Lyrics

Boo

He tends to get carried away

Like a talk show he's got drama everyday

Lots of rage and mental abusing

The way he treats me it's obvious he's confusing

Me for some dumb bitch

Who will stick around

I tend to stick around

You

Tell me that you love me if it's true

Why am i runnin from you and who

Are these bitches on my answering machine

Yeah you, you tell me that you love me but boo

If this is love

It's a good thing you don't hate me

Superfly

Someone who'll at least try

Who'll smoke me out from time to time

And love me all nite

Tell me everything about him

And none of it turns out to be lies

Easy

Rainbows

These words come to mind

And he loves me all nite

You

Tell me that you love me if it's true

Why am i runnin from you and who

Are these bitches on my answering machine

Yeah you, you tell me that you love me but boo

If this is love

Its a good thing you dont hate me

Never settle for the things that you dont really want

Cause all it gets you is a big ol piece of unhappiness

Happiness could be mine but its so hard to talk to you

Baby

One day i will

Some day i will and

This is what ill say

Hold me close

Cause im the most and

Make a toast to you and me

See thats the way loves supposed to be

Not stressful...alright

You

Tell me that you love me if its true

Why am i runnin from you and who

Are these bitches on my answering machine

Yeah you, you tell me that you love me but boo

If this is love

Its a good thing you dont hate me

Never settle for the things that you dont really want

Cause all it gets you is a big ol piece of unhappiness

Its a good thing you dont hate me

If this is love how could this be
