Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My last tear fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wasn't going to cry no ore
You did what you did, it is what it is
And that's why I walked out the door
Moved on with my life, but not really
Spent to much time wondering how could you
You do this to us, while we were in love
I guess I was thinking to much
[Verse 2]
I was just thinking that the sex had your love
You never could get enough
'Cause you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams
And your fears, I wiped your tears
I was there and that's why that is hurting me
[Verse 3]
Why her, why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her?
Tell me what she was worth it
To make you put her first and deceive me
You wanna come back, but I gotta know (Why her?)
I thought she was all that, then why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question
Why her?
[Verse 4]
This going to be the last time we say goodbye
Ain't going to be no reruns of the episode
You did what you did, it is what it is
Maybe if you would've told me
You weren't happy, you weren't satisfied
We could of worked it out
Maybe we could've tried
But you didn't say nothing
All alone faking it in front of me why?
[Verse 5]
I was thinking that the sex had your love
You never could get enough
'Cause you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams
And your fears, I wiped your tears
I was there and it hurts me
[Verse 6]
Why her, why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her?
Tell me what she was worth it
To make you put her first and deceive me
You wanna come back, but I gotta know (Why her?)
I thought she was all that, then why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question
Why her?
[Verse 7]
Now ladies, y'all know I speak from experience right
And wonder why
Why her?
You know what I'm saying?
But ladies, I learn not to worry about them living a happily ever after
Because that shit was built on a lie
So it should have fall
That's why I stand tall (Baby, baby, baby)
I just looked at him and said this is why you
[Verse 8]
Why her, why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her?
Tell me what she was worth it
To make you put her first and deceive me
The grass looks greener on the other side
But I promise you'll be back tonight
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question
Why her?
