So, take it
(take it)
I like to do things for myself
I never waste and never want
I guess some men play with some love
I never cried of broken heart
But there was something in your eyes
That make love energize
Energize
A temporary lost of passion designs
And in moment your love was mine
I was all alone and love was overdue
Heart broken, baby
Now there is a part of me that I want to give too you
Over and over
Chorus
This is for you
Chorus
(it's the most I can do)
And I want to give it too you girl

chorus
(it's so very hard on me)
It's so very hard on me
Chorus
(for you too, always keep)
And always keep this love
I beg the truth about myself
I never trusted anyone 
To give as much love in return 
At least until, you came along
But there was something in your smile
That made love energized
(energized)
A temporary lost of passion designs
And in a moment your love was mine
I was all alone and love was overdue
(heart-broken, baby)
Now there is a part of me that I want to give too you
Over and over
Chorus
(this is for you)
(it's the most I can do)
And I want to give it too you, girl
Chorus
(it's so hard on me)
It's so very hard on me
(for you to always keep)
It's so sticky, baby
Chorus
(this is for you)
(it's the most I can do)
(it's so hard on me)
(for you to always keep) 
And baby, always keep this love
I was all alone and love was overdue
(heart-broken, baby)
Now there's apart of me that I want too give too you
Over and over
Chorus
(this is for you)
(this is for you)
(this is for you)
(so hard on me)
And always keep this love
