I Don't Understand
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
Verse
I'm sitting here by myself, feeling alone
I got a call from my girlfriend
Begging me to leave you alone
She told me she saw you
The other night at a bar
You were wrapped up real tight with someone in the dark
Well it wasn't me
Cause I was here waiting on you
And you're a pathological lair
Never telling the truth, what do you want me to do
Chrous
I don't understand, why you do the things you do
And why you had to hurt me so bad, as good as I been to you (hmmm)
I don't understand, why you do the things you do
And why you had to hurt me so bad, as good as I been to you (hmmm)
Verse
You told me not to worry, and stop having all the doubts
I got a call from another girlfriend
Telling me I ought to put you out (hmmm)
You're the talk of the town
Running around having fun
Like a fool I'm sitting at home thinking I'm your #1 (hmmm)
Well it's not fair
And how could you not care
As good as I been to you
How could you do the things you do, I don't understand no........
Repeat chrous
Hook
Well I'll let you go
I'm not fighting over you
How could you hurt me so bad
As good as I been to you
Repeat chrous
