[Verse 1] Why do you wanna bring me down? Why do you get the best of me I'm thinking about the way things are. This is not the way that it should be If you don't like the way I walk, the way I talk, or comb my hair Then why do you tell me you love me? Why do you feel the need to be there I don't need this You're not what I believed in [Verse 2] You can't let me stand on my own. Let me walk out the front door all alone It's your kind of love that's killing me. It's breaking me down, making me bleed. I don't need this You're not what I believed in [Chorus] And I'm standing up, that's what I need One of us to believe in me I got a good thing going on, I know it's real It's a heart of gold, baby, It's the real deal. [Verse 3] Why do you wanna keep me down? Why do you have to have control? I'm looking at the state that we're living in. baby It's time for you to let go. You tell me you want me the way I am. What's in my head, what's in my heart. Tonight, you'll tell me you're sorry. Tomorrow, you'll tear my world apart. I don't need this You're not what I believed in [Chorus] And I'm standing up, that's what I need One of us to believe in me I got a good thing going on, I know it's real It's a heart of gold, baby, it's the real deal I've made mistakes where I know I've grown You mentally obsess, you can't leave me alone I loved you, yes, that's the way it is if this is what I get, then I don't need this Chorus] And I'm standing up, that's what I need One of us to believe in me I got a good thing going on, I know it's real It's a heart of gold, baby, it's the real deal I've made mistakes where I know I've grown You mentally obsess, you can't leave me alone I loved you, yes, that's the way it is if this is what I get, then I don't need this
