I want her to feel it in her chest 
I want her to feel it in her soul 
I want her to lose control 
Mary, talk to 'em 

I 
Yeah 
I 
You takin' a part of me 
That I cannot set free 
See me lettin' go 
No this ain't the time 
I got too much livin' to do 
And I can't lose it over you 
So give me the flow 
I'll get my swagger goin' 
I'll say this is the year for me 

You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 

Damn you been up and down the whole way
I know I make it hard to love me 
But trust me 
I could take you to places 
That you ain't never been 
Put you in purple labels 
And in Vera Wang
Get your name engraved 
On a wedding ring on everything
I'ma love you better 
More than I ever did 
Cause baby girl listen 
Since you been here with me 
Can't even lie 
I see the rider in ya ambition 
Providin' me with the fire 
When you wet and drippin' 
Mommy if you see it different 
Go 'head and get it 
And I ain't sayin' if you leave me 
It'd be better 
But me and you together 
Honey we could do whatever 
Let's do it 
I made it hard 
I admit it it's true 
I need to hear somethin' 
I'm listenin' boo 

So make sure I'm heard and things improve 
I'm prepared to take it there for you 
Your lovin' keeps me lovin' 
Saying no purpose constant chest pain
It's amazin' 
But it ain't enough 
Friends keep askin' 
I'm staying around
For what
Who sheds this many tears
Remind of where am I as to what it is
Oh oh oh

I know I'm hard to love 
Let's rock 

You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 

Lemme talk to you one more time girl 
You always sayin' that I don't want you to hurt 
You always complainin' 
But I was makin' it worse 
Besides all the games that I's kickin' at first 
It's time to explain 
My mind's been in reverse 
But now I think back 
When nobody cared 
And you was there 
Just to roll by your man 
And came back 
Even know what I did 
I realize and I'm aware 
I know what it is 
Put that on everything 
Girl you my everything 
I don't know where I'd breathe 
Cause you the air I be 
If lovin' is wrong 
Who could be right 
I wouldn't know what to do 
Without you in my life 
You're more to me than the world I pray 
The more nights for your heart to ache
Right in the middle of the dawn of day 
I think of all the pain I caused 
And throw it away and say 
I need you in my life 
Can you feel it in your soul 

You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 

I know it's hard to love me 
That don't mean I don't love you 
Hey rich 
I love the way you got Harlem singin' 
Mary take us home 

You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 
You makin' it so damn hard 
For me to love you 

She the queen of hip-hop soul 

Yeah you are
