[Verse 1]
She said when my music on, she could see the city
And while they sleepin' on me, she could see the dreamer in me
I’m always home, when I’m alone I get green with envy
She value her time, wants to share it like a secret with me
Feelin' like maybe she love me, maybe she don’t
Maybe she will, uh, maybe she won’t, uh
Maybe she doesn’t or, maybe it’s nothin', uh
Maybe she love me or, maybe we fuckin', uh
Minimal cost for me to make a point and get it across
A traded flowers for original thoughts
Yeah she know how I feel, I write it down on lines of paper
And leave ‘em around the house
She mess around and find 'em later
Not quite together, not quite friends
Still awkward in changes when a long night ends
I know, mind telling me "Aye, somebody finally get you"
Stopped and thought “All I got to do is try a little”
Before and after

[Chorus]
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
Before and after
[Verse 2]
Okay, uh
She said when my music on, she could see the city
I’m out of town, she only wish she was leavin' with me
My train of thought's in tunnel vision, but she forgives me
Just wants some peace to herself, says I don’t leave her any
Same argument in recent memory
I chase my guilt with a drink of whiskey
Toastin' every day to history
Maybe this is déjà vu, maybe
Maybe that’s just the way I do, maybe
Maybe that’s me coppin’ out
Maybe we played the blame game, it’s just somethin' to talk about
Maybe the wallet issue you playin' with me
Maybe the problem is everything is “maybe” with me
It’s the perfect combination
Talk about a bring of kids, that’s when I curve the conversation
I know you deserve more, I wish life was simple
Just stop you there, like “Just promise that you’ll try a little”
Before and after

[Chorus]
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
First they love you then they hate you
Then they hate that they love you, they hate that they love you
Before and after
[Bridge]
Want it ‘til you got it ‘til you’re gone with it
Had it ‘til you lost it‘til you gone with it
Want it ‘til you got it‘til you’re gone with it
Had it ‘til you lost it ‘til you gone with it
Want it ‘til you got it ‘til you’re gone with it
Had it ‘til you lost it‘til you gone with it
Want it ‘til you got it‘til you’re gone with it
Had it ‘til you lost it ‘til you gone with it
Anticipation, anticipation
Anticipation, anticipation
Before and after

[Outro Sample]
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
