[Verse 1]

We've had such a great time in these past two months

I never laughed so much in my life

It's been all about us

Since that time we had that intimate talk

Suddenly, you're actin' strange, plus

Your conversation just up and changed

Is it because you're afraid that what you feelin' for me

Is the beginning of a new heartbreak?

Hear me when I say

[Chorus]

You ain't gotta give me your love (oh, no)

You ain't gotta say I'm your one (you ain't gotta, no, no)

You ain't gotta tell me where you be (oh, no)

'Cause you ain't obligated to me

I'm not sayin' that you should just

Rush and give me your heart

I'm just askin' that you like me real hard

Just like me real hard

[Verse 2]

You know just like I know

We've been broken by love and we both need time to heal

That's why in this short amount of time

We've grown so close 'cause you relate to everything I feel

So let's not complicate things by

Placing titles on you and I

But what we can do before we make the next move

We gotta find the perfect reason why

So believe me when I say

[Chorus]

You ain't gotta give me your love (whoa, no, no, no, no)

You ain't gotta say I'm your one

You ain't gotta tell me where you be

'Cause you ain't obligated to me (whoa, oh, oh)

I'm not sayin' that you should just

Rush and give me your heart

I'm just askin' that you like me real hard (my baby, babe)

Just like me real hard (woo!)

[Bridge]

You ain't ready to fall in love

And I ain't ready to care so much

We ain't ready for commitment right now

But together we can work something out

And we'll know when the time is right

Because we'll feel it in our hearts

It will be written in the stars

But for now, just like me real hard

[Chorus]

You ain't gotta give me your love (baby, yeah)

You ain't gotta say I'm your one

You ain't gotta tell me where you be (oh, no)

'Cause you ain't obligated to me

I'm not sayin' that you should just

Rush and give me your heart

I'm just askin' that you like me real hard

Just like me real hard (Yeah! Would you do it, baby?)

You ain't gotta give me your love

You ain't gotta say I'm your one (And I ain't gotta be the one)

You ain't gotta tell me where you be (Baby...)

'Cause you ain't obligated to me

I'm not sayin' that you should just

Rush and give me your heart

I'm just askin' that you like me real hard (Be a friend to me)

Just like me real hard (Baby, baby, baby, baby, please)

[Outro]

I just wanna be your baby

Just want you to be my friend, girl

Oh, yeah

I'm not sayin', sayin', oh, no, no, no

I'm just asking you that you like me real hard

Just like me real hard
