And now I got to back this thing on up, babe
I was just a touch away
Another personality
Till you lost my trust
Riding in my gators sittin' on my things
From playing the fool for you
When all the time you was just try-na trap me
You were almost in
From playing the fool for you
Till you lost my trust
I was just a touch away
I was on my way
Drinking and smoking up all my weed
Just about to take control
And now I got to back this thing on up
To getting close to you
Till you lost my trust
From playing the fool for you
To putting karats in your ring
Until I peeped your card
Till you lost my trust
Until you opened up my eyes
Till you lost my trust
When it comes to love you just don't get it
I was just that close
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe
I was just a touch away
Now that I know it was all an act
Till you lost my trust
Till you lost my trust
From playing the fool for you
You were inches from the room
I was just a touch away
And now I got to back this thing on up
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe
Now I wanna get tight like the harmonies
What made you think you could lie to me?
About to take you home with me
From playing the fool for you
Baby and get away with it
And now I got to back this thing on up
I was just a touch away
I was just a touch away
Till you lost my trust
All you wanna do is just scheme, scheme, scheme
Until you flipped the script on me
Trying to get rooted like the ground and trees
Closer, and closer, and closer to me
I was just a touch away
Come back down to reality
Now you threw it before you started baby
From playing the fool for you
And showed me your other side
From playing the fool for you
From playing the fool for you
I got to get that bracelet back

I was just a touch away
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe
