[Intro: Kelly Rowland]
Oh, woah, oh, woah
[Verse 1: Kelly Rowland]
You talk a good game (Oh, oh, oh)
I really wanna believe you (Oh, oh)
But I got questions in my head like (Is it true? What to do?)
I don't wanna see myself (Play the fool, baby, ooh)
Uh, uh, no way
I prefer you keep it real with me 'cause I-I
[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
Don't think I can take another broken promise
Why do things the hard way when you can just be honest? (Be honest)
I'mma do what I'm supposed to do if you tell me you got us
Why do things the hard way? (Hard way)
'Cause if you give me your love and I give you mine's back
If you get to acting up, I cut you off like that (Ah)
I don't think I can take another broken promise (Ah, ah, ah)
Why do things the hard way? (Hard way)
[Verse 2: Kelly Rowland]
If love is free
And talk is cheap
Don't make me pay for all your mistakes, boy
Finally go, just be free
Thought you'd get to know me
Don't tell the same stories
[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
You talk a good game (Oh, oh, oh)
I really wanna believe you (Oh, woah; oh, oh)
Mmm, I
[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
Don't think I can take another broken promise
Why do things the hard way when you can just be honest? (Be honest)
I'mma do what I'm supposed to do if you tell me you got us
Why do things the hard way? (Hard way)
'Cause if you give me your love and I give you mine's back
If you get to acting up, I cut you off like that (Ah)
I don't think I can take another broken promise (Ah, ah, ah)
Why do things the hard way? (Hard way)
[Bridge: Kelly Rowland]
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 3: Kevin Cossom]
Promises and promises, you say they all counterfeit
If we start off telling lies, this love will never amount to shit
You really think me, I'm the one? Or you just like the sound of it?
If the motive's all wrong, heartache's what you 'bound to get
Give me one shot, better pour it quick
I'ma kill it girl, fu-full clip
You wearing all white, I'm in all black, we standing by the pulpit
You say I do, I say I do, I'm tired of all the bullshit
[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
I don't think I can take another broken promise
Why do things the hard way when you can just be honest? (Be honest)
I'mma do what I'm supposed to do if you tell me you got us
Why do things the hard way? (Eh)
'Cause if you give me your love and I give you mine's back
If you get to acting up, I cut you off like that (Ah)
I don't think I can take another broken promise (Ah, ah, ah; Ooh, ah, ah)
Why do things the hard way? (Hard way)
[Outro: Kelly Rowland]
You talk a good game
I really wanna believe you
