Lyrics
Verse 1
I can't stand you right now
3 years in this damn house
Our pictures all in the frame
We laughed and we played, yo
It's just not the same no-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our miscommunication
Twisting the words that I say - so done
It's hard to love you just the same
you don't understand me, your just so demanding - see these tears are fallin
Pre 1
I want you to open up your heart and feel free - satisfy yo soul
I want you to be a safe place for me
I want to, to be a safe place for yoo -ooo- ooo-ooo
Hook 1
Your roundabouts
Please come out and say it
Just tell me know
You so irritatin
I wanna know
Can you love me naked
No roundabout
Just say it or exit
Your roundabouts
Please come out and say it
Just tell me know
this love feels overrate
I wanna know
Y u complicate it
Don't play me out
No roundabouts, No roundabouts
Verse 2
What happened to our summer dreams
All that's left are broken dreams
Need your body...... up on me
Need your kisses all over me, tired of tears on these sheets
?
Prechorus 2
I want you to come to me with anything, say what's on yo mind
I want you to be a safe place for me
I want to, to be a safe place for yoo -ooo- ooo-ooo
Hook 2
Your roundabouts
Please come out and say it
Just tell me know
You so irritatin
I wanna know
Can you love me naked
Don't play me out
Just say it or exit
Your roundabouts
Please come out and say it
Just tell me know
This love feels overrated
I wanna know
Can you love me naked
Don't play me out
No roundabouts, No roundabouts
?
Outro
I can't stand you right now
but I know we'll work it out
Gotta break all these walls down
No one has to be right now
Gonna stand my ground
Boy don't play me out
Ain't down for this boy
Ain't down for this boy
