Lose To Win
Fantasia · Side Effects Of You [2013]
Sometimes it's just that money, never had to afford me
Now I'm sick and tired of you, just takin' right off
Know when I forgive you
You ain't here for dinner
Like I'm a beginner, I loved you for your inner, inner, inner
And the next guy is out there somewhere,
But you won't dare, cause you're too scared
Have you ever needed someone so bad
But he ain't willing to make it last
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
If it makes you cry, cry, cry
And all you do is smile
Can't get no sleep at night
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
Ever felt this sorry? All you did was worry
You didn't want nobody, thought it would get better
But it's fallen more than
Oh it's fallen more than ever
I just hoped that we would
Cause you're always up to no good
Maybe it'll take someone else to show me better
But I don't wanna leave ya
Oh, ey
Have you ever needed someone so bad
But he ain't willing to make it last
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
If it makes you cry, cry, cry
And all you do is smile
Can't get no sleep at night
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
Some of you know what it feels like
Caught up just in his life
Don't wanna try again, thinking what's the difference
Why am I not interested
Cause when you've been broken, you feel like no one can fix it
Yeah
Have you ever needed someone so bad
But he ain't willing to make it last
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
Oh if it makes cry
If it makes you cry, cry, cry
Cause all you do is smile
Can't get no sleep at night
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
Have you ever needed someone so bad
To make it last
Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
