Why U screamin'?
U know I'm not a man'o'war
Break the gold chain that I gave U
Throw it down on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
Friends tell me, "U should go get her"
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time (Waste of time)
Aw, yes it is, a waste of time, ooh
Look at me
I need 2 get out of this city
I need 2 get U outta my head
I need 2 get away from the words that U said 2 me
(Why U screamin'?) Yeah
U know I'm not a man of war
What makes U think that I could put something inside of someone
That I put inside of U?
Even if I tried 2, if I tried 2 (Tried 2, tried 2)
I couldn't cuz I still smell like that last time that we
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time (Is a waste of time)
It's a waste of time (Waste of time)
Shall we work out? (Look out)
(Wanted)
Need 2 feel wanted again (Wanted again)
I need 2 feel love is alive (Is alive, is alive)
I need 2 hear U say that U ain't lookin' 4 another reason 2 make me cry
Why U screamin'? (Why?)
U know I'm not a man of war
I've been tryin' 2 make U happy, baby, ever since we were sophomores
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time (Waste of time)
Oh, yes it is, yes it is, a waste of time
If there is no future
Then there is no past
And all we've got is right now
2 make it last!
Why U screamin'?
Can we make it last - U know I'm not a man'o'war, baby
Break the gold chain that I gave U (Break it, break the gold chain)
Throw it down on the floor (Throw it down)
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me, "U should go get her", that's what they tell me
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U's a waste of time (Waste of time)
I need 2 get out of this city
I need 2 get U outta my head
I need 2... how Lenny say?
"I got 2 get away, I got 2 get away"
Away from the words U said 2 me
Tryin' 2 take away my dignity
Peace of mind where I should be
Instead of this 7-page letter, see?
If U wanna serve me a plate of blues
I won't buy U no more shoes
Donatella lace U in dresses still?
I gets no love, but I pay the bill
I will, I will.. no
I will pay the bills
$100,000 and some change
I been tryin' 2 make U happy, baby
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time
Why U screamin'?
U know I'm not a man of war (Know I'm not a man of war)
Break the gold chain (Break the gold chain that I gave U)
Throw it down on the floor, on the floor, instead...
Instead of this 7 page letter
Well, I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me, "U should go get her"
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U, baby, is a waste of time
Oh (Oh) baby
U know I'm not a man'o'war
