How to Love

You had a lot of crooks
Trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck
Couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love
You had a lot of moments
That didn’t last forever
Now you off in a corner
Trying to put it together
How to love, how to love
For a second, you was here
Now you over there it's hard not to stare
The way you move your body
Like you never had a love, never had a love

When you was just a youngin'
Your looks were so precious
But now you're grown up
So fly it's like a blessing
But you can’t have a man look
At you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself
So when you got older
It seems like you came back ten times over
Now you’re sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and
Looking over your shoulder

See, you had a lot of crooks
Trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck
Couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love
You had a lot of moments
That didn’t last forever
Now you off in a corner
Trying to put it together
How to love, how to love
For a second, you was here
Now you over there it's hard not to stare
The way you move your body
Like you never had a love, never had a love

Had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the
World affected all your decisions
But it wasn’t your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me
Be the one listening
But I admire your popping bottles and dipping
Just as much as you
Admire bartending and stripping
Baby, don’t be mad, nobody else tripping
You see a lot of crooks, yeah
Them crooks still crooked

See, you had a lot of crooks
Trying to steal your heart
Never really had luck
Couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love
You had a lot of moments
That didn’t last forever
Now you off in a corner
Trying to put it together
How to love, how to love

I want you to know that you deserve the best
You’re beautiful
