What's it gonna take
What do I gotta do
What's it gonna take
For you to recognize
For you to recognize me
For you to recognize
For you to recognize me
Stop taking me for granted baby
The things you say are like a barrel to my brain
You just don't seem to understand it baby
I don't think you'll ever feel my pain
Why you gotta do me
The way you do me
You know you doing me dirty
Why you gotta do me
The way you do me
You know you doing me dirty
Why you gotta do me
The way you do me
You know you doing me dirty
What's it gonna take
What do I gotta do
What's it gonna take
For you to recognize
For you to recognize me
What's it gonna take
Bending over backwards everyday, to try and give you what you ask for
Gave up everything for you, more than you ever asked for
Know you tired of the struggle, life feel like a crash course
Knew what we signed up for, and life don't have no fast forward
You gotta go through pressure to become a diamond
Don't you wanna shine bright like a diamond baby
This goes to show there is no such thing as perfect timing
But it was the time of my life, so tell me
What's it gonna take
What do I gotta do
What's it gonna take
For you to recognize
For you to recognize me
What's it gonna take
What do I gotta do
For you to recognize me
Bending over backwards everyday, to try and give you what you ask for
Gave up everything for you, more than you ever asked for
Know you tired of the struggle, life feel like a crash course
Knew what we signed up for, and life don't have no fast forward
You gotta go through pressure to become a diamond
Don't you wanna shine bright like a diamond baby
This goes to show there is no such thing as perfect timing
But it was the time of my life, so tell me
What's it gonna take
What do I gotta do
What's it gonna take
For you to recognize
For you to recognize me
What's it gonna take
What do I gotta do
For you to recognize me
