I can see it in your eyes

You don't even have to lie

Why can't you be yourself around me

I can feel it when we talk

You don't have to play it off

Why can't you be yourself around me





On the phone can't stop talkin

Tellin me about everything

Soon as I hit the sun and pop in

You roll up tinted windows on me

Don't wanna hold my hand in public

You're afraid your boys might see

Tryin so hard to prove them wrong

I gotta trust my instincts





I can see it in your eyes

You don't even have to lie

I don't understand

Why can't you be yourself around me

I can feel it when we talk

You don't have to play it off

I don't understand

Why can't you be yourself around me





I'm not lookin for a big time baller

I don't need no fairy tale

And I really don't wanna be bothered

If you can't be yourself

Everyone keeps saying that you feel me

And if that's really the case

You and me all the time baby

Now stop hidin' (Behind those shades)





I can see it in your eyes

You don't even have to lie

I don't understand

Why can't you be yourself around me

I can feel it when we talk

You don't have to play it off

I don't understand

Why can't you be yourself around me





Why can't you be yourself around me oh

I don't understand

Why can't you be why can't you be

Why can't you be yourself around me oh

I don't understand

Why can't you be why can't you be





I can see it in your eyes

You don't even have to lie

I don't understand

Why can't you be yourself around me

I can feel it when we talk

You don't have to play it off

I don't understand

Why can't you be yourself around me
