Why Her?
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.
The last tear just fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wouldn't gon' cry no more
(You did what you did, it is what it is)
And that's why I walked out the door
Moved on with my life, but not really
Spent too much time wondering how could you
(You do this to us thought we we're in love)
I guess I was thinking too much
I was thinking that the sex had you locked
You never could get enough cos you know I kept it hot
I listened to you tell me your dreams
And your fears
I wipe the tears
I was there and that's why this is hurting me
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first in place of me
You wanna come back but I gotta know (why her?)
Thought she was all that, then why you at my door?
Now look at ya, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you've got the answer to my question
Why her?
This gon' be the last time we say goodbye
Ain't gonna be no reruns of this episode
(You did what you did, it is what it is)
Maybe if you would've told me
You weren't happy, you weren't satisfied
We could've worked it out
Baby we could've tried
(But you didn't say nothing)
All alone fakin' and frontin', why?
I was thinking that the sex had you locked
You never could get enough 'cos you know I kept it hot
I listened to you tell me your dreams
And your fears
I wipe the tears
I was there and it hurts me
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first in place of me (you put her first and...)
You wanna come back but I gotta know (why her?)
Thought she was all that, why you at my door?
Now look at ya, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you've got the answer to my question
Why her?
Now ladies, ya'll know I speak from experience, right?
I used to just look at him and wonder why
Why her?
You know what I'm saying?
But ladies, I learned not to worry about them
Living the happily ever after
Cos see, that shit was built on a lie
So it's sure to fall
That's why I stand tall (baby, baby, baby can you tell me)
I just looked at him and said this right here
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first in place of me
Why her?
The grass looks greener on the other side
But I promise you'll be back tonight oh
Now look at ya, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you've got the answer to my question
Why her?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Why her?
