The Morning After

You know he's wrong, when he stays out all night long
And he don't return your calls, well I ain't got time for that
You better walk away, girl it's time to make that change
You know that all men ain't the same
Cause I be lovin' my man cuz he don't get down like that

[Chorus:]
If he's giving you more (than a little bit)
And if he's giving his all (can you handle it)
You keep holding it down
Yeah if he's givin' it up
Hold it down for the one you love

See I remember those days when they took more than they gave
And the tears rolled down my face, for someone to give me that good love
But then he came and turned my lonely nights to brighter days
And I never will be the same
Cause I be lovin' my man, ladies can you feel me
And if your man is givin' you more

[Chorus]

Is it his style- He's got the jeans and Timbs and the iced out pinky ring
Is it his ride- Got the Benz on chrome but it don't mean a thing to me
Does he spend time- takin' first class flights but I'd rather be at home
So he can touch me, slowly, cause when we're all alone, he gives me more

[Chorus]

Oh you think you found somebody that could treat you (like I did)
Spend their time doin for you (like I did)
And be there when you say I need you (like I did)
Now this I can't believe

Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you (like I did)
Take all this foolishness from you (like I did)
See if she doesn't she will leave you (like I did)
Then don't come runnin' to me

It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me

[Chorus:]
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby
Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
I choose to leave

Now when you realize you really had a good thing (like you did)
Then you'll realize you dogged me (like you did)
Wished you never though of cheating (like you did)
Maybe then you'll see

It wasn't cool breaking promises to me (like you did)
Had no reason to deny me (like you did)
Had no shame, you still lied to me (like you did)
Now it's easy to leave

It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me

[Chorus]

No matter what you do
Don't care what you say
Gotta get away
I won't be second to no one
I can live with the choice I made
Won't look back, no way
I can make it on my own without you

[Chorus]

Well it's a party
The lights are low and I'm seein everybody
Just havin some fun
And there's a cutie who's wavin' Hi
Givin me the eye
I guess I'm gonna give him a try, but it's

[Chorus:]
Just a dance nothing more
Leave what happens on the floor
On the floor
You can look but you can't touch because
It's just a dance nothing more
What you need my number for
Ain't no need for you to even think romance
Cause it's just a dance

You might be thinkin'
That because we're dancin close
And we're vibin' that you're gonna get lucky
Take it easy, it's just a party
So let the DJ do his thing and let the music play
Cause it's just a dance

I wanna enjoy the party and have fun like everybody
but your messin' up my groove
What did you come here to do
I won't be goin' home with you

[Chorus]

Ooh baby I didn't come here to fight
So why you wanna mess with me
Ooh I'm always willing to compromise with you
But you ain't controlling me

Cause I came here to make love not war with you babe
So try to find some ways to make me feel good

[Chorus:]
Up and down in and out
That's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us
Feeling good and so helpless
Up and down in and out
Love keeps moving us around
To the beat like a drum
I don't know if I can catch your rhythm

Ooh you know me better than I know myself
So why you keep teasing me
Ooh can't see me being with nobody else
Cause you love me so crazy yeah

Cause I came here to make love not war with you babe
So try to find some ways to make me feel good

[Chorus]

You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act the fool tonight
You need to change your attitude
Cause I ain't arguing with you, your right
You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act the fool tonight
You need to change your attitude
So I aint arguing with you your right

[Chorus]

Look at you
Different day but same damn bags
You're on my porch
And I don't even have to ask
I see tears in your eyes
As you come inside and breakdown

So what's he done
And I hope this don't take long
Cause you know one call from him
And you'll be home before morn
Here's a friendly hug
Followed by tough love
Are you ready?

[Chorus:]
He's only gonna treat you
The way he knows he can
It's all up to you my sista to show him that he can't
Have you had enough
Cause it's been long enough
Time for a change
Starting with you

No, don't say a word
Listen to Deborah for once
Cause I went thru the same thing
So I'll tell you what needs to be done
Mavis said it best
Girl respect yourself
It starts with you

You want him to be a better man
And you want him to treat you better than you treat yourself,
Girl you can help by showing him how he can
You can start by building your self esteem
Start believing you can do anything
And you'll find your man will fall in line
And if he don't than leave him behind

[Chorus]

Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
Never even asked what was on my mind (oh)
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans

[Chorus:]
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?

Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park, but where were you
I waited, but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same
Every word I said, he listened to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more

[Chorus]

The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely

If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe

[Chorus]
