The oddity of this baby
Is never once did we say that we were through
Scripted as it may seem
Never once did we perceive what we should do
Yeah, well, you remember down at the lakefront
Where you confessed you must be blunt?
Well, you took all I had that day
Said you couldn't be that strong
Said you couldn't carry on
And all we had was prayed and betrayed
But if you can't love me now,
And you're feeling bound,
Why you always hang around?
But if you can't love me now,
And you're feeling bound,
Why you always hang around?
I'm gonna chalk it up as a loss it's said
That every motion that I have is
focusin' on different functions
You make me feel like I'm takin' punches
I will not be the one who's blamed
As you elevate toward a higher plane and
leave me all alone and ashamed
Cause girl, if you're gonna play
I must relate it just won't be okay, lord no
If you're gonna play
I must relate you won't be okay, lord no
If you can't love me now,
And you're feeling bound,
Why you always hang around?
If you say you can't love me now,
And you're feeling bound,
Why you always hang around?
If you say you can't love me now,
Why you always hang around?
If you say you can't love me now,
Why you hang around?
If you can't love me baby,
Why you always hang around?
If you can't love me baby,
Don't you hang around.
