Besedila: Angie Stone. The Art of Love and War. Half a Chance.

How do I explain myself?
Could it be written in a book, is it visual?
'Cause everything I'm doing, girl
It just don't seem to be enough

So what am I supposed to do?
How am I to show my love for you?
Everything I do, girl, it's all for you

Girl, give me half a chance
I'll give you what you've been missin' in a man
Girl, give me half a chance
I'll give you what you've been missin' in a man

You got your own set of rules
And I'm tired of learning from you
So excuse me while I get away
I'll be better off in my own space

Ain't it funny how, now that leaving
You wanna give me everything
But that's not how it's supposed to be

Maybe I'll give a chance
Takin' me all that I need in a man
What makes you think you can?
I need a reason

I'm already out the door
Ain't no need to say no more
'Cause I'm not whatcha lookin' for
And made that very clear
Oh the night you left me here
It was so obvious you didn't care

Baby, I don't know if you can trust
I'll do my best to make it up
Baby, please listen, don't fuss
I'll do whatever it will take
To make up for my mistake
I think it's time for us, babe

I know it seems like I'm beggin'
But I don't want you to slip away

Now ain't it funny when you learn
I should've been the one concernin'
All you wanna do now is conversate
When we already know it's too late

Girl, give me half a chance
I'll give you what you've been missin' in a man
What made you think you can
I need a reason to give you one more chance

If you don't make it back alright
I want to make you feel alright
If you don't make it back alright
I want to make you feel alright
If you don't make it back alright
I want to make you feel alright
