[Chorus] You got to know what your love is worth Baby boy you got to know what your love is worth Baby girl you got to know what your love is worth Everybody got to know what their love is worth
[Verse One] Yeah, you got to know what your love is worth As soon as a child is born and discovers earth It's a part of life, so don't get fucked in the end If someone's a lost cause, they'll be summoned up to start again Example, you a woman, in a relationship It seems like everything you do makes him flip It ain't physical violence, or nothing like that But the love that you show he doesn't show back But it started when you first met You looked incredible to him, he wanted to get his thirst wet (yeah, I bet) He wanted to be down like Brandy At first his overbearing persona was so manly (ooooh) But now you're thinkin' most of the time, "he can't stand me" He lost trust in you when he saw you with Randy (haha) But then you find out he feel good about Candy You thinkin' this relationship is really demanding Everyone makes mistakes and that's true But from the beginning did he really love you? To him you a bitch, he told his boys he dug you out And nowadays he don't even hug you (doubts) And I'm sure it do more than bug you You wonder how you get attracted to these With a mackin disease, with a tactic to please But once you settle down you're entrapped in a squeeze Like a boa constrictor and he know when he gets ya You got to know what your love is worth That way you don't waste it on the world goin berserk Yeah
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
(guys talking)
[Verse Two] Now put yourself in the shoes of this guy You fall in love with this girl and you don't know why (why dude?) Cause you don't feel the same but u give it a try Eyes wide, like you a child in a candy store Even though you the one she couldn't stand before Cause you was houndin' her, surroundin' her (damn) with confusion You used to be friends, but now the friendship is losin' Cause you visualize the romance, she like "no hands on" She don't wanna fuck with no man, "not even a slow dance?" You tried to kiss her and she even agrees But that don't mean you ‘bout to be Adam and Eve In the Garden of Eden, but maybe for the evening You say she leading you on, but you just added pressure Of course she like you, you're friends don't try to test her She says she likes you as a friend, not a lover or wife So get a life, let her live hers and find another Don't let her smash her ego, cause we know you're great Let it be her mistake, yeah Don't waste your time bro cause you know If she don't appreciate what he do for her Then tell me why he should wait around
