Defensive (prod. By The Clutch) Lyrics

Hey baby can we talk about it?
I got something messing with my head and it's killing me
You ain't gotta lie
You ain't even gotta reply
Sit down and let me get this off my chest
Let me catch my breath
Ooh, my my, what the grapevine's buzzin'
Said it didn't matter
Said I didn't let it get to me
Truth is I lied
It cut me down deep inside
Before you deny it let me get this off my chest
Let me catch my breath

Girl is this me and you? (you)
Just you and me?
I'm not the enemy (not the enemy)
Girl is this me and you? (you)
Just you and me?
I'm not the enemy

Girl you gotta let down your guard (guard)
Girl you gotta show me your heart (heart)
How can I get over the hurt? (hurt)
When I can never get in a word (word)
You're so damn defensive

Fussin' and cussin' over nothin', stressin' me out
Denyin' and lyin' everything come outta your mouth
Messin' up my head, I'm fed up
I gave everything I had to give
You're so damn defensive
Uh huh

I try to shake it but I can't get over
Every time I hold you in my arms it won't let me be
But it right now
Hangs over me like a cloud
I'm gonna keep it real but you give me no less
Let me catch my breath
Got real love for you, meant what I said
But I heard about you one too many times wonderin' if it's true
Put your guard back down
Baby we can work this out
I'm gonna keep it real but you give me no less
Let me catch my breath

Girl is this me and you? (you)
Just you and me?
I'm not your enemy (not the enemy)
Girl is this me and you? (you)
Just you and me?
I'm not the enemy

Girl you gotta let down your guard (guard)
Girl you gotta show me your heart (heart)
How can I get over the hurt? (hurt)
When I can never get in a word (word)
You're so damn defensive

Fussin' and cussin' over nothin', stressin' me out
Denyin' and lyin' everything come outta your mouth
Messin' up my head, I'm fed up
I gave everything I had to give
You're so damn defensive
Uh huh

Is it too much for me to ask you just to speak your mind?
If I don't know what it is, how can we ever make it right?
Let me know
Or let me go
You gotta tell me what it is
Cuz baby girl I'm on your side
Tell me why

Girl you gotta let down your guard (guard)
Girl you gotta show me your heart (heart)
How can I get over the hurt? (hurt)
When I can never get in a word (word)
You're so damn defensive

Fussin' and cussin' over nothin', stressin' me out
Denyin' and lyin' everything come outta your mouth
Messin' up my head, I'm fed up
I gave everything I had to give
You're so damn defensive
Uh huh
