Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you tryin' to do to my heart?
What you tryin' to do to my heart?
You go around tellin' lies
You're foolin' round with other guys
What you tryin' to do to my heart?
[Verse 2]
You better run
You better hide
You better leave (From my side)
[Verse 3]
What you tryin' to do to my soul?
What you tryin' to do to my soul?
Everything I had was yours
And now I'm closin' all the doors?
What you tryin' to do to my soul?
[Verse 4]
You better run (Run, baby)
You better hide (Hide, baby)
You better leave (From my side)
[Verse 5]
I love you girl, I love you so
Can't you see it, don't you know?
I can't stand your alibis
Your tellin' lies, and tell me why
Mercy
And I can't stand anymore
[Verse 6]
What are you tryin' to do to my head?
Yeah, what you tryin' to do to my head?
Now, I got my jaw out of line
You're not gonna take my mind
What are you tryin' to do to my head?
[Verse 7]
You better run (Oh, I need it)
You better hide (Go away from me)
You better leave (From my side)
[Verse 8]
I can't stand anymore
Leave me alone, woman
Go away
Too much
Have mercy
I need it
I need it
