Don't Judge Me

Chris Brown · Fortune [2012]

[Verse 1]

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
