Baby, I Love You, But...
You say “baby, I love you, but...”
I believe what you say
Then you tell me I should stay home
And not hang out with my friends today
I say “sure,” because you love me, right?
You love me, so I won’t go out tonight
You say “baby, I love you, but...”
I believe what you say
So that’s why when you say
You don’t want my guy friends around
I push them away
Because you love me, right?
You say “baby, I love you, but…”
I begin to doubt you
You raised your voice
And now I’m scared, but
“No one else will ever want you”
This isn’t good, not healthy at all
You misuse and you abuse me
Your excuses start losing credibility
The more you use them, the less I believe
So now “baby, I love you”
Is nothing but a lie
You’re not good for me and I know this now
So I’m not going to stay
