No Man No Cry
Kelly Rowland · Ms Kelly (Deluxe Edition) [2008]
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...
