Tell me what did I do
To make you hate me so much
Why you angry all the time?
Why you don't wanna ride for me?
Girl, we used to make love
When you called, I would follow
Now the only thing you love is a bottle
The only thing you got left is a shadow
Don't let this shit come between us
I'm wrong you're right, it's okay with my heart
But it's not how it's supposed to be
You always say I'm done and finished
Fuck it, I'm wrong you're right
Please God help us
Guess I'mma leave it up to you tonight
She ain't bluffin', she gon' do it
I think it's time for me to face the music
I could really give a damn about my pride
But though with you I think it's stupid
You going back and forth with the lies, never compromise
Girl if you love me better prove it
Baby, I can't win, I can't win if I lose
Don't even matter if you screamin', yeah
Girl you don't love me, you don't love yourself
But it don't matter if you raising hell
I miss you, I wanna kiss you, yeah
I can't remember who you are babe
Remember when your heart used to say
Love me babe, love me babe
I know them bitches got in your way but
Don't let this shit come between us
I'm wrong you're right, it's okay with my heart
But it's not how it's supposed to be
She ain't bluffin', she gon' do it
I think it's time for me to face the music
I could really give a damn about my pride
But though with you I think it's stupid
You going back and forth with the lies, never compromise
Girl if you love me better prove it
Baby, I can't win, I can't win if I lose
I'm not trying to waste our love
I'm just trying to save what's left of it
One day, one day my love
You gon' realize that you fucked up
And when that day comes my love
I'm gon' be the same one still lovin'
How you gonna cancel me out?
Say "I won't listen", but I'm listening now
She ain't bluffin', she gon' do it
I think it's time for me to face the music
I could really give a damn about my pride
But though with you I think it's stupid
You going back and forth with the lies, never compromise
Girl if you love me better prove it
Baby, I can't win, I can't win if I lose
