[Verse 1: Usher]

Before anything began between us
You were like my best friend!
The one I used to run and talk to
When me and my girl was having problems! (That's right!)
You used to say it'll be okay
Suggest little nice things I should do!
And when I go home at night
And lay my head down
All I seem to think about was you
And how...

This is what you do! (Aah, yeah!)
Think about her and all the things

On,...)

You make me...
You make me...

[Verse 2: Usher]

Now what's bad
Is you're the one that hooked us up!
Knowing it should've been you!
What's sad is that I love her
But I'm falling for you!
What should I do?
Should I...
... tell my baby bye-bye?
Should I...
... do exactly what I feel inside?
Cause I...
... I don't wanna go
Don't need to stay
But I really need to get it together!

[Chorus: Usher]

You make me wanna leave the one I'm with, (UUH!)
Start a new relationship with you, (Ooh Baby!)
This is what you do! (See what you do?)
Think about her and all the things (Ah, yeah!!!)
That come along with
You make me... (You make me...)
You make me... (You make me...)
... leave the one i'm with
Start a new relationship with you, (Ooh, baby!)
This is what you do! (This is what you do!)
Think about her and all the things (Yeah!!!)
That come along with
You make me... [Timbaland] Uh!
You make me... [Timbaland] Uh!
