I know that I got my issues,
but you got your issues too
Hate that I know I'd miss you
if I were to cut you loose
I need your validation and you use
that to keep me on lock
Sometimes I dream of freedom
but we both know we'll never stop
Don't, don't love me hard,
love me gentle (Love me gentle)
Don't love me hard, love me special (Special)
Oh, I wish you cared for my mental
And loved me gentle, gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle
I'm always tryna please ya no matter what the cost
Break myself into pieces,
tally up the love and lost
Truth is you're the reason
why I put up with the sleepless nights
I believe that you could when you try,
that's why I'm hopin' you
Don't, don't love me hard,
love me gentle (Love me gentle)
Don't love me hard, love me special (Special)
Oh, I wish you cared for my mental
And loved me gentle, gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, love me gentle
Oh-eh-eh-eh, loved me gentle
Can't you be good to me?
'Cause I've been so good to you, I
