Ask Myself

Mary J. Blige · Other Songs - Mary J. Blige

You know everyday I ask myself the same question

Mary why you going through this

Why you takin yourself through this

But when you love somebody and

Maybe they might not love you but

It's hard, it's just so hard but

I just gotta think about myself

Right now and but I gotta remember this



I don't know why

Why you came in my life just to see me cry

Or maybe to see me die

But look at me now

You disguise yourself so well

That I didn't know that I was walkin into hell

But my soul I would never sale

That's why I have this story to tell

And I wanna know



Where is my happy ending

I always knew you were pretending

Now it's clear to see

That there was no real love

From the beginning

See I need to know

Where is my happy ending

You hurt me so bad

There is no mending

Now it's clear to see

That there was no real love

From the beginning



How could you be so cruel

To turn yourself into a fool

Not knowing love was real



Even though you still wasted all my time boy

Now let's go back to day one

When all we knew was having fun

But you stumbled across someone who's better than me

Now I know I ought to be free



Where is my happy ending

I always knew you were pretending

Now it's clear to see

That there was no real love

From the beginning

Where is my happy ending

You hurt me so bad

There is no mending

Now it's clear to see

That there was no real love

From the beginning



You didn't love me, you were fakin

The whole thing was a hoax and I was blind

You really hurt me

What goes around comes around

And the pain you caused will come back to you



Where is my happy ending

I always knew you were pretending

Now it's clear to see

That there was no real love

From the beginning

I need to know

Where is my happy ending

You hurt me so bad

There is no mending

Now it's clear to see

That there was no real love

From the beginning
