Do You Really Want Me? by T.I. Lyrics
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Aye two things I know for sure
Pimpin' hard and love hurt
Trying to make love work
When you're dodging love's curse
Whoever may object
Tell them fall in love first
Used to think it was simple
Just throwin' dubs on a bird
But it's hard, giving someone your heart
Lowering your guard
And now you towing a scar
Cause someone tore it apart
You ask God and the stars why it is like this
You recall the start, it didn't begin like this
It was a bright day
Blowing the hay
Drawing the L
65 Impala
The breeze blowin' your hair
In some nice shades, riding the the subs, grabbing your rear
In my lap on the way from the club in no underwear
I remember rushin' home just knowing you was there
And now I feel alone, ain't even knowing if you care
Don't spare my feelings
You don't share my feelings
Is it as strong as it was in the beginning?
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Remember time and time again, just tryin' to make it work
We'd kiss, fuck, and break up again
Man, we're making it worse
Relationship was solid, shit was sacred at first
I did my dirt, and you thinking I'm just a fake and a flirt
I thought you said that hurtful shit you said cause you was mad at me
But slowly I realized you said it cause you ain't happy
Am I meant to grow old alone, just like my daddy?
A bullseye for bitchest throwin' they pussy at me?
I respect us too much to stand to see you sad
I'd rather let you go and find the man you never had
Arguments and "I'm sorry" that we ain't bothered to say
Just made it harder to remember why we bothered to stay
How can the good outweigh when we fight everyday
Remember I used to be the nigga who would brighten your day?
And you used to say "I miss you, wish I could've saw you today"
Now if I call you, you know all I gotta say is
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
You can catch me in the Maybach
Laid back, puffin' on the finest tree
Or chillin' with two or three chicks
That could crush a nigga's top ten picks
With ease, darlin'
Even though my pimp hand is strong
My patience is long
And I'd give it all up just to see you in them thongs
One more time, baby
One more time, darlin'
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Now let me tell you somethin'
I know I ain't your first
And you won't be my last
Understand, but still, if we gonna make this thing work
We gotta put the past in the past
And leave it there
You leave it
Do you really want me?
Cause I want you
Do you really want me, baby?
Cause I want you
Aye two things I know for sure
Pimpin' hard and love hurt
Trying to make love work
When you're dodging love's curse
Whoever may object
Tell them fall in love first
Used to think it was simple
Just throwin' dubs on a bird
But it's hard, giving someone your heart
Lowering your guard
And now you towing a scar
Cause someone tore it apart
You ask God and the stars why it is like this
You recall the start, it didn't begin like this
