Do For Love
I wanna take your misery / Replace it with happiness / But I need your faith in me
Turn it up loud
Hahaha, ahahaha, hey man
You a little sucker for love, right?
Word up, hahahahaha
I shoulda seen you was trouble right from the start
Taught me so many lessons
How not to mess with broken hearts
So many questions
When this began we was the perfect match, perhaps
We had some problems but we workin at it, and now
The arguments are gettin’ loud
I wanna stay
But I can’t help from walkin’ out
Let’s throw it away
Just take my hand and understand
If you could see
I never planned to be your man
It just wasn’t me
But now I’m searchin’ for commitment
In other arms
I wanna shelter you from harm
Don’t be alarmed
Your attitude was the cause
You got me stressin’
Soon as I open up the door with your jealous questions
Like where can I be you’re killin’ me with your jealousy
Now my ambition’s to be free
I can’t breathe
’Cause soon as I leave
It’s like a trap
I hear you callin’ me to come back
I’m a sucka for love
[Chorus] [Eric Williams] (x2)
What you won’t do
Do for love
You tried everything
But you don’t give up
Just when I thought I broke away and I’m feelin’ happy
You try to trap me
Say you pregnant and guess who the daddy
Don’t wanna fall for it
But in this case what could I do?
So now I’m back
To makin promises to you
Tryin to keep it true
What if I’m wrong
A trick to keep me holdin on
Tryin’ to be strong and in the process
Keep you goin
I’m bout to lose my composure
I’m gettin’ close
To packin’ up and leavin’ notes
And gettin’ ghost
Tell me who knows
A peaceful place where I can go
To clear my head I’m feelin low
Losin control
My heart is sayin’ leave
Oh what a tangle web we weave
When we conspire to conceive, and now
You gettin’ calls at the house
Guess you cheatin’
That’s all I need to hear cause I’m leavin’
I’m out the do’
Never no more will you see me
This is the end
Cause now I know you’ve been cheatin
I’m a sucka for love
[Hook] (x2)
Now he left you with scars
Tears on your pillow and you still stay
As you sit and pray
Hoping the beatings’ll go away
It wasn’t always a hit and run relationship
It use to be love, happiness and companionship
Remember when I treated you good
I moved you up to the hills
Out the ills of the ghetto hood
Me and you a happy home
When it was on
I had a love to call my own
I shoulda seen you was trouble but I was lost
Trapped in your eyes
Preoccupied with gettin’ tossed
No need to lie
You had a man and I knew it
You told me
Don’t worry bout it we can do it
Now I’m under pressure
Make a decision cause I’m waitin’
When I’m alone
I’m on the phone havin’ secret conversations, huh
I wanna take your misery
Replace it with happiness
But I need your faith in me
I’m a sucka for love
[Hook] (repeated w/ variations until the end)
