Long gone and fallen down but I'm loving how it tastes I look around for desire, love run away Hold back, we're falling down, and I show you how it breaks If I can give it, I'll take it, all of the way And I've got a lot left to learn, babe You're nobody 'til somebody loves you It's hard times when nobody wants you Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming Get up on top, I'll make it pop, honey You're nobody 'til somebody loves you It's a cold heart, when nobody holds you Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming Get up on top, I'll make it pop, honey A cold star coming down I was way off of the pace I waited long for the day, now the day comes for me When I look back we're falling out, you live with a break You'd always give it, I take it, all the way We've still got so much to learn, babe You're nobody 'til somebody loves you It's hard times when nobody wants you Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming Get up on top, I'll make it pop, honey You're nobody 'til somebody loves you It's a cold heart, when nobody holds you Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming Get up on top, I'll make it pop, honey Don't you stop me, I will get what's coming to me I am ready, baby, I will be somebody Don't you stop me, I will get what's coming to me I am ready, baby, I will be somebody You're nobody 'til somebody loves you It's hard times when nobody wants you Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming Get up on top, I'll make it pop, honey You're nobody 'til somebody loves you It's a cold heart, when nobody holds you Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming Get over top, I'll make it pop, honey
