lyrics

chorus:
girl i know you’re good for me
and i know i’m good for you
and i swear i like you 'round
cause i learn so much from you

i don’t wanna hurt you bad
i don’t wanna break your heart
i just wanna learn from love
can you help me play my part?

i’ll be honest girl it’s scary to think that you’re all mine
sometimes i wonder if we run away from love by design
but i don’t wanna hurt you bad
i don’t wanna break your heart
i just wanna learn from love
can you help me play my part, baby?

charles:
baby baby i sho do miss ya
i smile when i go through pictures
i reminisce on the times i was witcha
where the photo captures my happiness and
i hope that i see you in a couple of days
before you take off on that plane ride to spain
can’t say i appreciated you at first
but ever since i started girl it aint been the same
love the way you cook, love the way you walk,
and tho you sound funny girl i love way you talk
love the way you care, love the way you’re there
and you just being honest makes me love the way you share
got me wanting to open up to you
get a blanket and then snuggle up to you
got me wanting to tell you nothing but the truth
and embracing my feelings like it’s nothing to lose

and i ain’t even thought about a future
with anybody else but something bout you just
got me feeling different affecting my feelings and
i ain’t trying to run girl i’m all the way with it. (x2)

grant hook (with chorus):
i think you might be good for me
and i think i might be good for you
and you know that i like you ‘round
cuz of everything that we do

don’t wanna be hurt
and i don’t wanna be broken
i just want to learn from love
could you please just show me my part

… all mine?
… every time...

don’t wanna be hurt
and i don’t wanna be broken
i just want to learn from love
cuz i can’t bear us being apart

grant:
when our youth are misguided from the start
what a fool i was to think making art meant making art
oh but sweet darling what we did was no shame
oh and sweet darling i love you all the same
but i think i love the rush
of knowing i could have had you, but now it’s lost
and my god:
disembodied bits of some snow-fallen fraud
how it feels to fuck
everyone i know i should not
ever have touched
and ever how your touch
lingers in my hair
but passes with each and every passing year
that i wait…to say…
and baby baby i never call you baby do i (oh, no, no)
and baby baby will i ever quite explain why… perhaps one day i’ll try
but until then…

chorus/hook

charles (grant) bridge:
i think i like what i see (like what i see)
and you’re wearing off on me (wearing off on me)
and if i don’t say so myself (don't say so)
i think you’re good for my health (good for my)
so i don’t want it to leave (no no no no)
no i don’t want it to leave (no no no no)
no i don’t want it to leave (no no no no)
no i don’t want it to leave. (oh god no)

cuz it feels so good (feels so good)
if it should come to you (comin' from you)
and there's so many people (so many people)
who don't know what it could do (don't know what it could do)
so i don’t want it to leave (no no no no)
no i don’t want it to leave (no no no no)
no i don’t want it to leave (no no no no)
no i don’t want it to leave. (please don't ever go)
