The oddity of this baby

Is never once did we say that we were through

Scripted as it may seem

Never once did we perceive what we should do

Yeah, well, you remember down at the lakefront

Where you confessed you must be blunt?

Well, you took all I had that day

Said you couldn't be that strong

Said you couldn't carry on

And all we had was prayed and betrayed

But if you can't love me now

And you're feeling bound

Why you always hang around?

But if you can't love me now

And you're feeling bound

Why you always hang around?

I'm gonna chalk it up as a loss it's said

That every motion that I have is

Focusin' on different functions

You make me feel like I'm takin' punches

I will not be the one who's blamed

As you elevate toward a higher plane and

Leave me all alone and ashamed

Cause girl, if you're gonna play

I must relate it just won't be okay, lord no

If you're gonna play

I must relate you won't be okay, lord no

If you can't love me now

And you're feeling bound

Why you always hang around?

If you say you can't love me now

And you're feeling bound

Why you always hang around?

If you say you can't love me now

Why you always hang around?

If you say you can't love me now

Why you hang around?

If you can't love me baby

Why you always hang around?

If you can't love me baby

Don't you hang around
