The last time that I saw someone that I want
Was the first time I saw you
The first thing that I thought was that my last thought
It would be of you

I don't wanna stay here longer than I need to
I don't wanna wait for love
I ain't got the patience, only anticipation
Don't think I can make it, love

But I can, but I can, but I can
But I can, but I can, but I can if it's for you
(If it's for you)
But I can, but I can, but I can
But I can, but I can, but I can if it's for you
(If it's for you)

I always thought it was dumb
That a fool falls in love, once and for always
Then darling, there you would come
Stole my heart out on the run, once and for always

I don't wanna stay here longer than I need to
I ain't tryna wait for love
I ain't got the patience, only anticipation
Don't think I can make it, love

But I can, but I can, but I can
But I can, but I can, but I can if it's for you
(If it's for you)
But I can, but I can, but I can
But I can, but I can, but I can if it's for you
(If it's for you)

The bullet, oh, you shot it
Ain't no trying to stop it
I'm gonna let it pass on through
(If it's for you)
Hold on if you got it
Ain't no trying to top it
Let love make a fool of you

But I can, but I can, but I can
If it's for you

I can if it's for you
But I can, but I can, but I can if it's for you (I can if it's for you)
(If it's for you, if it's for you)
But I can, but I can, but I can (I can)
But I can, but I can, but I can if it's for you
(If it's for you)

The last time that I saw someone that I want
Was the first time I saw you
