Come on, babe
A
Don't you wanna be strong with me?
You told me we could have a family
Wanna run to mama when you're down and low
But times get tough, and there you go
Ooh, out the door, you wanna run again
Open the arms and you'll come back in
Wanna run 'cause you say that you were afraid, afraid, oh
A
Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to really love
You can't be what I need you to
And I don't know why I fuck with you
A
I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand these growing pains
