[Intro]
Ooh-woo (Ooh)
Woo
Woo (Ooh)
Ah
[Chorus]
Why you wanna fight with me, baby?
Wouldn't you rather make love tonight?
Tell me why you wanna fight with me, baby?
Let me show you I can make it right, oh
[Verse 1]
You want me knockin' on the door, cryin' in the rain
Babygirl, for you, I'll do all them things
(I'm beggin') I'm beggin', baby (Beggin', don't go)
I'm beggin', don't go, baby, no, no, no
I've apologized, but you keep goin' on
Ain't too proud to say it, I admit, I was wrong
Stop playin' with me, come back home
[Chorus]
Why you wanna fight with me, baby? (Why you wanna fight?)
Wouldn't you rather make love tonight? (Sweet love)
Tell me why you wanna fight with me, baby? (Why you wanna fight?)
Let me show you I can make it right, oh-oh-oh

Just run into my arms, let's just start again
Girl, I'll call your momma, plead with all your friends
(I'll do it) Yes, I will (Do it for us)
Oh, I'll do it for us 'cause enough is enough
We can work this out, don't say that it's through
You may hatе me now, but I never stoppеd lovin' you
That's what we're not gon' do
[Chorus]
Why you wanna fight with me, baby? (Why you wanna fight?)

[Coro]
¿Por qué quieres pelear conmigo, cariño?
¿No preferirías hacer el amor esta noche?
Dime por qué quieres pelear conmigo, cariño
Déjame mostrarte que puedo hacerlo bien, oh
[Verso 1]
Quieres que toque a la puerta, llorando bajo la lluvia
Nena, por ti haría todas esas cosas
(Te lo ruego) Te lo ruego, cariño (Ruego, no te vayas)
Te lo ruego, no te vayas, cariño, no, no, no
Me he disculpado, pero tú sigues adelante
No soy demasiado orgulloso para decirlo, admito que me equivoqué
Deja de jugar conmigo, vuelve a casa
[Coro]

[Verso 2]
Solo corre hacia mis brazos, comencemos de nuevo
Nena, llamaré a tu mamá, rogaré a todos tus amigos
(Lo haré) Sí, lo haré (Lo haré por nosotros)
Oh, lo haré por nosotros porque ya es suficiente
Podemos resolver esto, no digas que se acabó
Puedes odiarme ahora, pero nunca dejé de amarte
Eso es lo que no vamos a hacer
