The One Before
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.
Hurting for years but she hid it
She told you she healed but she
Didn't but you can't erase what's been written or given to her
You live and you learn your way
You told her that you would be different
You even swore to her that you meant it but you didn't even stay
You were exactly the same
She's been hurt
She's been torn
She's been lied to once before
So if your gonna love her
Then baby you better love her more than the one before
She's been hurt
She's been torn
She's been lied to once before
So if your gonna love her
Then baby you better love her more than the one before
Heartbeat beat slow looking for the peep hole
She already think you're probably hiding more than she know
Keepin evil intensions hidden beneath
The sweet soul but always keep
Them separate like light, dark, clean clothes
You keep a clean nose and a filthy ho
Who be willing to do things
No one else will know but we know you play them game
Snatch up all the points and leave
Her that change but God gave her that butt
And God gave her that frame
And God gave her that smile
And God gave her that face
And God gave her this town
And God gave her that name
That you couldn't forget it then you out your brain
And I ain't on her team
I'm just saying what you ought to see
If you suppose to be with her
Then why the hell you calling me
Your actions are appalling me
I don't know what your problem be
Cause I look at her and I see that's where you really outta be
Cause she's been hurt
She's been torn
She's been lied to once before
So if your gonna love her
Then baby you better love her more
Than the one before or just don't love her no more
And watch her walk out that door
Instead of trying to chase her
You should be willing to save her for you don't have her no more
Cause she's been holding on for way too long
Being mistreated you act like you didn't see it until she walked out that door
Cause she's been hurt
She's been torn
She's been lied to once before
So if your gonna love her
Then baby you better love her more than the one before
