Don't Judge Me
Chris Brown · Fortune [2012]
I don't wanna go there
We should never go there
Why you wanna go there
I guess I gotta go there
[Pre-Hook]
You're hearing rumours about me
And you can't stomach the thought
Of someone touching my body
When you so close to my heart
I won't deny what they saying
Because most of it is true
But it was all before I fell for you
[Hook]
So please babe
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul , let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul , let it be beautiful
[Verse 2]
Everything I say right now
Is gonna be use in another fight
And I've been through this so many times
Can we change the subject
You gonna start asking me questions like:
"Was she attractive? Was she an actress?"
Baby the fact is
[Pre-Hook]
You're hearing rumours about me
And saw some pictures online
Saying things, got you so angry
Making you wish you were mine
Before we start talking crazy
Saying some things we'll regret
Can we just slow it down and press reset
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Just left the past
Just be the past
And focused on things
That are gonna make us laugh
Take me as I am, love who I was
I'll promise I'll be, the one that you can trust
[Hook]
I don't wanna go there
We should never go there
Thanks to d
