Ashanti (born Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas; October 13, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress. She rose to fame in the early 2000s. Ashanti is most famous for her eponymous debut album, which featured the hit song "Foolish", and sold over 503,000 copies in its first week of release throughout the U.S. in April 2002.

[Verse 1]
Another night, have you been where you say you been?
So tell me why, in the hell you just strollin' in?
Now I ain't got the patience to be playin' boy
I've been waitin' by the phone just to hear your story
Gettin' tired of them same lame excuses comin'
Now tell me do you have the answer to my question?

[Chorus]
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?
And why do I stay knowin' all that you do?
And why am I so much in love in with you, baby?

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

[Verse 2]
It seems like you think it's cool to run around with other chicks
While I'm sittin' home, tryna figure why it's you I'm with
What's a girl to do? Cause I done had enough of you
I don't wanna stay another day waitin' like a fool

It ain't like I ain't fly, and can't find another guy
It's matters of the heart, got me stayin' and I don't know why
Cause I love you like no other, I touch you like no other
Even (uhh) like no other, got your back like no other

Now I ain't got the patience to be playin' boy
I've been waitin' by the phone just to hear your story
Gettin' tired of them same lame excuses comin'
Now tell me do you have the answer to my question?

[Chorus]
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?
And why do I stay knowin' all that you do?
And why am I so much in love in with you, baby?

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

[Bridge]
Said I don't know what it is that you're thinkin'
Cause what you did to me is comin' back to get you babe
Hey, you better be careful out there,
cause you aint never gonna find like me babe

[Chorus]
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?
And why do I stay knowin' all that you do?
And why am I so much in love in with you, baby?

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

I gave you all of me, you were my story, my future, my everything
How could you betray me?
All I did was love you, all I did was trust you
Thought that it was us two

Oooh, ohh. Heyy...hey.
