Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

There you were freaking out

There you were freaking out

Tryna get your head around

Tryna get your head around

The fact that me and you and love is dead

The fact that me and you and love is dead

See how I'm tripping out

See how I'm tripping out

'Cause you can't decide

'Cause you can't decide

What you really want from me

What you really want from me

Why does it have to be like this

Why does it have to be like this

I can never tell

I can never tell

'Cause you make me love you, love you baby

'Cause you make me love you, love you baby

With a little L

With a little L

There you were shouting out

There you were shouting out

Cranking up your altercations

Cranking up your altercations

Getting upset in your desperation

Getting upset in your desperation

Screaming and hollering

Screaming and hollering

How could this love become so paper thin

How could this love become so paper thin

You're playing so hard to get

You're playing so hard to get

You're making me sweat just to hold your attention

You're making me sweat just to hold your attention

I can't give you nothing more

I can't give you nothing more

If you ain't giving nothing to me

If you ain't giving nothing to me

Don't you know that

Don't you know that

You make me love you, love you baby

You make me love you, love you baby

With a little L

With a little L

Why does it have to be like this

Why does it have to be like this

I can never tell

I can never tell

Seems like you're steppin' on the pieces

Seems like you're steppin' on the pieces

Of my broken shell

Of my broken shell

'Cause you make me love you, love you

'Cause you make me love you, love you

With a little L, you know

With a little L, you know

That's the way you make me love you, yeah

That's the way you make me love you, yeah
