Make You Want Me

[Intro]
(What? Come on)
(You really don't know me)
(Hmm, no, no)
(No, no, no, no)
(Didn't know me, baby)

[Verse]
It was a Friday night
All night on the phone
Talkin' to you like how
How we gon' get it on
Now I'm hearin' a new story
My friends say that you're with another man
So I go up to the club
And there you are
With the one who is takin' my place
And you see me
Baby
You call out my name
And this is what I had to say
(Hey)

[Chorus]
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true

[Verse/Rap]
You come home
You act like nothin' happened
Like everythin all the same
Then you tell me
That I'm insane
I guess you didn't know me
Then you go and leave me
For that other man
I didn't know what to say
What to do
So I got up and I followed you
And then you see me
Baby
You call out my name
And this is what I had to say

[Chorus]
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true
Say
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true

[Rap]
Aye hey listen
I just got a few things to say
So does he?
Does he make you smile?
Does he make you cry?
Does he make you laugh like I?
Does he hold you close?
Does he let you go?
Does he say
"I love you" like I do?
Does he make you sweat?
Does he make you moan?
Does he make you call his name out loud?
Does he put you first?
Does he put in work?
Does he give you what you need like I do?

[Bridge]
(You know that ain't true)
Oh
I
I can't believe what you've done to me
Girl
You should have told me
(You know that ain't true)
And you oh
You could have told me 
It would end this way
Baby
(You know that ain't true)
Girl
He can't love you like I can
He can't need you like I do
He can't care for you like me
(You know it's true)
Baby
He can't love you like I can
He can't need you like I do
He can't care for you like me
(You know that it's true)
He can't, he can't

[Last Chorus]
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true
Said
Can he
Can he
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true
Oh whoa oh oh 
You gotta let me know oh
Can he
Can he
Can he
Can he love you like I can?
Like I can?
Does he need you like I do?
Like I do?
Does he care for you like me?
Like me
You know that ain't true
No no
No
(You gotta let me know baby)



Can He Love You Like I Can

SOUTHERN WIND

They say the Southern wind don’t blow —
it remembers.

It comes off red dirt roads and rusted mailboxes,
through screen doors that never shut right,
carrying names nobody says out loud anymore.

Mama used to say
“If the wind changes fast, somebody’s lying.”
Daddy said nothing —
just stared at the tree line like it owed him money.

That wind learned the shape of my house
before I did.
It knew which floorboard creaked,
which prayer got skipped,
which promises were made drunk and meant sober.

Every time it howls at night,
it don’t sound mad —
it sounds disappointed.

High school lights flicker when it rolls in.
Old trucks won’t start.
Hearts do.

You can leave town,
cut your hair,
change your name,
but the Southern wind keeps your original copy.

It’ll catch you on a back road,
windows down,
radio low,
and whisper:

“You ain’t done yet.”

And for a second —
just a second —
you believe it.
