[English]

All I ever wanted was your love

Maybe I was asking for too much

I'm so done tyina be more than enough

More than just your man

You have lost your best friend

Yeah,you had too many chances

Why'd you take this love for granted?

I don't even understand

Why you got to be so stubborn?

Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn?

For nothing, nothing

Stubborn, stubborn

It hurts to see you hurt

But you had to let it burn

Over nothing

Tell me why are you so

All I ever wanted was your time, time

I was happy you were mine

You should've learn to swallow up your pride

More than just your man

You have lost your best friend

Yeah, you had way too many chances

Why'd you take this love for granted?

I don't even understand

Why you got to be so stubborn?

Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn?

For nothing, nothing

Stubborn, stubborn

It hurts to see you hurt

But you had to let it burn

Over nothing

Tell me why are you so

It hurts yo see you hurt

But you had to let it burn

Over nothing

Tell me why are you so
