We're too young for these incidents
Wore my heart on my sleeve too long
Going through heartbreak won't be too long
She's got my name tatted on her wrist
I don't know why something's wrong with this
This burning love, I ain't seen before
And I don't know if I can handle it anymore (oh, no)
Just would you let me know (oh)
I can't take heartbreak for oh so long (ooh, yeah)
Lil' baby, won't you let me know (yeah)
'Cause I'm still stuck on you, ooh-woah, oh, oh
