[English]

Say you could turn me on

Boy, but that's about it

You can say what you wanna

But I wouldn't believe it

You could write all them songs

That's the game that you play

Tryna right all them wrongs

But you can't make me stay

'Cause I see right through you, boy

And I (I) feelin' you no more (I ain't feelin' you no more)

I ain't feelin' you no more

If you knew better

Boy, you would do better

Can't nobody love you like I do

Baby, I could do better

Boy, if you knew better

You would do better

Baby, if you love me like I love you

Maybe we could be together

'Cause ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)

Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me, ay

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me, baby

Make a mistake, you better learn from it

Play with tea, you get burned from it

My daddy always told me, "If he makes you cry

He ain't the one, you better run from him"

He used to get to me mentally

I don't - with your energy

If you knew better, you would do better

But you don't know - so I'll do better

Got a new 'do and some new shoes

Just to go with my new boo

Lovin' me like he used to

And I ain't even worried 'bout it this time

I know he gon' be the one to treat me just right (just right)

Never had a - this tight (sheesh)

So baby, this is what your soulmate look like

I look good, right?

If you knew better

Boy, you would do better (hey)

Can't nobody love you like I do

Baby, I could do better

Boy, if you knew better (boy, if you knew)

You would do better

Baby, if you love me like I love you

Maybe we could be together

'Cause ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)

Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)

Ain't nobody like me (oh, yeah)

Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me, yeah)

Ain't nobody like me (sheesh)

Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me, baby (uh-uh)

Ain't nobody like me, mm

Ain't nobody like me, me

Ain't nobody like me, ay
