You talk a good game
I really want to believe you
But I got questions in my head like
(is it true, what to do)
I don't want to see myself
(play the fool, baby, ooh)
Uh uh, no way
I prefer you keep it real with me
Cuz I-I
I don't think I can take another broken promise
Why do things the hard way when you could just be honest
And Imma do what I'm supposed to do if you tell me you got us
Why do things the hard way
Cuz if you give me your love and I give you mines back
If you get to acting up I cut you off like that
(I) don't think I can take another broken promise
Why do things the hard way
If love is free, and tough is cheap
(don't make me pay for all your mistakes, boy)
Finally go, just be free
Let you get to know me
(don't tell the same stories)

Why do things the hard way
Promises and promises
You say they all counterfeit
If we starting off tellin lies this love ain't ever amount to shit
You really think me, I'm the one or you just like the sound of it
If the motive's all wrong heartaches what your bound to get
Give me one shot
Better ball quick
Imma kill it, girl, full clip
You wearing all white, I'm in all black
We standing by the ball pit
You say I do, I say I do
I'm tired of the bullshit
I don't think I can take another broken promise
