Don't be afraid

What I need is for you to smarten up
'Cause what I need is for you to suck up

Nobody wants you, the way I want you, babe, I do
Nobody flaunts you, the way I flaunt you, babe, I do
Nobody haunts you, not like I do, baby, I do
Nobody taunts you, not like I, not like I

Don't be afraid, try to understand me
Don't be afraid, open your heart abandon

"Okay, like what is up with this guy - he keeps screwing up!"
"I know, I'm in the hospital, he doesn't call, doesn't buy me flowers, doesn't even let me slap him for it ... what an asshole."
"Damn!"
"He's gotta smarten up 'cause.."

What I need is for you to smarten up
'Cause what I need is for you to suck up

Nobody needs you, not like I need you, babe, I do
Nobody reads you, not like I do, baby, I do
Nobody bleeds you, not like I cut you, babe, in two
Nobody feeds you, not like I, not like I

Don't be afraid, try to understand me
Don't be afraid, open your heart abandon
Don't be afraid, try, just try now
Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid.
