    Lyrics /
    [Verse 1]
    I’ve been chilling for a minute
    And I see people switching up
    And tryna dim my light
    They start to question why I’m running ‘round
    Runnin’ up and down, doing fine
    Can’t nobody tell me how to do it
    Oh, I’m gonna love me loud
    Became a habit, now I harmonise
    With the thoughts from my paradigm
    [Pre-Chorus]
    See, all you gotta do
    Is ask and then believe the loving in you
    The love is in you
    See, all you gotta do
    Is kill the enemy that lies within you
    That’s the only thing to do
    [Chorus]
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, boy, I love me too”
    They know I do
    You know I do
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, baby boy, I know you love, I love me too”
    You know I do
    You better love me like I do
    [Post-Chorus]
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    [Verse 2]
    I say it and I mean it and I know that you believe it, better wait in line
    Yet to discover that I’m only mine
    Gotta focus, gotta stay aligned
    I give in little pieces, never taking, always leave them w a thought in mind
    They start to crave you in the late night
    They always call me past my bedtime
    [Pre-Chorus]
    See, all you gotta do
    Is ask and then believe the loving in you
    The love is in you
    See, all you gotta do
    Is kill the enemy that lies within you
    That’s the only thing to do
    [Chorus]
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, boy, I love me too”
    They know I do
    You know I do
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, baby boy, I know you love, I love me too”
    You know I do
    You better love me like I do
    [Post-Chorus]
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    [Bridge]
    I told the stars all about me
    Shining so bright, I see clearly
    Don’t know what’s taken me so long (So long)
    I learned and I let it go
    Trust me, I pay no attention
    I do not care what they saying
    Don’t need to make conversation
    ‘Cause I learned and I let it go
    [Chorus]
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, boy, I love me too”
    They know I do
    You know I do
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, baby boy, I know you love, I love me too”
    You know I do
    You better love me like I do
    [Post-Chorus]
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”

    *Ok, so this was recommended to me by TH-cam. I don't even watch a whole lot of RnB videos but every now and then I'll give it a look to see if there's any changes to the current sound/style. I'm not really into many of the current hip hop and RnB artists because a lot of it sounds alike and not interesting enough for me within the melodies. But I clicked on this one because the thumbnail drew me in. And I must say, this woman has something in her character/personality while I was watching that says "Star Power" and "Potential Legend." Not sure what it is but the video was very well suited to the attitude of the song and the energy she giving off. I'm HERE for it!!*

      You listening to the wrong hip hop and r&b then. A lot of it actually sounds like THIS right now if you know who to look out for. Some call it alt R&B, RnegB, Contemporary soul, Contemporary hip hop, and a bit of slow EDM. We got Solange, Luke James, Lute, St. Beauty, OSHUN, Devonte Hynes, Earthgang, The Internet, Chloe x Halle, Sango, Kimbra, Jamila Woods, Jorja Smith, Willow, Lianne La Havas, Ari Lennox, Kilo Kish, Joji, Banks, Amber Mark, Jidenna, FKA Twigs, SZA, Kelsey Lu, Yuna, Miguel, Frank Ocean,H.E.R, Childish Gambino, and much much more that I don't have the time of patience to continue listing here.

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    I’ve been chilling for a minute
    And I see people switching up
    And tryna dim my light
    They start to question why I’m running ‘round
    Runnin’ up and down, doing fine
    Can’t nobody tell me how to do it
    Oh, I’m gonna love me loud
    Became a habit, now I harmonise
    With the thoughts from my paradigm
    [Pre-Chorus]
    See, all you gotta do
    Is ask and then believe the loving in you
    The love is in you
    See, all you gotta do
    Is kill the enemy that lies within you
    That’s the only thing to do
    [Chorus]
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, boy, I love me too”
    They know I do
    You know I do
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, baby boy, I know you love, I love me too”
    You know I do
    You better love me like I do
    [Post-Chorus]
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    [Verse 2]
    I say it and I mean it and I know that you believe it, better wait in line
    Yet to discover that I’m only mine
    Gotta focus, gotta stay aligned
    I give in little pieces, never taking, always leave them w a thought in mind
    They start to crave you in the late night
    They always call me past my bedtime
    [Pre-Chorus]
    See, all you gotta do
    Is ask and then believe the loving in you
    The love is in you
    See, all you gotta do
    Is kill the enemy that lies within you
    That’s the only thing to do
    [Chorus]
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, boy, I love me too”
    They know I do
    You know I do
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, baby boy, I know you love, I love me too”
    You know I do
    You better love me like I do
    [Post-Chorus]
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    Nobody can love me like I love me, love me, love me like I do
    He said, “I love you,” I said, “Thank you, baby, I love me too”
    [Bridge]
    I told the stars all about me
    Shining so bright, I see clearly
    Don’t know what’s taken me so long (So long)
    I learned and I let it go
    Trust me, I pay no attention
    I do not care what they saying
    Don’t need to make conversation
    ‘Cause I learned and I let it go
    [Chorus]
    He said he love me
    I said, “Thank you, boy, I love me too”
    They know I do
    You know I do
    He said he love me
