Meet In tha Middle

[Intro: Timbaland]

Gotta meet somewhere, baby, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Timbaland]

We fuss, we fight, yo' fault, my fault

We was on the same team, at least that's what I thought

We both participated only I got caught

Now we hardly conversate and baby we don't talk

It was fun at first, you can't say I'm wrong

Now you wanna talk about it? Too late, I'm gone

You mad at me 'cause I don't wanna play yo' games

I ain't perfect, but I'mma do my thing (we gotta meet in the middle)

Huh, you here I'm there

Tell me what's the sense of me tryin' if you don't care?

This relationship is headed to who knows where

That means one of us got to chose

[Pre-Chorus: Timbaland]

Because you hurt me, and I hurt you

You complain about the things that I don't do

And I don't wanna take the blame, neither do you

Because we got too much to lose

[Chorus: Timbaland with Brandy]

We gotta meet in the middle, meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

We gotta compromise, baby don't analyze

We need to see eye to eye, so let's meet in the middle

We gotta meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

We gotta compromise, we gotta work it out this time

We need to see eye to eye, so let's meet in the middle

[Verse 2: Timbaland]

Hey, hey, we got somethin' we can't enjoy

I'm sick of you tryin to play with me like I'm your toy

Mmm - you tried to run game, I saw

We got a lot of issues you got yours (We gotta meet in the middle)

Huh, you can't talk that shit

You can't travel to the future if you walk backwards

Once you walk out the door, you can't walk back in

We gotta find a way to solve it, think about our kids

'Cause they in the middle - you wanna sing that song?

You won't need to cop a plea to say okay, I'm wrong

Thangs are gettin heavy, but I still stay strong

I try to talk it over wit'chu when I coulda been gone

[Pre-Chorus: Timbaland]

Because you hurt me, and I hurt you

You complain about the things that I don't do

And I don't wanna take the blame, neither do you

Because we got too much to lose

[Chorus: Timbaland with Brandy]

We gotta meet in the middle, meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

We gotta compromise, baby don't analyze

We need to see eye to eye, so let's meet in the middle

We gotta meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

We gotta compromise, we gotta work it out this time

We need to see eye to eye, so let's meet in the middle

[Verse 3: Brandy]

I told you once, I told you twice

And now my shoulder's cold, like a block of ice

You playin' games like you rollin dice

Hey what you know about a sacrifice? (Baby, I've been in the middle)

I've been givin' you more than a little

Had the ball then you double dribbled (I guess love is a riddle)

You never listen, I don't ever get my point across

I washed your dirty drawers, you out with dirty broads

You did me dirty dog, 'cause youse a dirty dog

It's a curtain call, and I ain't mad at all

I gave you more than you deserve, I was worth it all

Bottom line hope you find what you searchin' for

[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]

You hurt me so I hurt you

And I complain about the things that you don't do

And I don't wanna take the blame, neither do you

We got too much to lose

[Chorus: Timbaland with Brandy]

We gotta meet in the middle, meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

We gotta compromise, baby don't analyze

We need to see eye to eye, so let's meet in the middle

We gotta meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

We gotta compromise, we gotta work it out this time

We need to see eye to eye, so let's meet in the middle

[Outro: Brandy]

Meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

And compromise, analyze

Eye to eye, meet in the middle

Meet in the middle

We gotta gotta meet in the middle

And compromise, gotta work it out this time

Gotta see eye to eye, meet in the middle
