I don't wanna go there
We should never go there
Why you wanna go there
I guess I gotta go there
You're hearing rumors about me
And you can't stomach the thought
Of someone touching my body
When you so close to my heart
I won't deny what they saying
Because most of it is true
But it was all before I fell for you

So please babe
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
'Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul , let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul , let it be beautiful

Everything I say right now
Is gonna be use in another fight
And I've been through this so many times
Can we change the subject
You gonna start asking me questions like:
"Was she attractive, was she an actress ?"
Baby the fact is, you're hearing rumours about me
And saw some pictures online
Saying things, they got you so angry
Making you wish you were mine
Before we start talking crazy
Saying some things we'll regret
Can we just slow it down and press reset

You're beautiful
So babe
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
'Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful

Just let the past
Just be the past
And focus on things
That are gonna make us laugh
Take me as I am, not who I was
I'll promise I'll be, the one that you can trust

So please
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
'Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul , let it be
Let it be beautifu-u-ul , aye let it be beautiful, yeah yeah yeah

I don't wanna go there baby
We should never go there
