Don't Waste Your Time

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige]

Lately I've got this funny feelin'

Somethin' don't feel the same

But he's tellin' me I'm the one to blame

Yes, I know that he still gives me good lovin'

But when he's deep inside

There's somebody else on his mind

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Both]

Don't waste your time

But it gets so hard to know

Just walk away

You say that I gotta let go

Seen it a million times before

You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Can't waste my time

Girl, it's not hard to know

Should walk away

Yeah, you've gotta let him go

Seen it a million times before

Shouldn't take his sh... no more

[Verse 2: Aretha Franklin & Mary J. Blige]

Sister girl, sister girl

It's much deeper than what you're thinkin', ooh

When somethin' don't feel the same

You better believe his love has changed

(And I've been tellin' you, tellin' you)

And what you're tellin' me

('Cause it's been hurtin' me, hurtin' me)

Any fool can see

He's got a sweetie on the side

Stop making truth out of his lie

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Both]

Don't waste your time

But it gets so hard to know

Just walk away

You say that I gotta let go

Seen it a million times before

You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Can't waste my time

Girl, it's not hard to know

Should walk away

Yeah, you've gotta let him go

Seen it a million times before

Shouldn't take his sh... no more

Shouldn't take it, don't you take it

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige & Aretha Franklin]

What's the point of love when you've got no trust?

What's the point of stayin' when you've seen enough?

What's the point of givin' what he don't deserve?

(He don't deserve it; no, he don't deserve it)

What's the point of feelin' like there's nothin' inside?

What's the point of sayin' that you still got your pride?

What's the point of givin' what he don't deserve?

(This is a lesson for all my ladies)

[Outro: Mary J. Blige & Aretha Franklin]

(Don't waste your time, walk away)

Oh, I'm so tired to walking away over and over

(Seen it a million times before, you shouldn't take it)

No, I shouldn't take it

The boy is a fool, oh, yes he is

(Don't waste your time, walk away)

Shouldn't take it

(Seen it a million times before, you shouldn't take it)

Sister girl, you shouldn't take it

(Don't waste your time, walk away)

You ain't gon' be my friend no more

(Seen it a million times before, you shouldn't take it)

Cut him loose

(Don't waste your time, walk away)

It's a lowdown dirty shame

(Seen it a million times before, you shouldn't take it)

Oh, oh, oh, he worked his game on you

I know

(Don't waste your time, walk away)

Oh, sister girl, you need to walk now

Yes I do, yes I do, yeah

Oh yeah
