Can We Just Talk

You know, sometimes I

You know, I think to myself and say

"With all this shit that we're going through

See, if we could just sit down and talk now

Just maybe everything will be alright

See, we've been together too long

See, communication is what we need

Let's talk about it"

Sometimes you get on my nerves, got to me

(Do this, do that)

Yeah, running her mouth with her mama and her girlfriends

(Always telling all my business) yeah-yeah

I don't wanna walk away from a good thing, I don't wanna do it

My baby been with me all through the storm and through the rain (storm and through the rain)

See, if I walk away now, I lose everything (everything, everything)

Oh girl, there go my house, my cars, the wedding ring

So baby, can we just talk?

Talk about all the things I've been doing behind your back (can we just talk?)

Yeah, when you pulled up in the rain, girl I saw him

Tell me, who was that? (Can we just talk?)

We causing each other pain, playing too many games

Why we gotta do it like that?

We steadily pushing it back, leave her pain on my hand

Baby, can we talk about it?

It's like we're running a race with the have and have not

Yeah, I'm doing the best I can (ooh, babe)

Still, he watching the fringe, watching what they got (ha)

Hey, don't worry about that

Now God knows I ain't perfect, yet I get up every morning

Get that clock and try to work it, mm

But by the end of the week, they cut my check, I swear it ain't worth it

Lord, she still there right in the back, why she do me like that?

I'm a civil man (civil man)

Yeah, somebody tell my baby that I'm pushing, giving her the best I can

But if the loving is strong, 'cause we both in the wrong

Then baby, maybe we can make it bounce back

We can, baby, your place or mine? You just name the time

Maybe we can talk about it, can we sit down and talk?

Talk about all the things I've been doing behind your back (can we just talk?)

Yeah, uh, when you pulled up in the rain, yeah, I seen him there

Tell me, who was that? (Can we just talk?)

We causing each other pain (playing too many games)

Way too many, why we gotta do it like that?

So tell me, what's on your mind? (No more creeping and lyin')

Baby, can we- (can we just talk?)

Talk about all the things I've been doing behind your back

Tell me, can we talk about it? (Can we just talk?)

Yeah, uh, when he pulled up in the rain

God, it hurt me to my core (tell me, who was that?) (Can we just talk?)

We causing each other pain (playing too many games)

Tell me, why we gotta do it like that?

When we're both in the wrong, you're steadily pushing it back

(We gotta) we need to, we gotta talk about it, oh babe

Oh, can we just talk?

Yeah, say we gotta sit down and talk

Before all of the loving is lost, I been loving you way too right

Yeah, girl, we used to have a love so strong

And we need to get it together before all the love is gone, yeah

Girl, ain't no doubt in my mind (about it, about it, about it)

Baby, can we talk about it?

Ay, let's hold onto love y'all

Real talk, I don't wanna lose you, babe (can we just talk?)

Talk about all the things I've been doing behind your back (can we just talk?)

Yeah, uh, when he pulled up in the rain

Girl, I saw him (tell me, who was that?) (Can we just talk?)

We causing each other pain (playing too many games, too many games)

Why we gotta do it like that?

We keep on pushing it back, we gotta straighten our backs

Baby, can we talk about it? Baby, can we talk?

Yeah, it's the boss
