Tearing Me Up - Bob Moses

Let me tell you about a little situation

It's been testin' my patience, man

She was keepin' me up all night

'Cause you only get so far readin' faces

We were off to the races

And I thought to myself, "Hold tight"

You see there was just this one complication

She was already taken

And what was so wrong felt so right

She said, "No need to be lookin' over your shoulder

When you could just come over

And we could work this out just fine"

I don't know what you want from me

So careless in my company

Oh, if all that you say is true

There'll be no gettin' over you

Slow me down, playin' by your rules

If you're a joker, then I'm a fool

I guess there's no catchin' up to you

If you don't want my affection

Don't lie, you're tearin' me up

'Cause you've got all my attention

I won't lie, you're tearin' me up

And I'm tryin' to tell your intention

When you lie, you're tearin' me up

If you don't want my affection

You won't mind, you're tearin' me up

It all started with a simple conversation

It was all in the makin', man

She was talkin' me up all night

Kept askin' if I was only fakin'

She was there for the takin'

Showin' me that she was all mine

She told me she lived just around the corner

I wanted to know her

Yeah, she was making me lose my mind

I didn't know quite what I was chasin'

She had my heart racin'

And all it took was just one night

I don't know what you want from me

So careless in my company

Oh, if all that you say is true

There'll be no gettin' over you

Slow me down, playin' by your rules

If you're a joker, then I'm a fool

I guess there's no catchin' up to you

If you don't want my affection

Don't lie, you're tearin' me up

'Cause you've got all my attention

I won't lie, you're tearin' me up

And I'm tryin' to tell your intention

When you lie, you're tearin' me up

If you don't want my affection

You won't mind, you're tearin' me up

I don't know what you want from me

So careless in my company

Oh, if all that you say is true

There'll be no gettin' over you

Slow me down, playin' by your rules

If you're a joker, then I'm a fool

I guess there's no catchin' up to you

If you don't want my affection

Don't lie, you're tearin' me up

'Cause you've got all my attention

I won't lie, you're tearin' me up

And I'm tryin' to tell your intention

When you lie, you're tearin' me up

If you don't want my affection

You won't mind, you're tearin' me up
