Lyrics
[Intro]
Aye, mayne
You a lil' sucker for love, Pac (I can't lie)
Word up (I'm a sucker for love)
[Verse 1]
I should'a seen you was trouble right from the start
Taught me so many lessons
How not to mess with broken hearts
So many questions
When this began, we was the perfect match, perhaps
We had some problems but we working at it, and now
The arguments are getting loud, I wanna stay
But I can't help from walking out, let's throw it away
Just take my hand and understand, if you could see
I never planned to be your man, it just wasn't me
But now I'm searching for commitment, in other arms
I wanna shelter you from harm, don't be alarmed
Your attitude was the cause, you got me stressing
Soon as I open up the door, with your jealous questions
Like where can I be, you're killing me with your jealousy
Now my ambition's to be free
I can't breathe, 'cause soon as I leave, it's like a trap
I hear ya calling me to come back
I'm a sucker for love
[Chorus]
What you won't do
Do for love (That's right)
You tried everything (Sucker for love)
But you don't give up
What you won't do (A sucker for love)
You won't do (Do for love)
Do for love
You tried everything
But you don't give up (No, baby)
[Verse 2]
Just when I thought I broke away and I'm feeling happy
You try to trap me, say you're pregnant and guess who the daddy
Don't wanna fall for it
But in this case, what could I do? So now I'm back
To making promises to you, trying to keep it true
What if I'm wrong? A trick to keep me on and on
Tryin' to be strong and in the process, keep it going
I'm 'bout to lose my composure, I'm getting close
To packing up and leaving notes and getting ghost
Tell me who knows a peaceful place where I can go
To clear my head, I'm feeling low, losing control
My heart is saying leave
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When we conspire to conceive
And now, you're getting calls at the house, guess you're cheating
That's all I need to hear 'cause I'm leaving, I'm out the door
Never no more will you see me, this is the end
'Cause now I know you've been cheating
I'm a sucker for love
[Chorus]
What you won't do
Do for love
You tried everything (Sucker for love)
But you don't give up (Don't give up)
What you won't do (A sucker for love)
Do for love (Baby, oh yeah)
You tried everything (Sucker for love)
But you don't give up (No, baby)
[Verse 3]
Now he left you with scars, tears on your pillow and you still stay
As you sit and pray hoping the beatings'll go away
It wasn't always a hit-and-run relationship
It used to be love, happiness and companionship
Remember when I treated you good?
I moved you up to the hills out the ills of the ghetto hood
Me and you, a happy home when it was on
I had a love to call my own
I shoulda seen you was trouble but I was lost, trapped in your eyes
Preoccupied with getting tossed, no need to lie
You had a man and I knew it, you told me
Don't worry 'bout it, we can do it, now I'm under pressure
Make a decision, 'cause I'm waiting when I'm alone
I'm on the phone having secret conversations, huh
I wanna take your misery, replace it with happiness
But I need your faith in me
I'm a sucker for love
[Chorus]
What you won't do
Do for love (What you won't do for love)
You tried everything (Sucker for love, everything)
But you don't give up (Know you ain't right, you know?)
What you won't do (But I'm a sucker for love)
Do for love
You tried everything
But you don't give up
No, no
[Outro]
What you won't do (I'm a sucker for love)
Do for love (You won't do, do for love)
You tried everything
But you don't give up
What you won't do (A sucker for love)
Do for love
You tried everything (Sucker for love)
But you don't give up
[Outro]
What you won't do
Do for love (Do)
You tried everything (Every little thing, baby)
But you don't give up
(No, no, no, no) What you won't do
Do for love
You tried everything (Do for love)
But you don't give up
[Outro]
Do for love
Yeah baby
Yeah
[Outro]
Do for love
