Tough love
You keep on telling me lies I can fantasize, but know I
realize
You're still hungry for my love, but you should've ate huh,
huh
Tough love
I keep on (I keep on) letting you back (letting you back)
thats so whack
(thats so whack) but my heart attacks (but my heart attacks)
It don't matter what you do, never gon' get back with you,
so keep on
starvin' just to prove
Tough love
He said don't wear no tight shirts, tight skirts and don't
flirt be home by
eight I won't wait and don't make me bang on you
When I fell in love with you it was voodoo, I didn't know
the things that you
do
You said you'd always be there, always give a care, but
now you have no spirit
ain't no fair
Tough love
You keep on telling me lies I can fantasize, but know I
realize
You're still hungry for my love, but you should've ate huh,
huh
Tough love
I keep on (I keep on) letting you back (letting you back)
thats so whack
(thats so whack) but my heart attacks (but my heart attacks)
It don't matter what you do, never gon' get back with you,
so keep on
starvin' just to prove
Tough love
I was so beady eyed, I'm too shy, I just won't fight and
let you tell me off
on and all around, one day I'll leave and never be found
I'll pack my bags, be out, say please, you never knew I'd
leave so weak
If you coulda, shoulda, woulda been a real man to stay with
you I do all that
I can
Bridge-
Let me tell you what I mean when I say that I watched you
plead away from me
And you really, really gonna be starvin' baby
Now you wanna get back with me you have you friends keep
pagin' me, but this
star athlete can take his cletes and run
Tough love
You keep on telling me lies I can fantasize, but know I
realize
You're still hungry for my love, but you should've ate huh,
huh
Tough love
I keep on (I keep on) letting you back (letting you back)
thats so whack
(thats so whack) but my heart attacks (but my heart attacks)
It don't matter what you do, never gon' get back with you,
so keep on
starvin' just to prove
Tough love
Rap-
It's 365, 52, then 7, I 'm the closest you can get without
dyin' and goin' to heaven
I was you caramel kisses and your chocolate eclairs, but
you still lyin'
telling friends you saw my underwear
When the waitress asks you for your order, you checking
me, slim fem', brown
skin, but there is much, much more to me
What you want from me, who you want me to be, but I can
clearly see you love
is no purpose it's on B.D.
Bridge-
Let me tell you what I mean when I say that I watched you
plead away from me
And you really, really gonna be starvin' baby
Now you wanna get back with me you have you friends keep
pagin' me, but this
star athlete can take his cletes and run
Tough love
You keep on telling me lies I can fantasize, but know I
realize
You're still hungry for my love, but you should've ate huh,
huh
Tough love
I keep on (I keep on) letting you back (letting you back)
thats so whack
(thats so whack) but my heart attacks (but my heart attacks)
It don't matter what you do, never gon' get back with you,
so keep on
starvin' just to prove
