What's The Matter Baby
I know the reason you've been cryin', oh yeah
And I heard he won't be meeting you
How does it feel being the one left behind
What's the matter, baby, is it hurtin' you
Iknow (I know) you found out he's been cheatin' (I know), oh yeah
And I heard he even told you that he was untrue
How does it feel (feel now) he's on the outside lookin' in
What's the matter, baby, is it hurtin' you
(Remember) Remember when I needed you so bad
(Remember) Remember what you had to say
You told me that I should find another shoulder to cry on
Then you laughed (you laughed) ya laughed and ya walked away
Iknow (I know) that you been askin' 'bout me (I know) Oh yeah, (I know)
But I'm sorry but I've found somebody new
And my hurtin' is just about over, oh yeah
But, baby, It's just startin' for you
Oh, what's the matter, baby
Is it hurtin' you, girl
Oh, what's the matter, baby
Is it hurtin' you
(What's the matter, what's the matter)
Just think of when you hurt me, girl
What's the matter, what's the matter, baby
(What's the matter, what's the matter)
