 He said, “Are you serious?
 I’ve tried, but
I can’t figure out
I’ve been next to you all
 night and still don’t know
                Em
what you’re about
You keep talking,
 but not much coming
           Em
out your mouth
Can’t you tell that
I want you?” I say, yeah

[Chorus]
                C
I would want myself
                     Am
Baby, please believe me
                      Em
I’ll put you through hell
                         D
just to know me, yeah-yeah
                C
So sure of yourself

[Verse]
Em
I see you eyeing me down,
but you’ll never
 know much past my name
Or how I’m running this
         D
room around and that
                        C
 I’m still half your age
Yeah, you’re l-l-looking
    Am
at me like I’m some
           Em
 sweet escape
                       D
Obvious that you want me,
 but I said

[Chorus]
                C
I would want myself
                     Am
Baby, please believe me
                      Em
I’ll put you through hell
                         D
just to know me, yeah-yeah
                C
So sure of yourself
                   Am
Baby, don’t get greedy
                     Em
That **** won’t end well
         D
Oh, end well

[Verse]
C                       Am
 He said, “I’m just curious,
                              Em
 is this for real or just an act?
Can’t tell if you love
        D
or hate me,
                          C
never met someone like that
                     Am
Drive me so so so crazy,
 did you know you got
        Em
that effect?”
                 D
I said, “lemme check”

Yeah
