It's funny how the hours last, some go slow and some go fast
You never know what you gonna get 'till you look into your past
There's a whole world out there for you to have but it seems
Your heart's been cut in half, splittin' hairs into perfect pairs
Wonderin' if you do or don't care about me or you

Please, tell me what you plan to do
Your life is your's to rearrange
But whether you break my heart or stake a claim
Has a lot to do with us, it takes two to make some love
One to make a fuss, three to give a reason not to trust

The way that you been livin', is it the **** you give
Or the **** you've been given that I should take?
I don't know 'cause I can't quite tell which way you bendin'
You got me loosendin'

Tie me off, cut your loss
Tell me now or I'll go off
I'm loosendin'
Tie me off, cut your loss
Tell me now or I'll go off
I'm loosendin', loosending

There's plenty of reasons I can think off
For you and me to motivate a love
Instead of putting things on hold 'cause all I want to hold is you
It's just a matter of time before we're old and gray
And our hearts and minds both go their separate ways

And I hope you have something to say before that day
Besides the same old, I don't know and I don't mind
Try asking me some other time, nod once for yes
And for no just nod your head two times
And I'll be fine or not so fine, depending

Tie me off, cut your loss
Tell me now or I'll go off
I'm loosendin'
Tie me off, cut your loss
Tell me now or I'll go off
I'm loosendin', loosending

Yeah, I know you see a lot of jerks but inside this loser
A love alerts, hiddin' kisses filled with fireworks
I want to be more than a friend with perks, I want benefits
I want a pension plan, I want to know if you even give a damn
If I could kiss your cheek or hold your hand in public

You know, I'd love it if you would tell me without a doubt
That you were checking instead of checkin' out
All the other boys on the avenue
Don't you know they only after you for one thing?
And if that's what you want, baby, I'd be happy to give it
But the difference between me and them
Is that mine would have some love in it

Tie me off, cut your loss
Tell me now or I'll go off
I'm loosendin'
Tie me off, cut your loss
Tell me now or I'll go off
I'm loosendin', loosending
