Breakup 2 Makeup
Ashanti · Chapter II
It brought out all these feelings that I never knew I had inside
Seeing you with another girl, it didn't sit with me too well
And I'm mad at myself cuz I love you and with or without you I'm going through hell
CHORUS
I don't think that I could shake ya
So baby, can we make up
I know that this is kind of crazy
But baby, I wanna make up
I never knew I could love you, how I love you
I thought that I was through with you, so glad that I could be single
Now I'm caught thinkin' 'bout my past, and wish that we could just go back
And I'm mad at myself cuz I love you and I really want you to come on back
CHORUS
I don't know if I'm crazy, but all the pain and the heartache you gave me
That only made me...wanna get back with you oohwoah
You held her hand, the way you held mine
You felt her uhhh, the way you felt mine
And all that fightin' that we went through, see I was already used to it
CHORUS
ooh no, no, no, ohoh
I don't know what ya did to me boy
But I want you to come...
Come back now or I'll go crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
