No Man No Cry

Kelly Rowland · Ms Kelly (Deluxe Edition) [2008]

No man, no cry.. yeah...



I'm so sick about it

So wrong, but I

Don't know what to do without it

My love, my time, my all

Invested in you so much

I thought I'd never doubt it

Now it hurts so bad,

I wanna scream and shout it

Tell me what happened to the man

That promised the world, and said...



You said that you would be there

Now it seems like you just don't care

And I'm not gonna take it anymore



All of the years that I gave

All of these tears that I waste

I think it's time that I get on with my life

Although I might be alone,

I'm better on my own.

Without you here I'm doing more than just fine

No man, no cry...



It feels good starting over

Me, myself and I, through and through

I thought I told ya

My independence day,

I've found me a brand new life

And though my heart is aching

I get a little stronger with each baby step I'm taking

Looking back on what I've left

I know what I'm doing is right



You said that you would be there

Now it seems like you just don't care

And I'm not gonna take it anymore



All of the years that I gave

All of these tears that I waste

I think it's time that I get on with my life

Although I might be alone,

I'm better on my own.

Without you here I'm doing more than just fine

No man, no cry...



Looky here, see, my eyes are dry

No tears when I said goodbye

Know better than to ask me why

(Don't even try)

Cause I'm gone, so gone

Pack your bags, boy, it's time to carry on

I'm taking back all that's mine



All of the years that I gave

All of these tears that I waste

I think it's time that I get on with my life

Although I might be alone,

I'm better on my own.

Without you here I'm doing more than just fine

No man, no cry...



All of the years that I gave

All of these tears that I waste

I think it's time that I get on with my life

Although I might be alone,

I'm better on my own.

Without you here I'm doing more than just fine

No man, no cry...
