Love me, love me, love me, mmm
Oh, hey, boy with your hat back
Mmm, I kinda like that
If you wanna walk my way
I'ma shoot ya straight up
Show me what your made of

I don't have time
To waste on the boys that are playing the games
Or leaving the girls crying out in the rain
So tell me, baby, do you got what it takes?

If you're gonna hold me, hold me like I'm leaving
If you're gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby, if you're not, you best get to leavin'
If you're gonna love me, love me like you mean it (like you mean it)
If you're gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you're gonna say it, make me believe it
If you're gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it

Oh, hey, I've had my share of losers
Liars and users
Looking for a heart to break
So if you're like that
Well, take a step back

'Cause I don't have time
To waste on the boys that are playing the games
Or leaving the girls crying out in the rain
So tell me, baby, do you got what it takes?

If you're gonna hold me, hold me like I'm leaving
If you're gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby, if you're not, you best get to leavin'
If you're gonna love me, love me like you mean it (like you mean it)
If you're gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you're gonna say it, make me believe it
If you're gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it

If you're gonna love me, love me, love me

If you're gonna hold me, hold me like I'm leaving
If you're gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby, if you're not, you best get to leavin'
If you're gonna love me, love me, love me
If you're gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you're gonna say it, make me believe it
If you're gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it
Yeah, yeah

If you're gonna love me, love me, love me, mmm
