[English]

Said, "Patience ain't no virtue with you"

I done wasted plenty time pacin' around, hate this coupe

You with bitches on the side and let my mind wander too

You relentless, nigga, I don't need rent, nigga

Text me like I'm waiting for you to come lie to me

Ruin my day saying shit to hurt me, I can't compete

Still on the way, I lay awake if you're not around me

I'm so on to you, still gone for you

Needing you to talk to me in your love language

Show me, yeah, how to connect to you

Help me understand

How you speak your love language

Bad as I wanna be yours, I can't get with your program

Sex hittin' like a slow jam, stick around 'cause I want to

Bad as I wanna keep focused, you remind me I'm imperfect

And it sucks to admit

Nobody put that purpose in me like you do, still

Nobody get that work up out me like you do

Nobody get the truth up out me quite like you

You the definition of my right hand

Never mind riding backseat when you lead me

Talk to me in your love language

Show me, yeah, how to connect to you

Help me understand

How you speak your love language

Call me like you can't suppress memories of me

Call me like you got confessions queued up like your last bitch looking chewed up, baby

Call me like you don't regret missing this old thing back

Call me when you know the difference between me and chickens

You don't wanna be, be without me

You don't wanna live

I don't wanna go, no, ooh-oh

I don't wanna be alone, oh

All that I know is mirrors inside me

They recognize you

Please, don't deny me
