You Say, I Say

Yo, thug ****, drug dealers

Y'all so caught in the game, you scared of love, what's that?

Why? Tell me why

I was thinking you're the one for me

I was hoping you would set me free

How silly am I, how silly I am

You're not an angel, you're just a man

But I understand

You make me cry, still I smile when I can

This evil game, such a shame

Lately it's all the same

You say it hurts too much to want me, that's what you say

Hurts too much to keep me, that's what you say

Hurts too much to hold me, that's what you say

Well, if it hurts so bad to love me, tell me why you stay

Why? I say, I say

Tell me why, I say, I say

When I'm looking deep into your eyes

I see perfection, I can't say goodbye

How strong is our love? This world is so cold

You sometimes act like my tears ain't worth your gold

Every time you leave

It hurts inside, still I let you go free

This twisted game, such a shame

Lately, it’s all the same

You say it hurts too much to want me, that's what you say

Hurts too much to keep me, that's what you say

Hurts too much to hold me, that's what you say

Well, if it hurts so bad to love me, tell me why you stay

Why? I say, I say

Tell me why, I say, I say

I never meant to fall in love with you

You live the life, and play the game of fools

You promised me that you would never leave

Now, baby, look at what you're doing to me

You say, you say, you say

I say, I say

You say, you say

I say, you say

You say it hurts too much to want me, that's what you say

You say it hurts too much to keep me, that's what you say

You say it hurts too much to hold me, that's what you say

Well, if it hurts so bad to love me, tell me why you stay

Why? I say, I say

Tell me why, I say, I say

I wanna be with you, yes, I do

I need you, yes, I do

Gon' keep you if it's the last thing I do

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love you, baby

I love, I love, I love, I love, love you, baby
