Let Go

[Strophe I:] A player only loves you when he's playing Girlfriend I hope you listen to what I'm saying How you think you gonna stop him from betraying Can't teach an old dog new tricks you know You like a man who's rough around the edges Claiming he's changing, a bunch of empty pledges Can't believe a damn thing he alleges Think twice before you head on down that road [Chorus I:] Ladies you got to learn to let go Cause he ain't never gonna change no Now it's time to show him out the door Not gonna take his mess nor more [Chorus II:] He got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night Got to let go, got to let go Got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right Got to let go, got to let go If he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town Got to let go, got to say no Even your friends try to tell you he's messing around Got to let go, got to let go [Strophe II:] They promise you the stars in the beginning It takes a while for you to find out that he's swindeling Depending on your money and he's clinging You live and learn only if you recognize You stick with him because you thinks he needs you It's almost like you don't see the way he treats you There's even talk you won't leave him because you're too weak to [Chorus I] [Chorus II] [Bridge:] And don't think I haven't been through it all myself E hoping that one day he'll become someone else [Chorus II] [Outro:] He be puffing on weed first thing in the morn' Got to let go, got to let go Is he still sitting in the same spot when you get home Got to let go, got to let go The whole world's against him, but it's never his fault Got to let go, got to say no You try to break it down, but he don't hear you at all Got to let go, got to let go
