Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was down you wasn't there for me (Hmmm, yeah, yeah)
Pushed my love right out the door
At this point I can't take no more
When I was down you wasn't there for me (Oh, whoa-oh, oh)
That's the reason I'm leavin' you
Girl I'm through
[Verse 2]
My all and my everything
She couldn't do no wrong
Until the cash was gone
And she fronted like she cared for me
But what's the possibility
That she was gettin' me for my money? (Wo yeah yeah)
[Verse 3]
When I was down you wasn't there for me
Pushed my love right out the door (Hmm)
At this point I can't take no more (When I was down)
When I was down you wasn't there for me
And that's the reason I'm leavin' you
Girl I'm through
[Verse 4]
No more lies, baby, things done changed
I'm not the man I used to be
I gotta look out for me
And after all that we been through
I can't believe that you would think
That I could love you (Oh, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 5]
Things done changed
And my life just ain't the same
And you been tryin' to come back home to me
That ain't happenin'
[Verse 6]
When I was down you wasn't there for me (Baby)
(Baby, ay-ay) Pushed my love right out the door
At this point I can't take no more
When I was down you wasn't there for me
That's the reason I'm leavin' you
Girl I'm through (Ooh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 7]
When I was down you wasn't there for me
Pushed my love right out the door (You pushed my lovin')
At this point I can't take no more (I can't take no more)
When I was down you wasn't there for me (When I was down)
And that's the reason I'm leavin' you (And that's the reason)
Girl I'm through
[Verse 8]
When I was down you wasn't there for me (Hey-ay)
Pushed my love right out the door
At this point I can't take no more
When I was down you wasn't there for me (When I was down, down)
That's the reason I'm leavin' you (I'm)
Girl I'm through (Girl, I'm through)
