**(Verse 1)**
I've been walking these streets with an empty hand
Heart on my sleeve, but nobody understands
Three long years, yeah, the nights feel cold
Lonely as hell, and I'm getting bold

I've been patient, Lord knows I tried
But the clock keeps ticking, and I'm tired of hiding
So listen close, baby, hear what I say
If you're feeling something, don't throw it away

**(Chorus)**
If you want me, you better get me
Before somebody else does
I've been lonely as hell for over three years now
And I ain't waiting just because
If you want me, you better get me
Before somebody else does
Tell me now, or let me go
'Cause my heart ain't yours to hold

**(Verse 2)**
I ain't playing no games, no back and forth
No mixed-up signals, no second thoughts
I ain't dealing with drama, excuses, or lies
If you're in, then be in—look me in the eyes

I've got fire left, but it won't burn slow
If you're hesitating, baby, I gotta know
'Cause time don't wait, and neither will I
Tomorrow's coming—decide tonight

**(Chorus)**
If you want me, you better get me
Before somebody else does
I've been lonely as hell for over three years now
And I ain't waiting just because
If you want me, you better get me
Before somebody else does
Tell me now, or let me go
'Cause my heart ain't yours to hold

**(Bridge)**
I ain't perfect, no, I got my scars
But I'm worth the risk if you're ready to start
If you wait too long, you'll miss your chance
And I'll be dancing in somebody else's hands
So don't look back wondering "what if" one day
The door's open now—but it won't stay

**(Final Chorus)**
If you want me, you better get me
Before somebody else does
I've been lonely as hell for over three years now
And I'm done waiting just because
If you want me, then tell me right now
Before somebody else does
Either step up or step aside
'Cause I'm moving on with or without you tonight

**(Outro)**
Yeah, if you want me...
You better tell me now.
