Can We Talk

1st verse:

I've been sitting here, boy, waiting for your explanation

Of why you're running around after all kinds of temptations

You thought you had to lie to me and push me to the side

I want you for my man but you went around and lied

You tried to sneak away from me; you think you're pretty smooth

You need to stop with all the games and just tell me the truth

You try to tell me everything is really all my fault

But, before you go any further, I think we need to talk

Chorus:

Can we talk for a minute?

Why did you have to change?

Please let's talk for a minute,

Cause you just don't act the same.

2nd verse:

I don't think you meant to get as crazy as you did

You used to have such sweetness and a lot of love to give

You listened to what I said but now you're acting wild

You're acting cold and heartless, boy, you're acting like a child

But you kept it to yourself and wouldn't let me see

If you didn't want my love then I wish you would've told me

Like a thief in the night you went and stole my heart

I really miss you boy, so at least can we talk?

Chorus

3rd verse:

Why won't you admit that you wasted all my time?

It would hurt me for a minute but it's not a major crime

I'm sure, after a while, I'll get over you

And then I'll realize that we are finally through

I wish I'd seen it sooner, but love had me gone

Anticipating all your letters and waiting by the phone

Boy, what you're doing to me is like a wound with salt

I hope I'll get over it, but first we need to talk

Chorus x2
