Instead

1st Verse

I know you ain't been trusting

For a long, long time

Cause the one before me

Couldn't stop cheating and lyin

You said he was lowdown

But that ain't all of us

He had you all throwed off

And you forgot how to trust

I'm trying to treat you right

And pay the bills

I make my own mistakes

But why i gotta pay for his

You got a good man now

Right in front of you

Keep treating me like a prisoner

And we gone be through

Chorus

Instead of trying to see if I'm cheating

Try to see if I'm happy

Instead of trying to check who I'm calling, baby

Try to see if I'm hungry

2nd Verse

I'm trying to get some understanding

Cause right now I'm lost

If you keep taking me through this

You gonna run me off

Said she checking my draws

And the phone bill

That's too much pressure

And that ain't no way to live

You cant even be content

Somethings gotta shake

Cause your friends be talking

Saying what they wouldn't take

So who you gone listen to

Them or me

I can let you go if you want me to

And let you be free

Chorus

Instead of trying to see if he cheating

Try to see if he happy

Instead of trying to check who he calling, baby

Try to see if he hungry

Talk

Chorus

Instead of trying to see if he cheating

Try to see if he happy

Instead of trying to check who he calling, baby

Try to see if he hungry
