Sometimes lyrics
by James Ingram
[Verse 1]
The way I love too much and I give too much
And ya take so much 'til I ain't got nothin'
And your energy, how it weighs on me
Steady drainin' me until I'm empty
Wantin' better days and all your crazy ways
Am I lovin' you in vain? Somebody help me
I don't need negativity
I just need some clarity
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna love you
Sometimes I wanna hate you
Sometimes I wanna grab you and pull you close
And tell you I love you and push you away
Oh, oh boy, I wanna love you
And sometimes I wanna fight you
And God knows that it ain't right to
I tell you I'm leavin' and then I stay
Oh, sometimes
[Verse 2]
Now I give my all every time you fall
I'm right there whenever you need me
That's when I'm positive you're insensitive
And just knowing this, I'm uneasy
Don't appreciate sacrifice I made
Money that I threw away, not a dime on me
But all I see is negativity
I think I'm getting clarity
Am I asking too much?
When I need for you to hold me just to make me feel better
Am I asking too much?
When I'm asking for the little things you do to bring me laughter
Am I asking too much?
I can't wait another minute 'cause I'm runnin' on empty
When I long for your touch
Your touch, your touch, your touch, your touch
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna love you
And sometimes I wanna hate you
Sometimes I wanna grab you and pull you close
And tell you I love you and push you away
Oh, oh boy, I wanna love you
And sometimes I wanna fight you
(I wanna fight you right now)
And God knows that it ain't right to (Oh, oh)
I tell you I'm leavin' and then I stay
Oh, sometimes
[Bridge]
I wanna make-believe
Hard to believe
I wanna stretch my arms and I fall to my knees
That's when the heavens open up and pour a blessing on me
Sometimes, sometimes, oh, you make me so mad
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna love you (I wanna love you)
Sometimes I wanna hate you
Sometimes I wanna grab you and pull you close
(Oh, then you make me so mad, I wanna)
And tell you I love you and push you away
Oh, oh boy (Oh boy), I wanna love you
And sometimes I wanna fight you
(Wanna fight you right now)
And God knows that it ain't right to (Oh)
I tell you I'm leavin' and then I stay
(I wanna make-believe)
Oh, sometimes
[Outro]
I can't wait another minute 'cause I'm runnin' on empty
