I wasted another day, I'm in love with you
I took the time my God gave,
and I used it appeasing their fool
Then you gon' pack your flanks,
but stay with one foot out the door
Honey, I'm tellin' you I'm
than you keepin' my soul on the floor
I still remember you had me so down
I was thinkin' you superb,
got me illustratin' words
Then our picture got blurred,
and it took a while to clearly see
that presently we haven't smiled
In came the reptile tempting
Proving you're deluding your own mind
If you think I am including you
You don't make no time for me
This relationship ain't what it used to be
So if you can't give me what I need
Then I'ma have to let you go
You tell me that you're coming home
You say that you were playing
And if there's no more room
Then I'ma have to let you go
why you actin' like it's all bad?
I put it down like a real man, the best I can
You had turbulence at first,
but I chose to fight through it
don't count for much, don't do it
It seems nowadays you forget
You had done when you dealt me
that low blow of betrayal
Most fools I know would've
called you a ho and set sail
But I didn't bail, I took a chance
and put my faith in the potential
Who would soon become my lady
But if my homies knew, man,
they'd think that I was crazy
But that's cool, I'd be a fool for you
Just don't be shady and keep in mind
we've met him in his past
So when our people cross the street
I never seem to see some greener grass
Cause neither one of us is perfect
But this thing is worth it
Then you don't deserve it
So I'm believin' that there's not
Cause you should know your place
But I'll let you do, if not,
I'ma have to ask, have to ask you
Why don't you stop stressin' me,
Your mama's name is not destiny
And if you don't think I'm givin'
Then why haven't you let me go, oh?
You actin' like it's all good
But then you listen to your girls
when they yap on the phone
If you believin' that you better
Then why haven't you let me go, oh?
Your smile slowly strokes my cheek
Memories race to the finish
and pastures of love in bloom
Your fragrance assumes our former reason,
And each perception we have
about the heart we'll no longer consume
But romance ain't forever,
poetry writes about us together
Haiku's rumor about our splendor,
Yeah, me too, and I can't even lie
See, that's the reason why,
man, I hate to see you cry
I can't deny the way it feels
And when I see you laughing,
I'm trying to make it happen
But for the long term, see,
that's why we gotta learn to make it better
We know when the weather will change,
want you to share my last name for real
I know sometimes I don't act right,
but this relationship is worth the fight
So I choose to hold on with
I guess I can't let you go
but this relationship is worth the fight
So I choose to hold on with
I guess I can't let you go.
