Whaa?
I'm back
[verse1]
You don't say that I'm pretty
All these simple things
Adding up to big ones
There is where you messed up
No movies or flowers
Hours not knowing
Whereyou are or who you're with
There is where you messed up
[Chorus]
You keep on actin' like
I really need a brother
Man I don't need a brother
Better get you're ish together
Can't keep on holding on
Waitin'for you
And baby there is where you messed up
You keep on actin like
Ireally need a brother
Man I don't need a brother
Can't keep on holding on
Waiting for you
And baby there is where you messed up
You keep on actin' like
I really need a brother
Man I don't need a brother
Better get you're ish together
Can't keep on holding on
Waitin' for you
And baby there is where you messed up
[VERSE 2]
I don't need your money &no dinner
I got jewelry,winner to loser
And baby there is where you messed up
You take me for granted
And expect me to stay right here
Andwait on you while you're having fun
There is where you messed up
(You keep on actin')
(I really need someone)
(Can't keep on holding on yeah)
(You you you yeah)
You keep on actin' like

Better get you're ish together
Can't keep on holdin on
Waitin for you
And baby there is where you messed up
You keep on actin'like

Better get you're ish together
Can't keep on holding on
Waitin' for you
And baby there is where you messed up
?You heading straight for the gate?
Time to cut my dead weight to you
And baby there is where you messed up
I heard itall a thousand times
Tried to mess with my mind but you
And baby there is where you messed up
