Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why am I not surprised? I see it in your eyes
You're just not happy with your life
Runnin' from guy to guy, livin' another lie
When you should be mine
[Verse 2]
I saw you on the block today, was gonna speak but I walked away
Couldn't find a single thing to say
Down the street the thought had still remained
Girl, he must be insane
How could he treat you that way? Oh
[Verse 3]
Just 'cause he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
And I really hope you hear me this time
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
And I hope you understand it tonight
I don't care what it takes, girl
There's too much at stake, girl
No mountain's too high to climb
To bring your heart to mine
[Verse 5]
Why do we play this game? Love can't be contained
I've got to make my move, oh yeah
I can feel the flames whenever you're close to me
I don't know what to do
[Verse 6]
I' wait long as I can for you, give all that I am for you
I know he's not the man for you, in my soul, I got plans for you
I'll be holding on, yeah
'Cause I know that he'll be gone, ooh
[Verse 7]
Just 'cause he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
And I really hope you hear me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea
[Verse 8]
I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
Girl, I really hope you hear me this time
I don't care what it takes, girl
There's too much at stake, girl
Just give me some kind of sign
And I'll bring your heart to mine
[Verse 9]
Girl, I know sometimes
That you feel like the sun don't shine
But if you look real deep inside
You'll realize you should be mine
[Verse 10]
Just 'cause he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
Won't you try to understand me tonight?
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
[Verse 11]
I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
Girl, I swear that 's what I'm saying is right
I don't care what it takes, girl
There's too much at stake, girl
I'll come for you anytime
To bring your heart to mine
[Verse 12]
Just 'cause he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
I really hope you hear me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
And give me your love
It's killing me but I'm trying
To bring your heart to mine
