Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm

We can make it work

(Yo, Kiwi, thank you, bro) oh-ah, love hurts, love hurts

I know you feedin' off of what I started first

I see you postin', that just put me on alert

We can make it work, we can make it work

Love hurts, love hurts, love hurts

The way I'm feelin', I might get that nigga murked

Like how you gon' forget me? You was with me in the dirt

It might just take some time, I know that we can make it work

Baby, try it first (love hurts, love hurts, love hurts)

You somethin' different from the rest, that's why I fuck with you

Just know it's hard for me expressin' all my love for you (all my love)

Kissin' you, touchin' you, way more than me fuckin' you

Don't nobody know me like you do, you make me comfortable

I tell you everything (everything), where I been, who I'm with, no lies to you

Fuck these other bitches, I don't wanna keep my eyes on you

Wish I could give you everything, anything, anything

Put that on my mama, all I want for you is better things

You got my number, call my phone, I ain't gon' let it ring

If I could trust you, but my style would be in better team

Girl, you know I'm with you, hundred grand, try to understand

I'm a busy man (but baby girl, I thought we had a plan)

I know you feedin' off of what I started first

I see you postin', that just put me on alert

We can make it work, we can make it work

Love hurts, love hurts, love hurts

The way I'm feelin', I might get that nigga murked

How you gon' forget me? You was with me in the dirt

It might just take some time, I know that we can make it work

Baby, try it first (love hurts, love hurts, love hurts)

I know that love hurt, I fuck on 'em, pull up first

That's whenever you need me

I had my best fit on, racks in them denim jeans whenever you see me

Not like your ex nigga, I be mad when you text niggas

'Cause them niggas wanna be me

And I don't fuck with none of these hoes

'Cause they rub me wrong, baby, just like a Genie

I pick you up in the two-door, baby, I took the roof off

And you don't even know it hurt me now that you gone

I ain't tryna be your main nigga (main nigga)

Thug, I'm a gravedigger (gravedigger)

I just wish I'd known all this shit came with you

Can't help the painkillers (painkillers)

My main niggas (my main niggas)

It was only right or wrong, put you in a song, thought that you was okay

Then you just left me 'lone, on my own, why won't you pick up the phone?

I know that love hurts, but you left when I had need you most

I had to see you ghost, don't need no more

Have me feeling like I can't breathe no more

I seen you post some pics and I unfollowed you

I couldn't see no more (see no more)

Yeah, I couldn't need no more

I know you feedin' off of what I started first

I see you postin', that just put me on alert

We can make it work, we can make it work

Love hurts, love hurts, love hurts

The way I'm feelin', I might get that nigga murked

Like how you gon' forget me? You was with me in the dirt

It might just take some time, I know that we can make it work

Baby, try it first (love hurts, love hurts, love hurts)

Hurts

Love hurts, love hurts, love hurts

Love hurts, love hurts, love hurts

Try it for a day, we can make things work

Try it for a day, we can make things work
