[English]

Now, here we go, no reason again

Still it's no place I'd rather be in the end

But, right here I stare in yo' bright eyes

Going back and forth like Aaliyah (uh)

Saying different things knowing we lie

There's no limit to the sky, long as we fly

Together

Forever

I will never

Never let you go (no)

Seem like soon as we say that

We at war, surrender

It's something we don't know

It's something between us

Certain fire in our love

It's un-releasable (un-releasable)

Unbelievable

We're miserable apart

But together it's so hard

All I need to know (I need to know)

Oh, all I need to know (I need to know)

How could my ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend?

My ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend

How could my ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend?

I need to know

Mmm, every time we break up

We turn around and we make up

Momma wonder when I'm gonna wake up

But he love my face with no makeup

And every time I call him

We end up having a problem

And I know we'll probably never solve it

But damn I really love him

It's something between us

Certain fire in our love

It's un-releasable (un-releasable)

Unbelievable (yeah)

We're miserable apart

But together it's so hard

All I need to know (I need to know)

Oh, all I need to know (I need to know)

How could my ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend?

My ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend

How could my ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend?

I need to know

Uh, I

Won't leave two feet to the asphalt

Don't I get you everything you ask for?

Might say tonight was the last straw

But in the morning I be sippin' from your glass jar

One fix fix everything black hammer

Never been a pimp or a back hander

Know you been around the block, hear the bad grammar

And don't matter, we'll make it through the madness

How could my ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend?

My ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend

How could my ex-boyfriend be my next boyfriend?

I need to know (I need to know)
