You know you love me, I know you care
You shout whenever, and I'll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying
Said there's another and look right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
Justin Bieber
