Lyrics
Sumtimes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes the worst thing in your life is still in lock.
He don't want you back (Noo)
And that he's not into you (Noo)
And always treats you bad, still you're right there.
Sometimes you hear that he knows that you so want to take him back (Yeah)
And he can do anything (Yeah)
Take you and you'll stay right here (Oh woah)
Sometimes love traps you, you can't get out of it.
You need to get out of it but love just aint having it.
Just can't break through and your friends don't understand.
They're trying to understand why you keep running back to him.
(Why you keep) But he's got a real tight grip.
(On ya) You slowly, it makes you sick (?)
Yeah that's just the way it goes, you can't help it but sometimes that's how it is.
Most times you're trying to fight the urge to go and ball him up.
Its getting so damn serious (Yeah)
Being without his love, you really need it.
Most times I know your eyes are red all day from staying up.
Its true, the nights are kind of rough for you.
Don't know why you're stuck on him and you don't care who knows.
Sometimes love traps you, you can't get out of it.
You need to get out of it but love just aint having it.
Just can't break through and your friends don't understand.
They're trying to understand why you keep running back to him.
(Why you keep) But he's got a real tight grip.
(On ya) You slowly, it makes you sick (?)
Yeah that's just the way it goes, you can't help it but sometimes that's how it is.
(x2)
How it is.
You're a prisoner of his love,
hands tight and you can't budge.
But I can't be mad at ya' (Oh yeah)
I guess you'll never get over him.
Sometimes love traps you, you can't get out of it.
You need to get out of it but love just aint having it.
Just can't break through and your friends don't understand.
They're trying to understand why you keep running back to him.
(Why you keep) But he's got a real tight grip.
(On ya) You slowly, it makes you sick (?)
Yeah that's just the way it goes, you can't help it but sometimes that's how it is.
