Love Me Enough (feat. Monica & Keyshia Cole)

Ooh
Monica and Keyshia Cole

I used to think love had to hurt
So I'd do sh- to make it worse
Got off on the toxic words
I used to think love had to hurt

But lately, I've been thinkin', maybe
No one needs to save me
'Cause I love me enough for all of y'all
And lately, they've been tryna change me
But that sh- don't faze me
'Cause I love me enough for all of y'all

Uh, yo, I used to think my happiness depended on a man
Diamond on the ring finger blingin' on my hand
Sativa or Indica, it don't matter what the strain
The worst drug of all, the addiction to a man
Insecure, real jealous, bitter little man
Cursin', beat a woman, but he never hit a man
Man, yeah, you such a man, damn

Like Tina in a limo, well, bitch had to go ham, scram (aah)
– I look like? (brr)
I wish I would like (yeah)
Wasted a couple years, now I'm good like (yeah)
It's worth the pain, I'ma still have a good life
Still be a great mother, still be a good wife

I used to think love had to hurt (used to)
So I'd do sh- to make it worse
Got off on the toxic words
I used to think love had to hurt

But lately, I've been thinkin', maybe
No one needs to save me
'Cause I love me enough for all of y'all
And lately, they've been tryna change me
But that sh- don't faze me
'Cause I love me enough for all of y'all

I don't need bitter betties to believe me (oh, yeah)
And I don't care how the media perceives me
I just do it for the girls who ain't never had it easy (ooh)
The woman who conceived me, the girl in the mirror (oh)
That just cries when she sees me, easy, I'm breezy
Finger on the trigger yellin', "Squeeze me, relieve me" (oh)
I thought that everyone who loved me would leave me
But, f– that, I love this new chick named Me-me (I love)

First things first, all my girls, know your worth
Self-love is the greatest love on Earth (yeah)
Cry your eyes out, get it out, it's the worst
But love don't hurt, no

I used to think love had to hurt (used to)
So I'd do sh- to make it worse
Got off on the toxic words
I used to think love had to hurt

But lately, I've been thinkin', maybe
No one needs to save me
'Cause I love me enough for all of y'all (all of y'all)
And lately, they've been tryna change me
But that sh- don't faze me
'Cause I love me enough for all of y'all
Love me enough, love me enough (eh)
Love me enough for all of y'all (I love)
Love me enough, love me enough (eh)
Love me enough for all of y'all (all of y'all)

All of y'all, all of y'all (eh)
All of y'all, all love, y'all (all of y'all)
All of y'all, all of y'all (eh)
All of y'all, all love, y'all

Oh, baby, don't you play
Wipe your pretty little face
Let 'em say what they say
Oh, baby, walk away (ooh)
Oh, baby, don't you play
Wipe your pretty little face
Let 'em say what they say

Celebrate you walked away
Celebrate, celebrate (celebrate)
Celebrate you walked away (you walked away, yeah)
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate you walked away (oh)

Walked away
I gotta celebrate, you gotta celebrate
Walked away, c'mon
