You see the hate that they're servin' on a platter,
C#m

[Verse]
A B E
I never thought I'd be in love like this
A B C#m
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
A B E
Then you came in, and knocked me on my face
A B C#m
Feels like I'm in a race, but I already won first place
A B E
I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did
(As hard as I did, yeah)
A B C#m
You got me thinkin' 'bout our life our house and kids, yeah
A B E
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
A B
'Cause boy you came around

and you knocked me down, knocked me down

Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around love comes around)

And it knocks you down just get back up

Ya'll gon' head, I think I'm gonna kick it
C#m

my pimp ship flyin' high (flyin' high)
A
Til I met this pretty little missile

Tell me now can you make it past
E
your caspers so we can finally fly off into NASA
A B
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams
C#m

A B
And I was the class clown that, always kept you laughin'
E
We were never meant to be baby we just happen
A B
So please, don't mess up the trick,
C#m
hey young world, I'm the new Slick Rick
A
They say I move too quick,
B
but we can't let this moment pass us
E
Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
A B
Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses
C#m
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
A
How could a goddess ask,
B E
someone that's only average for advice,
OMG, you listen to that bitch?
A B
Whoa, it's me, baby this is tragic
C#m
'cause we had it, we was magic
A B
I was flyin', now I'm crashin',
E
this is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
A B
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson,
C#m
you should leave your boyfriend now,
I'mma ask him
[Verse 4]
A
So you gotta take the good,
B
the bad, happy and the sad
E
Or will you bring the better future then I had in the past
A B
'Cause I don't want to make the same mistakes I did
C#m
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
A B E
Woah, woah, I'll admit it,
I was scared to answer loves call
A B C#m
Woah, woah, and if it hits,
better make it worth the fall (when it comes around)
[Kembali ke Chorus]

Won’t see it coming when it happens
E
But when it happens, you’re gonna feel it,
A
let me tell you now
B C#m
You see when love comes knocks you down
A B
Won’t see it coming when it happens
E
But when it happens you’re gonna feel it,
A
let me tell you now
B C#m
You see when love knocks you down
