Lately we haven't had a chance to speak
Cus you really ain't had no time for me
Maybe there's somewhere else
You'd rather be
And I don't understand it at all
If I recall I gave you everything
But I can't remember one time
You sacrificed for me
And I'm starting to feel
Like im losing myself
So I think that I'll just
Live with whats left

Why did you treat me like
The girl on the side?
Why did you have to go and make me cry?
Boy tell me, you could have walked away
Rather than cause me pain
Baby I ain't really need it at all
And I can't make you love me
(so I ain't trying that)
You won't make a fool of me
(so you can forget that)
But I will remain a lady thats
How my mama raised me
Take the stripes that I've
Earned a lesson learned

Why did you have to go and lie to me?

When you were out there
Running in the streets
Well I'm tired calling your cellphone
4 o'clock in the morning you pick it
Up and all I hear is
If I was too much woman all
You had to say was
That you wasn't ready and
I would've understood
Well let me calm down
Why should I be mad when honestly
It ain't something you're stressin' bout

Gave so many chances you blew it over again
Time and time I wonder why you
Put me after your friends?
You couldn't tell me the real? boy
Do you know how it feels?
When I call your phone and
You don't call back?
I know you can't be for real uh uh
So I pack my bags and ain't coming back
Treat me like I don't know you what
Part of the game is that?
Boy I ain't turning around this is
No place for me to be
You never meant enough for me
