[English]

Blame's on me

Told me up front, what you didn't want

I was so dumb to agree

Didn't think that it would take a toll

Lost my damn mind, 'round the same time

That I lost my self control

You got me by my heart strings now

But you're not tryin' to attach

Need unwrapped around your finger

Why's this hurt me so bad?

Guess I should known better, than to think you could change

And not run away

Why'd you leave me out in the cold?

Never made it clear, never made it right

I've been waitin' here, for at least a goodbye

Show up at my door, look me in the eye

Then if nothing more, give me one more last time

Too weak to turn you down, once you get me started

But we can't keep messin' around

Just leaves you broken hearted

Baby, please

Hold me in the dark, kiss me through the night

One more (one more), last time (last time)

You and me, been a good time

Not a long time, but it's all I'm tryin' to be (oh-whoa)

We fell into this rendezvous

Told me you're fine everytime

What do you want me to do?

Oh, what should I do?

You got me feeling so damn guilty, like I did somethin' wrong

Only laid out my intentions, wasn't leading you on

Just don't know what I could say to lessen the pain

So I run away (way)

Not tryin' to leave you out in the cold

Never made it clear, never made it right (no, I never)

I've been waitin' here, for at least a goodbye (goodbye)

Show up at my door, look me in the eye

Then if nothing more, give me one more last time

Too weak to turn you down (oh-oh), once you get me started

But we can't keep messin' around

Just leaves you broken hearted

Baby, please

Hold me in the dark, kiss me through the night

One more (one more), last time (last time)

You know, I like you, but it ain't that serious

Been straight up with you, not nefarious

Loved chasing you, Tom and Jerry-ish

Can't commit to you, I got various

Know you'd hope this turn into a thing

Something more than just another fling

Don't get me wrong bae, I love what we do

But I'm a man of many bitches, I need more than a few

I'm not hitting you up, if you gon' hit me with the "What are we?" talk

Thought you was all good, just hookin' up

But now, you come at me with them feelings you caught

I'm down to keep our situation, not the way that it was

Call you up at 2:00 a.m., 'cause I'm alone with the buzz

Matter fact, how 'bout tonight?

Let's do it again, one more, last time

Never made it clear, never made it right (I never made it right)

I've been waitin' here, for at least a goodbye (bye)

Show up at my door, look me in the eye (oh)

Then if nothing more, give me one more last time

Too weak to turn you down (oh-oh), once you get me started

But we can't keep messin' around

Just leaves you broken hearted

Baby, please

Hold me in the dark, kiss me through the night

One more (one more), last time (last time)
