Oooh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oooooh oh oh oh
Oh

Now I'm reminded of the summer
When I thought I knew ya
A fool believin everything you told me
And even maybe last winter when I thought your heart was in it
And you said you'd do whatever for me
I was lured into lies
Got lost in your eyes
Let you violate my trust time n time again
And when you cried about your life
I would sympathize
Welcome you with open arms my friends they call me foolish

(oh oh oh oh)
Too many times I put myself on the line tryin to protect you
(oh oh oh oh)
Similar to a drug it took me too many doses
'fore the poison hit me
(oh oh oh oh)
Now I'm left here feelin like
I been struck by lightning this is frightening
Cause all my friends warned me and ain't believe them now
I want you to know

Although you may be grown it's evident you haven't been raised
Comin from a broken home
and with little friends that you claim are fake
I hadta learn that I could not believe the things you say
But you gone learn the hard way baby
You cannot break the arms that hold you daily

You claim to came from the hood
Often misunderstood
Abused neglected and looked down upon
And all I did was treat you good when no one else could
Bare to even look at you
Broke relations with ya friends
Manipulated them with no attempts to make ammends
That shoulda warned me
If I woulda listened to my mother or maybe all the others
That tried to warn me that you was schemin-

(oh oh oh oh)
Too many times I put myself on the line tryin to protect you
(oh oh oh oh)
Similar to a drug it took me too many doses
'fore the poison hit me
(oh oh oh oh)
Now I'm left here feelin like
I been struck by lightning this is frightening
Cause all my friends warned me and ain't believe them now
I want you to know ohhhhhhhhhhh

Although you may be grown it's evident you haven't been raised
Comin from a broken home and with little friends
that you claim are fake
I hadta learn that I could not believe the things you say
But you gone learn the hard way baby
You cannot break the arms that hold you daily- oh

(I wish you well-, you well you well)
And I don't hate you cause you made me better,
girl the shit's made me better. and I promise
I can get through anything
(wish you well-, you well you well)
No matter the weather baby look what you did
(I wish you well-, you well you well)
Girl I loved you, you coulda had my kids.

But girl I thought you was wrong
when you did what you did, you thought you was clever
but girl, ys shit coulda been better baby no

(wish you well-, you well you well)
And I want you to know that I don't really hate ya
