Lyrics

[Intro]
We hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people
I'm inspired, so get inspired
[Verse 1]
And so he said, "Why you gotta be so kind-hearted?
Why you couldn't be a con artist? Why you couldn't?
Why you couldn't be mischievous or just a lil' devious
The moment that we first started?
Why you never ask for nothin', just a lil' time?
Why you let me use yours 'cause I don't got mines?
Why you always lift me up when I'm completely givin' up
Or when **** holla, "What's up?", you give a dry response?
Why you givin' me your last knowin' you ain't got it?
Why you always buy me somethin' when you goin' shoppin'?
Why you tell me that you love me? Why you always thinkin' of me?
Want my company rather than goin' club hoppin'?
Why you treatin' my momma like she your momma too?
Why you makin' promises that you'll forever do?
Whatever just to make me happy, wantin' us to have a family
These are exactly the reasons why I cheat on you sometimes"
[PreChorus]
We hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
[Chorus]
Sometimes I, sometimes I feel we share
Nothin' in common, it ain't fair
But where do we seem to fall?
Where do we seem to fall?
Tender love and care, once upon a time
Once upon a time, we was there
[Verse 2]
And so she said, "Why you gotta be so mean to me?
Why you don't know what you mean to me?
Why you always playin' games? Why I feel like you ashamed
Out in public, curse me out and make a scenery?
Why you got other bitches rollin' they eyes at me?
Why text messages poppin' up sayin', "Hi, Daddy"?
Why you treat me like I'm nothin'? Why you always at a function?
I be wantin' to go out, but you don't ever ask me
Why you slip and say her name when we havin' sex?
Why you always assumin' that I still like my ex?
Every time we get into it, I'm the one that's feelin' stupid
You don't need me, you gon' leave me, that's ya favorite threat
Why you never know how it feel to be lonely?
Why I feel I'm the last option after ya homies?
Why you always gotta know that I will never let you go
Even though you get violent and put your hands on me sometimes?"
[PreChorus]
We hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
[Chorus]
Sometimes I, sometimes I feel we share
Nothin' in common, it ain't fair
But where do we seem to fall?
Where do we seem to fall?
Tender love and care, once upon a time
Once upon a time, we was there
[Outro]
She says she loves me
She says she loves me
So she clings to me even when I want to be left alone
But she's beautiful
Like, sometimes, when I have things on my mind, she's the perfect person to listen
And she only gives advice, she says, when I give her a cue
She says she loves me
Like when I wake up in the mornin', she's sitting on the edge of the bed with a plate of food, wantin' to feed me
She says she needs me
She says she loves me
Or like when I'm steppin' out of the shower, she's standin' there with the towel, wantin' to, wantin' to dry me off
She says, she says she loves me
So instead of admittin' that she has made another mistake
She says, she says she loves me
And I don't know about love
