucks

Yeah, it's complicated, got you frustrated

Get home late and you don't trust me, baby

Way too drunk, you don't know what I'm saying

You can drive my car, don't drive me crazy

Complicated, got you frustrated

Every single night, I keep you waiting

You say you don't care, is what you saying

We both know that's some bullshit

Okay, we be fighting, we be reuniting

Kiss me, touch me, tease me, me excited

God, the devil, who is who?

Tryna get through to you because

I can't keep on losing you

Over complications

Gone too soon

Wait, we was just hangin'

I can't seem to hold onto, dang

The people that know me best

The key that I won't forget, too soon

I can't keep on losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Well, you can't go away, girl, I'ma need you

Play your games like they my ticket to an Ivy League school

Won't get Hall of Fame dick from a Minor League dude

I just eat pussy, other people need food

Only got a little time, and I ain't tryna spend it

Arguing about who ain't giving who attention

Starting up the engine, need to reboot

I just eat pussy, other people need food

And I used every bone in my body

Keep on holding on to your trust

I know you don't want nothin' to do with me

But just one more time, let's make love

One more time, it ain't much

Fuck 'em all, let's be us, summer's soft sweetness

Call late, drunk, you hang up

What a mess I made up, sense, I make none

It's complicated, keeping me up late

Can't concentrate, you're always on my brain

If it's love then why the fuck it come with pain?

I just think that's some bullshit

Okay, it seem inviting, trust me, she's a titan

This week she like him, next week they fightin'

Need protection, all your dresses bulletproof

You're safe with me, girl

I can't keep on losing you

Where the hell you going?

Where you taking this trip to? (Wait)

Don't move, don't play, too

I can't keep on losing you

Where the hell you going?

Wait

Where the hell you going?

I can't keep on losing you

Over complications

Gone too soon

Wait, we was just hangin'

I can't seem to hold onto, dang

The people that know me best

The key that I won't forget, too soon

I can't keep on losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you

Can't keep losing you
