Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Help me

How are you gon' do love this way?

I work so hard for you everyday

While you're out, late night

Doin' what you do, chillin' with who?

While I'm sittin' at home

Come on with it

[Verse 2]

(I don't know what this world is comin' to)

[Verse 3]

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

Yeah, you got that good stuff, but that don't last (No way)

So I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

[Verse 4]

Oh, Lord, how am I to ever explain?

How my melted heart went right down the drain

'Cause if you don't want me (Release) beep, beep (Beep, beep)

Want some (Want some) Take me (Uh)

He will take me right out your way

Come on with it

[Verse 5]

(I don't know what this world is comin' to)

[Verse 6]

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

Yeah, you got that good stuff, but that don't last (No way)

So I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

[Verse 7]

Gonna go, really?

You can say what you want

But I'm out that door, you can't stop me

Oh, my man, oh, Lord

[Verse 8]

(I don't know what this world is comin' to)

[Verse 9]

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

Yeah, you got that good stuff, but that don't last (No way)

So I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

[Verse 10]

Just puttin' it like it is

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Change your ways

Don't I deserve it, babe?

Looky here

'Cause, boy, you drive me outta my mind

[Verse 11]

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

I just can't rely on you (Just can't rely on you)

Yeah, you got that good stuff, but that don't last (No way)

Ain't good enough for me, baby (Just can't rely on you)
