[Intro]
Mmm, I can't believe it's over, damn
(I just wanna start over again)
Oh, oh, oh-oh
(I just wanna start over again)
Oh, oh, oh-oh
(I just wanna start over again)
No, oh, oh
(I just wanna start over again)
No, oh, oh
(I just wanna start over again)

[Verse 1]
How did it get to be this way
You and I fussin' and fighting almost every day
Where the sun used to shine, now it rains
The look in your eyes only reminds me of the pain between us
Baby, what happened to all the affection
The love and connection we used to share
Brighter days, they seem so far away
Sometimes I just wanna give up

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you want it back
I'll be willing to stay out the clubs ballin'
If you want it back
Change my number, keep them other hoes from callin'
If you want it back
Girl, I'll do it right now, no more stallin'
'Cause I want it back, so tell me...
[Chorus]
Can we (Can we), can we start over again?
Been through too much to let it go
I need my shorty, my lover, my friend (My friend)
Baby let's not fight no more
You know inside, we were meant to spend forever
Nothing can stop us as long as we're together (Hold on)
Give us another chance, I need to know (I need to know)
Can we start over again?

[Verse 2]
Would be so easy to just turn and walk away
To charge it to the game and look to another day
But damn it, something just keeps pulling me in
Girl, deep down inside you know this isn't the end between us
Baby, if you hold onto me, you'll see
We can make things right if you help me fight
I could be wrong but I'll take that chance
'Cause I think it's worth it, you know it's worth it, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, take me back
If without me you just can't eat
Girl, just take me back
If you wake up at night reaching for me
Baby, take me back
If leaving brings uncertainty
Girl, just take me back, oh baby
[Chorus]
Can we (Can we), can we start over again?
(Said I wanna know, yeah)
Been through too much to let it go
I need my shorty, my lover, my friend (My friend)
(Said I need you, baby)
Baby, let's not fight no more (Don't wanna fight)
You know inside, we were meant to spend forever
Nothing can stop us as long as we're together (Hold on)
Give us another chance, I need to know (I need to know)
Can we start over again?

[Bridge]
There's no (No other way I can put it to you)
Oh babe, 'cause I need you right here with me, yeah
(Anything to keep this love together, I'll do)
Oh lady, but first you gotta work with me
(We both made mistakes, along the way, the breaks)
I'll take the blame for my part and that's a start
(But it takes two)
Tell me, are you willing to do the same in return? (Return)
Please don't let it burn

[Chorus]
Can we (Oh no), can we start over again?
(Said I wanna know, baby)
Been through too much to let it go
I need my shorty, my lover, my friend (My friend)
Baby, let's not fight no more (I don't wanna fight)
You know inside, we were meant to spend forever
Nothing can stop us as long as we're together (Just hold on)
Give us another chance, I need to know (I need to know)
Can we start over again?
[Outro]
I just wanna start over again
