How many times you're gonna let him use you

You think that you would know by now

How could you let him treat you so bad

How many times will you, let him break your heart



I heard he lied to you

I heard your love he abused

Don't say it isn't so

I see it in your eyes

It's something you can't hide



Hook



He gives you lonely nights

And he can hear you cry

And your love he always denies

He's never gonna change

He just can't accept the blame



Hook



Girl dry your eyes

Get up off your face

Don't be ashamed

Find someone else new

Someone who'll appreciate you

Always love you



Hook (2 times)
