[Intro – whispery falsetto, soft piano/synth pads]
You-you-you…
Umm-umm… ahh-huh…
Woo-woo, yeah, yeah…
(Ayy, I know I be extra, babe…)
(Smooth ad-lib: “Oh no no no…”)
⸻
[Verse 1]
Every time you hit me with that look
I be actin’ out the script, not the book
Ahh-huh — messin’ up the vibe again
Woo-woo — caught up in my pride again (yeah)
Umm-umm, I be loud for no reason
Jealous heart, always jumpin’ to conclusions
You-you-you — too good to be real
But I make it hard just to feel what we feel
(Ad-lib: “Why I do it like that? Why I trip like that?”)
(Run: “I-I-I-I don’t mean to go too faaaaar, babe”)
⸻
[Chorus – high pitch, melodic riffs layered with ad-libs]
You-you-you — don’t deserve this weight
Umm-umm — I’m pushin’ you away
Ahh-huh — overthinkin’ what you say
Woo-woo — then I make it rain on a sunny day
You-you-you — know I’m just scared to lose
Umm-umm — that’s why I act a fool
Ahh-huh — babe, I’m doin’ too much
Woo-woo — but I only act up ’cause I love too much, yeah yeah
(Ad-libs: “Too much, too much… ohhh no”)
(Runs: “I be doin’ doin’ doin’ too muuuuch, babe”)
⸻
[Verse 2 – syncopated delivery, breathy falsetto lines]
You don’t even trip, you just stare
Silent treatment — that’s worse than yellin’ in the air
Ahh-huh — you too cool when I’m heated
Woo-woo — I be beggin’ while you seated
Umm-umm — I don’t wanna be this way
But the fear in my heart got me actin’ cray
You-you-you — all I want, all I need
But I act like a storm when you’re tryin’ to bring peace
(Ad-libs: “Mmm, I know, I know…”)
(Riff: “Oh-oh-oh, I’m tryna chaaaaaange”)
⸻
[Bridge – stripped back, rising vocal intensity]
I be wildin’ like I’m fightin’ for survival
Tearin’ down what we built, goin’ spiral
Ahh-huh… Woo-woo…
Baby, I don’t mean it, nah
You-you-you — you the calm in my chaos
But I treat your love like it’s payback
Umm-umm — but I’m tryna be real
No more doin’ too much, just say how I feel
⸻
[Final Chorus – vocal layering, harmonies, falsetto peaks]
You-you-you — still the one I need
Umm-umm — even when I can’t breathe
Ahh-huh — love got me on that edge
Woo-woo — don’t wanna jump but I’m on that ledge
You-you-you — please don’t give me up
Umm-umm — let me earn your trust
Ahh-huh — babe, I’m doin’ too much
Woo-woo — but I swear it’s all ‘cause I love too much, babe…
(Ad-libs: “It’s all love, it’s all love…”)
(Vocal run to close: “Doin’ toooo muuuuuuch… but I’m still yours, oh yeah”)
⸻
[Outro – soft falsetto over fading beat]
Umm-umm…
Ahh-huh…
You-you-you…
Woo-woo…
