I told her if she takes too much
She'll end up like the rest of us
And she's lying to my face now
I told her baby take it slow
But she knows all the guys I know
And I'm jealous of her know-how
And hey baby would you mind if I
Take a second just to quantify my love
Cause I know how you feel
How you feel.
And hey baby would you run it by me
You're the one who should be close beside me
'Cause I know how you feel
I know how you feel
The way that you light it
You got that from me
Cause you didn't earn that
It's never for free
I left it all behind.
I left it all behind me
I know that you saw me
Acting a fool
And you should have known
It wasn't for you
I left it all behind.
I left it all behind me
I told her not to lose control
I paid the price for letting go
I'm preaching but I know now
I was only looking out for you
I know just what you're going through
And you need it to be told now
