Lyrics

Damaged

[Verse 1: T-Boz]

I know I'm kinda strange to you sometimes

Don't always say what's on my mind

You know that I've been hurt by some guy

But I don't wanna mess up this time

[Pre-Chorus: T-Boz and Chilli]

And I really really really care

And I really really really want you

And I think I'm kinda scared

'Cause I don't wanna lose you

If you're really really really there

Then maybe you can hang through

I hope you understand

It's nothin' to you

[Chorus]

My heart's at a low, I'm so much to manage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

I'm fallin' in love, there's one disadvantage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

[Verse 2: T-Boz]

I might look through your stuff for what I don't wanna find

Or I might just set you up to see if you're all mine

I'm a little paranoid from what I've been through

Don't know what you got yourself into

[Pre-Chorus: T-Boz and Chilli]

And I really really really care

And I really really really want you

And I think I'm kinda scared

'Cause I don't wanna lose you

If you're really really really there

Then maybe you can hang through

I hope you understand

It's nothin' to you

[Chorus]

My heart's at a low, I'm so much to manage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

I'm fallin' in love, there's one disadvantage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

My heart's at a low, I'm so much to manage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

I'm fallin' in love, there's one disadvantage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

[Pre-Chorus: T-Boz and Chilli]

And I really really really want you

And I think I'm kinda scared

'Cause I don't wanna lose you

If you're really really really there

Then maybe you can hang through

I hope you understand

It's nothin' to you

[Chorus]

My heart's at a low, I'm so much to manage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

I'm fallin' in love, there's one disadvantage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

My heart's at a low, I'm so much to manage

I think you should know that I've been damaged

I'm fallin' in love, there's one disadvantage

I think you should know that I've been damaged
