If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby
Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around
Anything that I want I can get it, boy
You know you turn me on and on
That's why I switched my frame of mind
To be there when you call, always on time
I'm lookin' to spread my wings and party
Everything and for everybody
I need my space, my time alone
It's like our hearts don't match no more
Still anything that you want, you can get it, boy
You know I still got love for you
In court I plea the 5th
Now baby
Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around
When you was cheatin' you was probably thinkin' I won't sense a thing, but love
got a funny way of catching up to lies and your lies can't look me straight in
the eyes
I'm not surprised
You hurt me, baby
but why me, baby
Just let me breathe and I'll fly free baby
If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby
Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around
Yo', yo'
Why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl
Is there somethin' I did
The truth feels better than wats here at home
And I know a bitch can do bad on her own
You're not alone the way you hurt me, baby
Shit why me, baby
I'll feel your pain
But little did I know that love is real
And as long as I let you go
That you'll feel the need to come back to me, baby
Who else can hold you and sex you crazy
R-U-L-E
Come back and holler at me, baby
Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around
Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around
If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby
