Meka Shanté - Under Construction Lyrics

You say I'm tripping
I say misunderstood
If you were in my position
I don't think you could
Even last a second
Without the second guessing
You say it's insecure
Nope, It's just I've learned my lesson
Bout jumping in too soon
And trusting niggas blindly
Had my heart broken before
Now I don't take that shit lightly
And I know it's not your fault
Just a chain reaction
So call it what you want
I call it my protection

And oh these walls
They gon' take some breaking down
If you ain't up for job babe
Please let me know right now
And oh this love
It's gon' take some building up
It's a team effort so baby
Won't you let me know what's up

Under construction
I'm remodeling
Under construction
Gotta repair my heart
Under construction
Are you here to help me build
Under construction
And I know I'm not perfect
I'm under construction

You say I can trust you
But how can I be sure
When I've heard that same old line
One too many times before
Maybe you'll be different
But it'll take some time for me
To fully let my guard down
And give you a chance to be
No it won't always be easy
In life ain't nothing perfect
I just need your patience
Promise it'll all be worth it
All I ask is that you're faithful
And treat me with respect
And imma match your effort
And do the same right back

And oh these walls
They gon' take some breaking down
If you ain't up for job babe
Please let me know right now
And oh this love
It's gon' take some building up
It's a team effort so baby
Won't you let me know what's up

Under construction
I'm remodeling
Under construction
Gotta repair my heart
Under construction
Are you here to help me build
Under construction
And I know I'm not perfect
I'm under construction
