What You Won't Do 4 Love
2Pac · Other Songs - 2Pac
I lay awake tonight because I want to be with you
If you were beside me I'd playful kiss you
Each time I see you the feeling gets stronger
We sit a bit closer and stare alot longer
Reach for my drink and for a second we touch
Went to mutter I stuttered cause I want you that much
The situation is a no win cause he's my best friend
But now I'm guilty of falling for his girl friend
It's like a trap that I'm sinking into
I wake up sweaty when I'm sleeping cause I'm thinking of you
Then we make eye contact and I can't fall back
Try to shake it but the feeling comes right back
Now I'm confused cause I'm no Casanova
But you keep calling me saying to come over
What do I do you make it hard for me to choose
What I won't do for love
(Talking)ChorusX3:What you won't Do For Love
(Verse 2)
Scars tears on your pillow and you still stay
As you sit and pray hoping the beatings will go away
And wasn't always a hit and run relationship
It use to be love,happiness and companionship
Way back when he treated you good
moved you up to the hills
Out of the ills of the ghetto hood
You felt as though you owed him your life
It felt right you said yes and now you're really his wife
He got you pregnant but the baby just wouldn't live
Stuff that she couldn't give
So things got negative
And that's when a stranger came through
And he's pestering you about the things you couldn't do
You said you happy at home right
But that's just a lie as you cry through a long night
Until I came to rescue you making you choose
What you won't do for love
