Can You Blame Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kehlani]
I need you here, my safe haven (Safe)
Rather go at it than not speak at all
How you made me feel, it was dangerous

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Oh, you know
I would rather argue than me sleep alone
Rather call you out than no one call my phone
Hold my grudge instead of havin' none to hold, none to hold


[Chorus: Kehlani]
Could you blame me for needing you?
You're the reason I got a weakness, oh, no
You drive me crazy, still that's my baby
Can't get enough of you
Baby, it's somethin' that you do
Can't get enough of you
Baby, it's somethin' that you do

[Verse 2: Lucky Daye]
I say it umpteen times
You think I'ma leave, but I'm never gonna jump sides
We been on a rough ride
Still ride shotty with a nigga through the long nights
And it's always two rights
Playin' games with our hands tied
Who else can I confide in?
Don't want a war, tryna win a fight in here, you got it
[Verse 3: Kehlani]
Blowin' my phone up
Hopin' you decide to just show up
Rather say it all to your face
I'd rather we act like grown ups
Sometimes, I block all your calls
You start hittin' my girls up
Talkin' 'bout, "Where's my baby?"
And that's when I soften up

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Yeah, you know
I would rather argue than me sleep alone
Rather call you out than no one call my phone
Hold my grudge instead of havin' none to hold, none to hold

[Chorus: Kehlani]
Could you blame me for needing you?
You're the reason I got a weakness, oh, no
You drive me crazy, still that's my baby
Can't get enough of you
Baby, it's somethin' that you do
Can't get enough of you
Baby, it's somethin' that you do

[Outro: Kehlani]
You're the only one for me, only one for me, oh
Only one for me, only one for me, yeah
Only one for me, only one for me, oh
