Songwriter: Usher

Oh can you hear me baby
Can you hear me baby?
Listen
You know everybody is always talking about change
Now don't get me wrong
Change can be beautiful
Some things are ment to stay the same you know

If this were our last night
Here on this planet
How would you feel
What would you say
Pretend that you never
Ever will see me
After tonight, after today
And I tell me you rather fight
And hold the grudge against me
Instead of makin’ love tonight
Ooh is that what you sayin baby

I never be flawlеss
Never be pеrfect
No matter how bad you want me to be
I'll be your hero
As soon as you let go
And stop having me in your fantasy
Let's just live life
Let’s just have fun
Maybe in time we can be as one
But if we never do then that's okay
And all and all I'm tryna say is

I ain't gonna change (oh no)
Just being someone else is too damn hard
And I don't want you to change (oh no)
Cause I take you just the way you are
And ooh, I never wanted anything more
And I didn't understand before
But now I do
All that I ask is, just be you

Now what if tomorrow came and I change
And you started doing things that you claim
Would be better
What if I did whatever
To put your mind to ease that we'd always be together
Would that make you satisfied
To have me home every night
Knowing that I really miss the lights
Could you live with yourself?
If that'd happen babe

Tell me where is the girl
The one who used to standin
As the light in my world
Where is she at
Cause I want her back
Can we go back
Cause who I’m looking at
Forgot how to love
I want the one that gave me love
The one that I could go to
Who didn’t used to trip on all the little things
Baby I'm just sayin"
That change ain’t always healthy goes

I ain't gonna change (oh no)
Just being someone else is too damn hard
And I don't want you to change (oh no)
Cause I take you just the way you are
And ooh, I never wanted anything more
And I didn't understand before
But now I do
All that I ask is, just be you

I’m not tryna fight
I'm just tryna grow
But in my own time
And if you didn't know
I care
And I don't want nobody but you
You gotta let me love you
In the way I know
I never let you go
If you feel the same
Baby then I'll stay
But don't make me change

I ain't gonna change (oh no)
Just being someone else is too damn hard
And I don't want you to change (oh no)
Cause I take you just the way you are
And ooh, I never wanted anything more
And I didn't understand before
But now I do
All that I ask is, just be you

I ain't gonna change
Baby hear me out
Girl you make my day
You had all my life
I gave everything
Just to make it right
I'm so tired of fighting
Every every every every night
Never wanted anything more
And I didn't understand it before
But now I do
All that I ask is, just be you
