Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Can't you find something else to talk about?

Is this only, only when you sing?

Makes you look better when you put things down

Value your opinion

[Verse 2]

Don't criticize my friends

Criticize my ideas

Don't criticize my lifestyle

I'm fed up 'cause all you want to do is criticize

[Verse 3]

(Don't just close your mind)

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

[Verse 4]

Now can't we start this over?

'Cause your conversation ain't right

We can make our love stronger

You don't have to think twice

[Verse 5]

Don't criticize my friends

Criticize my ideas

Don't criticize my lifestyle

I'm fed up 'cause all you want to do is criticize

[Verse 6]

(Don't just close your mind)

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

(I just want what is right still the same)

(Criticize)

[Verse 7]

Don't criticize my motive

Criticize my feelings

Don't criticize my business

I'm fed up 'cause all you want to do is criticize

[Verse 8]

(Don't just close your mind)

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

Criticize, yeah

All you want to do is criticize

[Verse 9]

Gotta be your man

Stand beside me, baby

Don't you go walking out that door, no

No, no, baby

Baby, don't criticize

Oh, criticize

Ooh, baby, got to have you now

(Don't just close your mind)
