[Intro]
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Every day, I'm tryna get to know ya
But more and more, you're changin' up your act
Every day, I look for ways to bring us closer
But more and more, you appear to be drawing back
And baby, when we're makin' love, it's getting weaker
My heart don't feel it, and feeling is everything
And I'm feeling like maybe you just don't feel it
And I don't know how to play it
In the past, didn't know how to say it, but I
[Chorus]
I've held my tongue too long, I can't do it no more (I just can't do it, baby)
See, how can a man be so cold to a woman that loves him more? (I don't get it at all)
But if you wanna go (There's the door)
I can't hold you (Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused, I treat myself way too good
And a love that tears you down ain't really love
[Verse 2]
Every day, I'm gettin' up and makin' breakfast
And more and more, you're walkin' in without a word
And every day, I'm tryna ask, "Baby, what's wrong?"
And more and more, you say I'm getting on your nerves
And then you take me to the level of some bullshit
You said you never had these problems from a white chick
You got me twisted and twisted is just not how I get with it
You need to sit down and hear it, oh
[Chorus]
I've held my tongue too long, I can't do it no more (I just can't do it, baby)
See, how can a man be so cold to a woman that loves him more? (I don't get it at all)
But if you wanna go (There's the door)
I can't hold you (Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused, I treat myself way too good, oh
And a love that tears you down ain't really love, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
I'm pouring out my heart (My heart)
Don't just sit there while my heart is on the line
Speak your truth (Speak your truth)
What it's worth (What it's worth)
Not a word you say will go unheard
Now if it's like that, then baby, just pack your bags
'Cause I'm sick and tired of fightin'
I'm sick and tired of tryin'
I had enough of waitin'
I'm not that good with playin'
I know I love you, but I love myself too
[Chorus]
I've held my tongue too long, I can't do it no more (I just can't do it, baby)
See, how can a man be so cold to a woman that loves him more? (I don't get it at all)
But if you wanna go (There's the door)
I can't hold you (Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused, treat myself way too good now
And a love that tears you down ain't really love (Ain't really love, ain't really love, no)
I've held my tongue too long, I can't do it no more (Held my tongue too long, and I just can't do it, baby)
See, how can a man be so cold to a woman that loves him more? (How can a man? I don't get it at all)
But if you wanna go (There's the door)
There's the door (Boy, you're grown)
You must got me confused, treat myself way too good, oh yeah
And a love that tears you down ain't really love
