  • (But nobody's gonna make you change)
    (What you probably don't like anyway)
    ('Bout you darling, so you might as well, mm)
    (Be somebody who can make you face)
    (What you're guarding)
    (Open up the gates where your heart is)
    (And just let yourself, mm)

    Yeah, I'm on the stage right now
    Singin' your favorite song
    Look in the crowd
    And you're nowhere to be found as they sing along
    I say you look good without no makeup
    No lashes, even better when you wake up
    Uh-uh-uh

    I see the look on your face
    I see you hidin' the hate
    I see you lookin' for someone to scoop you right off of your feet
    You wanna ride in a Wraith
    You wanna go out on dates
    You want somebody to come bring you flowers
    Someone to talk to for hours
    Wash your back while y'all sit in the shower, uh
    Someone to tell you, "You're beautiful"
    Someone to tell you and mean it
    Someone to tell you, "I love you" every day
    And don't got a-
    You want someone to bring you peace, uh
    Someone to help you sleep, yeah
    Someone to pick you up when you're feelin' down, feelin' lonely

    Need somebody who can make it better
    Somebody who can open up those gates
    Open up those gates to your heart
    Only if you'll let me

    I'm on the stage right now
    Singin' your favorite song
    Look in the crowd
    And you're nowhere to be found as they sing along
    I say you look good without no makeup
    No lashes even better when you wake up
    Uh-uh-uh

    I see the look on your face
    I see you lookin' for peace
    I see you're tired of the hurt
    Tired of the pain
    Tired of the nights where you can't get no sleep
    I see you're tired thinkin' 'bout if he cheat
    See you're tired thinkin' 'bout if you leavin'
    See you're tired of bein' so tired
    And you damn sure ain't gettin'-

    Need somebody
    Who can make it better
    Somebody
    Who can open up those gates
    Open up those gates to your heart
    Only if you'll let me

    I'm on the stage right now
    Singin' your favorite song
    Look in the crowd
    And you're nowhere to be found as they sing along
    I say you look good without no makeup
    No lashes even better when you wake up
    Uh-uh-uh

    I see you're lookin' for peace
    Tired of the nights where you can't get no sleep
    I see you tired thinkin' 'bout if you're leavin'
    And you're damn sure ain't gettin' even
    Be somebody
    Who can make you face what you're guardin'
    Open up the gates where your heart is
    And just be yourself Writer/s: Adelso Sicaju, Naujour Grainger, Tatiana Manaois
