Verse
Back then when I was a new youngie
Surely you were tryna run on me
I've been, I been going on my own
I've been, I been doing things unknown
Since the day one you running right back
Save the drama you running off track
Is a one life, you tell me one life
One time you tell me one chance
Open your eyes, open your eyes, babe
Can you be wise
Cause you're my pride, babe
I'm on the way, I'm on the run, babe
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Take it back now
I put you on there
Say you wan chance to hold it on me
I finna hold it back
Turn you right round
Taking my way
Chorus
So tell me what you need from me now
I'm not what you need to be now
Cause I'm done with it now
No more damages now
Said tell me what you need from me now
I'm not what you need to be now
Cause I'm done with it now
No more damages no no
No more damage
Verse
Back then when I was a baby girl
I was yours and you were my world
Tell me what you wanna do for me now
Take it down and I'll hold you
To run my race
Could you run it right there
Run my race
Could you take it right there
I've been down
I've been running right there
I've been out
Could you take it back there
Pull up tonight I might be risky
But Mr Man forget the whiskey
But you still wanna get back with me
You tryna be the one I deal with
Don't call my phone, you're not a mad man
You missed the way, Inna the one chance
I live my life don't need you with me
Yeah yeah
Chorus
So tell me what you need from me now
I'm not what you need to be now
Cause I'm done with it now
No more damages now
Said tell me what you need from me now
You're not where I need to be now
Cause I'm done with it now
No more damages no no
