I understand [x 4] Girl I understand, I understand, See I understand, Verse 1: You used to be the life of the party But now you walk with your head hung low Cause he ride your nerves like a harley And it's obvious to those who know Now you taken to wearing make up To hide the marks that wasn't there before In your heart you want to break up Can't find the nerve to walk out the door Chorus: Why don't you take those chains and break those chains No love should cause you so much pain Why don't you walk away before it gets too late Leave him now (see I understand) Love should never hurt Verse 2: You should have left the first time that he hit you But instead you just stayed and cried Your friends and family tried to tell you But you told them to mind their B.I. A career girl with a bright future You had so much going on in your life Since that man came along and abused you Your life has been everything but right Two babies at home, can't pay the damn loan Girl it's all wrong, you gotta move on You say you really love him, I understand lady but tell me Chorus: Why don't you take those chains and break those chains No love should cause you so much pain Why don't you walk away before it gets too late Leave him now (see I understand) Love should never hurt Verse 3: Why don't you leave that man, go on your own You're so fine, you are strong Spread your wings, fly away Girl don't cry another day Don't give up, take a chance Find your way, take a stand You'll find that there's a better plan out there for you Chorus Till Fade
