Let Go

A player only loves you when he's playing 
 girlfriend I hope you listen to what I'm saying 
 how you think you gonna stop him from betraying 
 can't teach an old dog new tricks you know 
 you like a man who's rough around the edges 
 claiming he's changing, a bunch of empty pledges 
 can't believe a damn thing he alleges 
 think twice before you head on down that road 


 ladies you got to learn to let go 
 cause he ain't never gonna change no 
 now it's time to show him out the door 
 not gonna take his mess nor more 


 he got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 if he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town 
 got to let go, got to say no 
 even your friends try to tell you he's messing around 
 got to let go, got to let go 


 they promise you the stars in the beginning 
 it takes a while for you to find out that he's swindeling 
 depending on your money and he's clinging 
 you live and learn only if you recognize 
 you stick with him because you thinks he needs you 
 it's almost like you don't see the way he treats you 
 there's even talk you won't leave him because you're too weak to 


 ladies you got to learn to let go 
  
 cause he ain't never gonna change no 
 now it's time to show him out the door 
 not gonna take his mess nor more 



 he got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 if he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town 
 got to let go, got to say no 
 even your friends try to tell you he's messing around 
 got to let go, got to let go 


 and don't think I haven't been through it all myself 
 Songtexte hoping that one day he'll become someone else 


 he got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 if he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town 
 got to let go, got to say no 
 even your friends try to tell you he's messing around 
 got to let go, got to let go 


 he be puffing on weed first thing in the morn' 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 is he still sitting in the same spot when you get home 
 got to let go, got to let go 
 the whole world's against him, but it's never his fault 
 got to let go, got to say no 
 you try to break it down, but he don't hear you at all 
 got to let go, got to let go
