|
| Being nice no never got you very far

| You cop it sweet now get on play your part
|
| Sweet memory can’t help you grow
|
| Unless you want to live in the past
|
| And live in what you know

| You know the rules where’d they ever get you
|
| Someone’s gonna push until they get a rise out of you
|
| So come out and say it
|
| This ain’t the way you wanted to play it
|
| When your frustration flies over your eyes
|
| And you see your girl with another guy
|
| How many times are you going to live this through
|
| He ain’t gonna change, he doesn’t deserve you
|
| If you’re gonna try well it’s got to come true
|
| Pick up all your strength and we’ll be waiting here for you
|
| If you’re got your doubts, think a year down the line
|
| If you think it’s bad now, well baby give it time
|
| He seems to squeeze, all the love out of you
|
| I’m scared he ain’t gonna leave nothing left for you
|
| So come out and say it
