Valorie Don't Beg Me

Verse 1

Valorie watching from the doorway

Lipstick smudged across her sleeve

She saw me hand another girl my jacket

Same move I ran on her last week

She don't scream she don't slam nothing

Just stands there like a ghost in my hall

I know that look I put it there myself

I built that crack inside her wall

Pre-Chorus

And she knows how this ends

She knows how this ends

Same story same spin

She knows how this ends

Chorus

Valorie don't beg me

Don't you get down on your knees

Valorie don't beg me

You can't bargain with a man like me

I keep the door wide open

But I never let you leave

Valorie don't beg me

Mercy ain't a thing I keep

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Let her fall

Oh-oh

Let her fall

Verse 2

She's counting all the women on my phone

Each one a mirror of her face

Trying to find the exit in the dark

But I built this place without a gate

She says love me just a little softer

Say the word and I'll be gone

But I taught her how to need the hurt

Now she can't tell the wound from the song

Pre-Chorus

And she knows how this ends

She knows how this ends

Same story same spin

She knows how this ends

Chorus

Valorie don't beg me

Don't you get down on your knees

Valorie don't beg me

You can't bargain with a man like me

I keep the door wide open

But I never let you leave

Valorie don't beg me

Mercy ain't a thing I keep

Bridge

Let me go let me go let me go

She keeps saying it like a prayer

Let me go let me go let me go

But my name is stitched in her hair

I could cut her loose tonight

I just like the way she stays

Something in me loves the sound

Of a heart that I can break

Chorus

Valorie don't beg me

Don't you get down on your knees

Valorie don't beg me

You can't bargain with a man like me

I keep the door wide open

But I never let you leave

Valorie don't beg me

Mercy ain't a thing I keep

Outro

Oh-oh

Let her fall

Oh-oh

Let her fall
