Lyrics

Don't Know How

[Chorus]

I wish that I could love you

But I don't know how to love you

There's no one here to blame

So you can charge it to the game

But I really wanna love you

But I don't know how to love you

[Verse 1]

I was tryna be the different one

That will give you the kind of love that a woman wants

It's so unusual for me to feel this way

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I like to play the field

Baby, this is what it is

I'm caught up, ayy

Maybe one day it will change

Only if you choose to stay

But now all I can say is that I

[Chorus]

Wish that I could love you

But I don't know how to love you

There's no one here to blame

So you can charge it to the game

But I really wanna love you

But I don't know how to love you

[Verse 2]

Girl, I know you've been hurt many times before

And relationships appear from love and war

You can act as if it doesn't exist (It doesn't exist, baby)

But it does, oh (Ooh, oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

Admit it face to face (Face)

Girl, I'm in a different place (Place)

Is it worth it? (Ooh, woah)

I don't wanna let you go (Dululut, dululut)

But there's something you should know (Dululut, dululut)

How can I get this through to you?

Ohhh

[Chorus]

Wish that I could love you

But I don't know how to love you

There's no one here to blame

So you can charge it to the game

But I really wanna love you

But I don't know how to love you

[Bridge]

I'm not the faithful type of guy

Can't help it

I want your cake and some of hers

I'm so selfish, girl

I know you're sick of all my games and my bull–

I understand how you feel

[Chorus]

Wish that I could love you

But I don't know how to love you (Love you, baby)

There's no one here to blame

So you can charge it to the game (Game, but)

But I really wanna love you (Love you)

But I don't know how to love you

[Outro]

Woah, ohhh

I really wanna love you, yeah

Woah, woah
