Why do I keep puttin' up with this

When it ain't right (uh-huh)

Some days we good

Most days, we fuss and fight (uh-huh)

I keep waistin' my time, a lot of time has been wasted

Waitin' on you to make the changes you said you're makin'

And I just keep on stayin' while you procrastinate and fake

Breakin' my heart

Why do I keep on puttin' up with basic?

Keep on fallin' for the same shit?

Why do I keep on contemplatin' leavin' you?

Don't want no one else to have you?

Why do I?

Been around the world and seen a lot of faces

But honestly, I don't never want to replace this

Why do I keep on puttin' up with basic?

Keep on fallin' for the same shit?

Why do I?

It's about time that I let you go (go)

But seein' you with someone else

Gon' break my soul (ooh)

So I keep askin' and beggin' and hopin'

And prayin' that you do change

And get back to how wе were

When we first met

And stay thе same (tell me, baby, why do I?)

Why do I keep on puttin' up with basic? (Keep on puttin' up)

Keep on fallin' for the same shit?

Why do I keep on contemplatin' leavin' you?

Don't want no one else to have you?

Why do I?

Been around the world and seen a lot of faces

But honestly, I don't never want to replace this

Why do I keep on puttin' up with basic?

Keep on fallin' for the same shit?

Why do I?
