Because I Love You


 

You can’t go out tonight,

Go change your clothes.

You can’t talk to her again,

Now give me your phone.

 

Baby, I’m only trying to protect you.

It’s only because I love you.

 

Stay away from those “guy friends” of yours.

Don’t eat that, you know you’re already fat.

Are you really going to go out

With your hair looking like that?

 

You know I’m only doing

What’s best for you.

Yeah, I’m a little hard on you,

But it’s just because I love you.

 

Come over right now.

I don’t care if you don’t

Want to do it just yet.

Get in that damn bed.

 

See, I’m showing you what it’s like to be loved.

See, I told you it’s only me who could love you.

Baby, you can’t ever leave me.

Because I love you.
