I'm feeling R&B tonight

try as I might, I don't think that I could
do anything more, and if I did, it wouldn't
change the way
my heart moves when I think of you

it's not that I think there's anything more to gain
by trying harder, to come up with some game
to keep you
try to stop you from running away

but baby, it's just the way it is
a reflection of the love I wanted to give
and receive from you, a loving place to be in
a place we've needed
for a long time, from the beginning

so i'm giving it up the best that i can
can't pretend it away, not that kind of man
who can just ignore the memory of your hand
here in mine
with a squeeze to tell me you understand

but baby, it's just the way it is
a reflection of the love I wanted to give
and receive from you, a loving place to be in
a place we've needed
for a long time, from the beginning
