[English]

I was wondering, maybe could I make you my baby?

If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy?

If you ask me, I'm ready

If you ask me, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm rea-

'Cause you already know it's coincidental

That he loves your body and mind the way I do

The secrets you told me, were they confidential

Or do you let anyone inside your mind?

I bet you ain't told him the things that we been through

I know you're not flossing your wrist like you been doin'

The fact that I actually started to trust you

Then you broke my heart, someone bring me a tissue

Or maybe my notebook, I'll sharpen my pencil

To write you a letter and show you I'm into you

Still down forever, even if it's pleasure

Go ahead, sign your name on the package I sent you

Open it up and when you get to cheesin'

And I hope you believe in the end that I got you

How can I move forward when every relationship I get in

Don't hit the same 'cause it's not you?

So please don't fall in love with me

Don't fall in love with me

Don't fall in love with me

Don't fall in love with me

So please don't fall in love with me (don't fall)

Don't fall in love with me (don't fall)

Don't fall in love with me (don't fall, don't fall)

Don't fall in love with me

You still use that Versace bag that I bought you

Look back at the pics of vacations I brought you on

He can't even match it, he's not in my bracket

You settle for less with him, with me, I put you on

It doesn't look good on you, way too appealin'

To go through experiences that he's been givin' you

'Cause you see on this side I'll drape you in fire

Bundles of rose lined up to the ceiling

I'm so good without you, it's clear that I'm healin'

But that doesn't change that the way I've been feelin'

Is clouding my judgement, I act like it's nothin'

But really I'm sufferin', I'm way too forgivin'

I saw your new man, and he looks like a joke

It's been a while since the both of us spoke

I can't help but think that my life would be better

If we never met, but that's not how it goes

So please don't fall in love with me (you can't fall for me)

Don't fall in love with me (you can't fall for me)

Don't fall in love with me (do not fall)

Don't fall in love with me (don't fall)

So please don't fall in love with me (don't fall)

Don't fall in love with me (don't fall)

Don't fall in love with me (don't fall, don't fall)

Don't fall in love with me
