[Verse 1]
I'm not gonna start no trouble
I'm not one to throw no salt
But you standing out here crying
I watched as that dude drove off
Assuming that that's your man
Assuming that y'all just fought
I don't know the whole story
But assuming it wasn't your fault

[Chorus]
Baby since he just won't do it right
Let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Baby since he just won't do it right
Let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Let me be the one

[Verse 2]
Now I know that you don't know me
But hear what I'm talking 'bout
'Cause when I look at you what I see
Is worth trying to work it out
Now I don't know him so I can say that he's a bad dude
But is he really trying I think not
And all I'm saying is that if he won't make the effort
Let me give in a shot

[Chorus]
Baby since he just won't do it right
Let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Baby since he just won't do it right
Let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done

[Bridge]
Let me be what you want
Let me be what he's not
Let me show you real love
'Cause real love is all I got
Come on in out the rain
Come let me do it right
Come let me change your heart
And change your life oh woo
Girl let me be the one, be the one
Girl let me be the one, be the one
Girl let me be the one, be the one
Girl let me be the one, be the one
Oh la la la la la
La la la la la
Oh la la la la la

[Chorus]
Baby since he just won't do it right
Let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done
Baby since he just won't do it right
Let me be the one
Let me show you what real love is like
And do the things he should have done

Ne-Yo is a singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor who first gained notoriety when he wrote 2004’s hit “Let Me Love You” for singer, Mario.

Ne-Yo (who was born Shaffer C. Smith) got his stage name from collaborator and producer, Big D Evans, who claimed that Ne-Yo “sees music as Neo sees the matrix.”

In addition to six studio albums, Ne-Yo has co-written with Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen of the Norwegian production team, Stargate. His hits include Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable” and Rihanna’s “Take a Bow”.
