[Fm] They! Lemme tell you no

Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed, I lay with nothing but your t-shirt on, ooh
With nothing but your t-shirt on, hey
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong
But I'm really hurting now that you're gone
I thought maybe I'd do some shopping
But I couldn't get past the door and
Know I don't know, now I don't know
If I'm ever really gon' let you go
And I couldn't even leave my apartment
I'm stripped down, torn up about it

In bed, I lay, hey, hey
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Tryna dress up when I'm missing you ('cause I miss you)
I'ma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes (unless you do)
In bed, I lay with nothing but your t-shirt on
Said I got nothing but your t-shirt on ('cause I want to be close to you)
