Not Real Love

Take a minute girl, now, talk about it.
I know you've been thinking about walking out,
You been coming around here with your head down,
Treat you real bad, no, don't let him now.
You never seem to doubt, it's your house,
But you tell me all he'd ever do is scream and shout.
Take it from me, he ain't never gonna change,
He don't appreciates what a real woman brings.
I don't know why, he treats you so rough.
All you do is keep it inside,
When it's much too much.
And I don't know why,
That's not enough.
Tell him goodbye,
'Cause it's not real love.
Now, don't take this the wrong way.
Listen up, girl, here's what I'm saying:
All he's gonna do is break your heart
And you don't want to find out the hard way.
Now he's wondering, I think no surprise,
His favourite thing to do is make you cry.
This is a game only once to play.
Girl you look lost, you need to find your way.
I don't know why, he treats you so rough.
All you do is keep it inside,
When it's much too much.
And I don't know why,
That's not enough.
Tell him goodbye,
'Cause it's not real love
Ooh
I know you know better than that.
It's a shame he don't,
But he should really know.
He's losing a good thing
That you're such a beautiful, beautiful woman
That your love's just great
See, honey, I should tell you:
He's not a friend,
So it's better take your love away.
I don't know why he treats you so rough
He treats you so rough
All you do is keep it inside
Why'd you keep it inside
When it's much too much
And I don't know why
That's not enough
It's not enough
Tell him goodbye
'Cause it's not real love
I don't know why he treats you so rough
(So rough)
All you do is keep it inside
(Keep it inside)
When it's much too much
(It's much too much)
It's much too much baby
And I don't know why
It's much too much
That's not enough
Tell him goodbye
'Cause it's not real love
