Put Him Out

Now, I'ma tell it like this girlfriend, he don't love you

Never have I seen him kiss or hug you

He don't make effort, he don't respect you

Or accept you for you

Tells you what to wear and how to behave

Comes in your home and treats you like his slave

Don't need him if he makes you sacrifice your freedom

Get him out your life

Shouts and curses at you in public places

Sleep in your house on a part-time basis

He ain't even taking care of his child

He don't make you smile

I understand you love him and you're down

But that don't mean you got to be his clown

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Change them locks and all that

(Girl, you got to put him out)

And this time don't take him back

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Take the time to love yourself

(Girl, you got to put him out)

You can find real love with someone else

He don't even know how to be honest

All he know how to do is false promise

Any real man agree he ain't a man

After the first time that he raised his hand

Treat your home like hotel, don't pay his way

Lost count of the times that that dog has strayed

Sleep around, creep around, bring back disease

What if next time it was H.I.V.?

Four baby mommas, eight kids and no work

You can play strong but I know that it hurt

You make the choices, you gotta stop this

'Cause girlfriend, the boy's worthless

I understand that y'all were love-birds from school

How did you get from bein' his girl to just bein' his fool?

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Change them locks and all that

(Girl, you got to put him out)

And this time don't take him back

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Take the time to love yourself

(Girl, you got to put him out)

You can find real love with someone else

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Change them locks and all that

(Girl, you got to put him out)

And this time don't take him back

Your little girl needs a daddy, I agree

But the fool is far from that

Any boy can be a father

That ain't reason enough to keep on takin' him back

He never reads with her or takes her out

That shit's called neglect, you hear

Sure, she confused and tired of always seeing Momma's face

Bruised and drownin' in tears

Look what you showin' her by lettin' him disrespect you

You just growin' her to think that it's somethin' that all men do

You owe it to yourself and your daughter 'cause she thinks it's all alright

When she gets older, follow the footsteps you showed her

How you gonna look her in the eye? Yeah

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Change them locks and all that

(Girl, you got to put him out)

And this time don't take him back

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Take the time to love yourself

(Girl, you got to put him out)

You can find real love with someone else

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Change them locks and all that

(Girl, you got to put him out)

And this time don't take him back

(Girl, you got to put him out)

Take the time to love yourself

(Girl, you got to put him out)

You can find real love with someone else
