Mm, mm
Mm
Oh, yeah
Mm
She don't need a perfect man, she needs a present one
Someone who still sees her when the whole day's done
She wanna speak her heart without defending every word
Sometimes she don't need an answer, she just needs to know she's heard
Remember when you noticed every little thing she did
How you couldn't pass her by without your hands around her hips
Now she walks into the room, you barely lift your eyes
And wonder where the woman went who used to lie there by your side
She told you she was lonely, you told her she complained
She told you something changed, you turned around the blame
Every time she reached for you and nothing reached her back
She learned to need you less and less, you never noticed that
Don't wait till she's done to love her right
Don't wait till she's gone to hold her tight
Don't wait till the tears don't fall no more
Then become what she was asking for
When she stops asking where you've been (mm)
Stops caring who got your attention
You might think she finally trusts you
Sometimes she just stopped expecting
Watch where you put your eyes when your woman's by your side
Something small to you can cut somebody deep inside
Don't call her insecure because she tells you what she sees
She shouldn't stand beside her man and feel she gotta compete
Watch the way you speak to her whenever you get mad (yeah)
You might forget by morning, she remembers what you said
Don't point out every flaw like she don't own a mirror too
She wants to feel desired by the man that she once chose
Love ain't only paying bills, love ain't coming home
You can give her everything and still make her feel alone
It's looking when she's talking, reaching when she needs your touch
Making sure the woman giving everything ain't begging you for love
Don't wait till she's done to love her right
Don't wait till she's gone to hold her tight
Don't wait till the tears don't fall no more
Then become what she was asking for
When she stops asking where you've been (mm)
Stops caring who got your attention
You might think she finally trusts you
Sometimes she just stopped expecting
Crying ain't always the ending
Arguing ain't always goodbye, oh
If she's still fighting to reach you
There's still love somewhere inside
Worry when she gets quiet
When she don't ask where you've been
And sleeping alone feels better
Than reaching for you again
You might think you finally got peace
No questions, no fighting at night
Whole time she learned how to breathe
Without needing you by her side
Don't wait till she's done to love her right
Don't, don't wait till goodbye keeps you up at night
Don't wait till the woman who begged for your time
Finally gets tired and takes back her life (ooh)
If she's still talking, listen (mm)
If she's still reaching, reach (mm)
If she tells you what she needs from you
Don't make that woman beg to be seen
'Cause losing a good woman
Ain't always her walking out that door
Sometimes she's laying right beside you
She just don't love you like she did before
