I know that I got my issues but you got your issues too
Hate to know I'd miss you if I were to cut you lose
I need your validation and you use that to keep me on lock
Sometimes I dream of freedom but we both know we'll never stop

Don't

Don't love me hard, love me gentle (love me gentle)
Don't love me hard, love me special (love me special)
Oh, I wish you cared for my mental
And loved me gentle, gentle

Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle

I'm always tryna please ya no matter what the cost
Break myself into pieces, tally up the love and lost
Truth is you're reason why I put up with the sleepless nights
I believe that you could when you try, that's why I'm hoping you

Don't

Don't love me hard, love me gentle (love me gentle)
Don't love me hard, love me special (love me special)
Oh, I wish you cared for my mental
And loved me gentle, gentle

Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle

Can't you be good to me?
'Cause I've been so good to you, I
Can't you be good to me?
'Cause I've been so good to you, I
