| Oh oh
 | 
| Hoh ooh oh oh
 | 
| You talk a good game (Oh oh oh oh)
 | 
| I really wanna believe you (Oh oh oh oh)
 | 
| But I got questions in my head like
 | 
| Is it true?
 | 
| What to do?
 | 
| I don’t wanna see myself
 | 
| Play the fool
 | 
| Baby ooh
 | 
| Uh uh
 | 
| No way
 | 
| I prefer you keep it real with me
 | 
| Cause I-I don’t think I could take
 | 
| Another broken promise
 | 
| Why do things the hard way
 | 
| When you can 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?
 | 
| Cause if you give me your love
 | 
| Then I give you mines back
 | 
| If you get to acting up
 | 
| I cut you off like that
 | 
| I don’t think I could take
 | 
| Another broken promise
 | 
| Why do things the hard way?
 | 
| If love
 | 
| Is free
 | 
| And talk
 | 
| Is cheap
 | 
| Don’t make me pay for all your mistakes boy
 | 
| Finally go, just be free
 | 
| Thought you’d get to know me
 | 
| Don’t tell the same stories
 | 
| You talk a good game (Oh oh oh oh)
 | 
| I really wanna believe you (Oh ooh ooh oh ooh ooh)
 | 
| Oh oh (oh oh)
 | 
| I don’t think I could take another broken promise
 | 
| Why do things the hard way
 | 
| When you can 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?
 | 
| Cause if you give me your love
 | 
| Then I give you mines back
 | 
| If you get to acting up
 | 
| I cut you off like that
 | 
| I don’t think I could take
 | 
| Another broken promise
 | 
| Why do things the hard way?
 | 
| Promises and promises
 | 
| You say they all counterfeit
 | 
| If we start off telling lies
 | 
| This love will never 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 you bound to get
 | 
| Give me one shot, better pour it quick
 | 
| Imma kill it girl, full clip
 | 
| You wearing all white, I’m in all black
 | 
| We standing by the pulpit
 | 
| You say I do, I say I do
 | 
| I’m tired of all the bullshit
 | 
| I don’t think I could take another broken promise
 | 
| Why do things the hard way
 | 
| When you can 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?
 | 
| Cause if you give me your love
 |

 |

 | 
| I don’t think I could take
 | 
| Another broken promise
 | 
| Why do things the hard way?
 | 
| Talk a good game
 | 
| Really wanna believe you |
