[Chorus]

Love won't come from someone who don't

Want to see you thrive

So if his love is holding you down

That's not love, baby girl, that's pride

If he's holding you down inside

Then love is something he won't provide (No, no, no)

If he's holding you down inside

Then love is something he won't provide

[Verse 1]

Love is patient, love is pure

Love isn't a game that people play when they're lonely or insecure, no

Love is selfless, love is kind

Love is something you can only give if you wanna see somebody shine

There isn't a thing I wouldn't do for you

I would bury my pride just to bear your fruits

If love is a verb, then let your actions show

Otherwise, you gotta let them go, and you should know that

[Chorus]

Love won't come from someone who don't

Want to see you thrive

So if her love is holding you down

That's not love anymore, that's pride

If she's holding you down inside

Then love is something she won't provide

If she's holding you down inside

Then love is something she won't provide (I said girl)

[Verse 2]

Girl, I hate it when you frown

Love to turn that upside down

But at the same time, if you need to be sad

I'm right here in your corner 'til the sadness passes, baby

I'd love to watch your dreams come true

I'll do what I have to do for you (Yeah)

But if it means that I'm watching from the side

Girl, you're worthy of the glory, I just want to see you shine

'Cause your language of love is a tongue of the soul

When I tell you I love you, it means I will go

To the ends of the Earth just to water your rose

If I say I love you, it’s because I know that

[Chorus]

Love won't come from someone who don't

Want to see you thrive

So if their love is holding you down

That's not love anymore, that's pride

If they’re holding you down inside

Then love is something they won't provide

If they’re holding you down inside

Then love is something they won't provide

I said love won't come from someone who don't

Want to see you thrive

So if their love is holding you down

That's not love baby girl, that's pride

Said if they’re holding you down inside

Love is something they won't provide

Said if they’re holding you down inside

Then love is something they won't provide

[Outro]

If they're holding you, holding you, holding you

If they’re holding you, holding you, holding you

If they’re holding you down then baby

Maybe (Gotta cut like)

Love won't come from someone who don't

Want to see you thrive

So if their love is holding you down

That's not love, baby girl, that's pride
