The Gym

[Verse 1: Angie Stone]

It's like I'm sweatin' you just for second place

I'm on a chase for love, but there ain't a race

Heavy on my heart, my soul, mind and body

Take it easy, I'm out of shape

And the weight is starting to wear me down

Like a dumb-dumbbell, I stuck around

Addin' pound after pound, I was in love with him

Hey, but this ain't workin' out, it's nothing like the gym

[Chorus: Angie Stone]

You outta line, ain't no forgiving this

Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership

I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those

This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym

Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim

I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts

Why he keep tеsting my strength?

This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym

[Verse 2: Musiq Soulchild]

Wе on the outs again and it's stretchin' thin

Runnin' out of patience, no second wind

She's just a friend, don't jump to conclusions

How much further you want me to bend?

Either way, you're startin' to wear me down

I don't know why I still stick around

Girl, you sweat me so tough, feels like I'm getting thin

This ain't gon' work out again, it's nothin' like the gym

[Chorus: Angie Stone]

You outta line, ain't no forgiving this

Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership

I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those

This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym

Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim

I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts

Why he keep testing my strength?

This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym

[Bridge: Angie Stone]

You chewed me off, you tracked my pace

Then when it's time for you to spot me, you run away

Then you got the nerve to say

"Coaches don't play," yeah, right (You know you a)

You a spectator, instigator

Watchin' me go harder than you to save us

I had to cut you loose

My troubles are over

[Chorus: Angie Stone]

You outta line, ain't no forgiving this

Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership

I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those

This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym

Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim

I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts

Why he keep testing my strength?

This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym

[Outro]

Why he keep testing my strength? ('Cause my heart can't lift what you want me to carry)

Oh, yeah
