[Verse 1]
May not be what you think you want
I don't fit your mold of perfection
You see me break so many hearts
This explains your constant rejection

[Chorus]
But I know when it's real
And I wanna show you girl
But every time that I try
Shut me down, shut me down
Shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down
Shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you

[Verse 2]
You believe that I'm messing 'round
That it can't be real what I'm saying
But I've never felt what I feel right now
So believe me girl, I ain't playing

[Chorus]
Cause I know when it's real
And I wanna show you girl
But every time that I try
Shut me down, shut me down
You shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down
Shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you

[Chorus]
Cause I know when it's real
And I wanna show you girl
But every time that I try
Shut me down, shut me down
You shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down
You shut me down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you
For what it's worth, I'm in love with you
Said for what it's worth, I'm in love with you
