Lyrics

There's some talk going 'round town
That u really don't give a damn
They say u really put me down
When I'm doing the best I can
I gave u all of my love
I even gave u my body
Tell me baby, ain't that enough?
What more do u want me 2 do?

I play the fool when we're 2gether
But I cry when we're apart, yeah
I couldn't do u no better
Don't break what's left of my broken heart, baby

Chorus:
Why u wanna treat me so bad when u know I love u?
How can u do this 2 me when u know I care?
Why u wanna treat me so bad when u know I love u?

U know I try so hard
2 keep u satisfied
Sometimes u play the part
Sometimes u're so full of pride
And if it's still good 2 ya
Why u wanna treat me so bad?
U used 2 love it when I'd do ya
U used 2 say I was the best u'd ever had

I play the fool when we're 2gether
I give u everything I can, yeah
And if it's still good 2 ya
There's just somethin' that I can't understand
