It Hurts Too Much To Stay
Candlelight and chocolate kisses
Calls to say you missed me when we started
Your nails was done, your hair was pressed
I miss the way you used to dress when I met you
I really, really do
I gave my best for years
My time was wasted, yeah
See, I shared your fears
And the tears you cried, I tasted
Baby, I loved your kiss
I know you did
Opened up our home, yes I did
Paid your mamma's bills
Gave you all when you had nothing

Love you so, can't let go
Never thought I'd be without you
Can't imagine life without you

Walk away, every day
Told me that you'd never leave
But now you say it hurts too much to stay

Too much to stay
Said it's hard for me
It was hard for me
Your lover's staying with his mom
Tell me was it worth the drama, baby
See we got our own kids, yeah
If there had to be another
Why go trickin' in the gutter
And driving our shit
Boo hoo hoo baby
Say I know he can't
Put that thing down like I do, no
Baby that was the past
You don't roll like you used to
Said what's my motivation
Girl I'm better off alone, yeah
Tell me why can't we just walk away
Why are we so torn

Repeat 1 while:
Baby, baby, baby
Never meant to hurt you, no no no
You walk away from me
Tell me why did you change
Why did you change

Can it be all that we have hoped and prayed for
Now is gone away

Oh baby everything (Everything)
Our hopes and dreams
They are no longer
We can't go back
The way it used to be
Said now, now, really

Repeat 1 while:
I really love you baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh yeah
See I never thought
But you changed
Whoo oh
Why you have to do me this way babe
Never meant to hurt you baby
Got me tossin' and turnin' and
And I dont' know, I don't know, can't you see
Gerald, can't it be the same
No never again, no
Never again, no
No
I'm callin your name
I hear ya callin' me
Gerald, I love ya babe
Said I'm coming when you call me baby
Baby, yeah
No, no, no, come home to me baby
Said you got me walking around all mixed up
And I don't know what to say baby
Tell me that you love me
Don't know what to do baby
Just tell me that you need me
I love you, I need you, I want you
Come to me Kelly
You didn't love her, and you didn't need her
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Kelly
No, no, no, no, no, no
What do I have to do
To convince you
Come home, I really love you
Try to make you understand that I'm only just a man
Goin' to jail cuz I killed your girl
Goin' to jail cuz I killed your girl
Come on now, don't do this now
Come on now, don't do this now
Your body belongs to me
She can't have you no matter what she thinks
No, no, no, no, no, no
No no no
