[Intro] (Yeah) (Listen to me, girl) Sit down with me right here Just listen for a second [Verse 1] You sitting on these stoop steps crying Another guy left you in the dark I sat beside you, I held your hand While he went and broke your heart I stayed quiet for way too long Watching you fall for the wrong ones You deserve somebody real, girl And I been here since day one [Pre-Chorus] I can't just stand around no more Watching you bleed out on the floor Let me step up and take the key To the heart that belongs to me [Chorus] Give me a chance to love you right (Love you right, girl) I'm reaching out for what we built inside (Built inside) From best friends to the only one We ain't over, we just begun Give me a chance tonight Give me a chance tonight (Give me a chance tonight) [Verse 2] Remember playing on this block back then We laughed through every summer storm Now I'm sitting right beside you, baby Trying to keep your cold heart warm Forget those fools who threw you away I know your worth, I know your style I just wanna be the reason That brings back your pretty smile [Pre-Chorus] I can't just stand around no more Watching you bleed out on the floor Let me step up and take the key To the heart that belongs to me [Chorus] Give me a chance to love you right (Love you right, girl) I'm reaching out for what we built inside (Built inside) From best friends to the only one We ain't over, we just begun Give me a chance tonight Give me a chance tonight Give me a chance tonight (Give me a chance tonight) [Bridge] (Oh, yeah) We won't break what we got, I swear I'll protect you everywhere No more tears on these porch steps tonight Baby, let me make it right (Make it right, oh yeah) [Chorus] Give me a chance to love you right (Love you right, girl) I'm reaching out for what we built inside (Built inside) From best friends to the only one We ain't over, we just begun Give me a chance tonight [Chorus] Give me a chance to love you right Give me a chance tonight (Give me a chance tonight) [Outro] (Best friends forever, yeah) No more hurting, baby (Give me a chance) Right here on the porch steps Just you and me (Just you and me)
