he say to her he wants it easy

he expects her to be easy

he wants it to be easy

but she says no,she says no i don't want to

She says no,she says no, i don't want to

he expects it too,e-easy



but she says stop,you gotta stop

when he says go,you still gotta stop

when she says stop,you gotta stop

when he says go,you still gotta stop

(last two lines x3)



he wants it,he wants it

so badly he wants,he wants it

but she says no,she says no

she says:go to hell if thats all you want me for

and she says no



when she says no,you gotta stop

when he says go,you still gotta stop

when she says no,you gotta stop

when he says go,you still gotta stop



she did nothing to deserve it

he just wants,he wants to observ it

we sit back like they tought us

keep quiet like they tought us

he does nothin'to remove it

he's just as hurt cause he wants to prove it

we sit back like they tougt us

keep quiet,just like they tought us

he just wants,he wants to prove it

he just hurt,she wont remove it

we sit back like they tought us

like they tuoght us,like they tought us......
