[Intro]
Don't count on me, babe, don't
Don't wait on me, babe, it's late, these days
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
It's hard to give yourself to someone
It's harder when you love someone
Waiting 'round is no fun
Tryna get a lot done
I don't usually leave a message
But call me when you get this
Fell in love with an idea, it's right where you left it

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to say, "You don't have to stay"
Can't love you this way
So before it's too late, when we're face-to-facе
Don't be afraid to say it, mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Don't count on me, babe, don't
Don't wait on mе, babe, it's late, these days
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I know you can't stay long
I know you wanna be someone
Know you got your own shit
But I'm way too selfish
And you could never say no
Know you can't help it
You can't stay away, babe (Stay away, babe)
Don't know where my head is

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to say, "You don't have to stay"
Can't love you this way
So before it's too late, when we're face-to-face
Don't be afraid to say it, mm-hmm, don't

[Chorus]
Don't count on me, babe, don't
Don't wait on me, babe, it's late, these days
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
I never wanna hear you preach, baby
And I know I get too needy
Oh, but you need me, yeah
All you wanna do is please me
Take advantage of your love
Ooh, you make it way too easy
Maybe it's too much, but I don't want you to leave
Said, I don't want you to leave

[Chorus]
Don't count on me, babe, ee-ee, ee, oh yeah
Don't wait on me, baby, ee-ee, no
Don't wait on me, babe, don't wait
Eee-eee, ooh woo
Don't wait on me, baby
Don't wait on me, no
Don't wait on me, no
Don't count on me
Don't count on me

[Outro]
I never wanna hear you preach, baby
I never wanna hear you preach, baby
Even though I get too needy
But you please me
But you need me, never wanna hear you

H.E.R.

H.E.R is an acronym for the phrase Having Everything Revealed, which is used as a moniker by Gabriella Wilson. The singer, who is signed to RCA Records was known for keeping her real identity under

“The mystery is a metaphor of who I am, of who I was at the time of creating the project. I feel like oftentimes we don’t like to be open as people about out emotions or things that we are going through. At the time [of recording], I was very closed off except for when I was writing or when I was in the studio.”

First showing up on the scene at SoundCloud when she dropped her first EP in 2016, H.E.R., Vol 1, followed up with H.E.R., Vol. 2. Her music is mixed with inspirations of R&B, hip-hop, and soul.
