I Just Wanna Love Lyrics
We see life from different angles
I know what you're waitin' for
Time's runnin' out, you want me in your house
But that ain't how this thing goes
Ooh-ooh, so what do you do?
So what do you do?
So what do you do when I don't give back what your heart feels?
What do you do when I'm not good like that?
What do you do when the sex can't hold us?
That I'll leave you once it's over
[Chorus]
But I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love that feels meant to be
I just want a love that carries kids for me
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love that's never meant to leave
I just want a lovе to bury here with me
I just want a lovе
[Verse 2]
Crazy how I thought we had the best sex
Taught you how to move, how to make love
Then you go and put on my friends, yeah
Girl, even though you're down, I'm not able
Let go of the past but I can't though
Told me, let you go, you're still here though
You're the one that's wrong but you bring me down
I can't get around why I wait so long?
Wait so long to show you we're cancelled
Can't slow down, I got business, put our daughter in a mansion with everything in life paid for
But I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love that feels meant to be
I just want a love that carries kids for me
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love that's never meant to leave
I just want a love to bury here with me
I just want a love
[Bridge]
Put you in a foreign, it's yours
She don't want no pity no more
Broke your heart, I know you need more
'Cause my love ain't good for you no more
My love ain't good for you no more
'Cause my love ain't good for you no more
My love ain't good for you no more
[Chorus]
But I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love that feels meant to be
I just want a love that carries kids for me
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love (I just want a love)
I just want a love that's never meant to leave
I just want a love to bury here with me
I just want a love
I just want a love

I had my daughter recently—she wasn’t even a year old yet when I wrote this. Me and my baby mother were just kind of going through it, because I’ve known her since high school and she’s still super in love with me but I had been falling out of love for years now. So this song is me really telling her that I’m ready to move on and do my own thing now, and I have to stop doing what I’m doing to lead her on. We’re good co-parents, we’re good friends, but not lovers, and I wanted her to really know that. Like, this is how our life is going to be—we’re not going back to how you think it might go. So I just wanted to say, ‘I’m done, let’s move on, and let’s continue moving forward with our lives.’
