Baby, baby, baby don't I treat you good?
I try to give you what you need and anything you want
So tell me baby, baby why am I misunderstood?
When we're in mixed company, now you wanna front
Acting like I don't give a damn
When it's the exact opposite indeed oh
So tell me baby, baby please help me understand
These one hundred eighty degrees you turn with such ease, oh
I wanna be your lover
But I just don't understand this
I wanna uncover
Get past all your defenses
I wanna be your lover
But I just don't understand you
I wanna go further
But it seems like I can't get through
Ooo baby, baby, baby why you make livin' so hard? (hard-ar-ard)
Girl what do I have to do to get you to let down your guard, oh?
Protecting feelings in situations that aren't there oh
Trying to convince you that I, that I really care
But nothing ever seems to get through your facade
Tryna get through to you, it's like talking to a brick wall
Now all I can do is try to break through this mirage
Tryna free myself from the mess of it all
Oh, I've taken all I can
All of your abuses
Everything you say and do, oh
I'm taking a stand
I'm done with all the excuses
Of what you've put me through, baby
I wanna be your lover
But I just don't understand this
I wanna uncover
Get past all your defenses
I wanna be your lover
But I just don't understand you
I wanna go further
But it seems like I can't get through
I wanna be your lover
But I just don't understand this
I wanna uncover
Get past all your defenses
I wanna be your lover
But I just don't understand you
I wanna go further
But it seems like I can't get through
