[Intro] Ladies want… (mmm) Ladies want… (yeah) Don’t make me— Don’t make me— ⸻ [Verse 1] Don’t make me cry, don’t make me feel Don’t twist my heart just for the thrill We done with games, we cut the deal Ladies don’t chase — ladies want real No more “maybe,” no more late No more crumbs up on my plate You say love but hesitate I’m not the one you underrate ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You step inside my garden, baby move with care Petals soft and open, but there’s danger there ⸻ [Chorus] Ladies want love that’s solid, not pretend Ladies want truth, don’t break, don’t bend Don’t want no side piece boys for thrills We just want mmm mmm — something real Don’t make me cry, don’t make me feel alone Don’t build me up just to dethrone If you step into my garden — understand I bloom soft, but I don’t land ⸻ [Verse 2] Ladies swapped flowers, grew our own Watered wounds nobody’s known Now we shine in skin we’ve sewn You don’t get access to the throne No more half-love, no more lies See right through your alibis If you want me, rise or rise— No more boys in a disguise ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] When you touch me gently, know what you’ve found Heaven in my softness, fire underground ⸻ [Chorus] Ladies want love that’s solid, not pretend Ladies want truth, don’t break, don’t bend Don’t want no side piece boys for thrills We just want mmm mmm — something real Don’t make me cry, don’t make me feel alone Don’t build me up just to dethrone If you step into my garden — understand I bloom soft, but I don’t land ⸻ [Bridge] Watch out for my thorns (yeah) Watch out for my horns (oh) I’ve been soft before — not anymore You want heaven? Earn the door I’ve been less, I’m less no more Say you love me — prove the core ⸻ [Break / Chant Hook] Ladies want… real love Ladies want… enough Ladies want… no games Say my name — mean my name ⸻ [Final Chorus] Ladies want love that’s solid, not pretend Ladies want truth that don’t just end Don’t want no side piece boys for thrills We just want mmm mmm — something real Don’t make me cry, don’t make me feel alone Don’t build me up just to dethrone If you step into my garden — understand I bloom soft… but I command
