Amerie Quote by Amerie
“Baby you're no good for me, no You can be, you can be, you can, you can be the only one You can be, you can be, you can, you can be the only one And though I hate it, hate it that I can't forget you I try my best but I'm a mess 'cause I can't shake you I Wanna call you but my pride won't let it get the best of me The best of me, no Loving you was so hard but I keep tryin' baby I just end up with scars 'cause I keep fightin' baby Loving you is like a battle that I can't afford to lose I can't lose But I'm askin' you, Why are you the only thing that I care about? Why are you the only thing that I care about? Why are you the only thing I think about? Why are you the only one? Baby you're no good for me, no you're no good You can be, you can be, you can, you can be the only one You can be, you can be, you can, you can be the only one No I can't believe that I'm still cryin'And no it ain't because I ain't been tryin 'Losin' sleep 'cause I can't help but think about the past And how we didn't last, how we didn't last Why are you the only thing that I care about? Why are you the only thing that I care about? Why are you the only thing I think about? Why are you the only one? Baby you're no good for me, no You can be, you can be, you can, you can be the only one You can be, you can be, you can, you can be the only one Why are you the only thing that I care about? Why are you the only thing that I care about? Why are you the only thing I think about? Why are you the only one?”
