"The Gym" lyrics
(feat. Musiq Soulchild)
[Angie Stone:]
It's like I'm sweatin' you just for second place
I'm on a chase for love, but there ain't a race
Heavy on my heart, my soul, mind and body
Take it easy, I'm out of shape
And the weight is starting to wear me down
Like a dumb-dumbbell, I stuck around
Addin' pound after pound, I was in love with him
Hey, but this ain't workin' out, it's nothing like the gym
You outta line, ain't no forgiving this
Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership
I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim
I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts
Why he keep testing my strength?
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
[Musiq Soulchild:]
We on the outs again and it's stretchin' thin
Runnin' out of patience, no second wind
She's just a friend, don't jump to conclusions
How much further you want me to bend?
Either way, you're startin' to wear me down
I don't know why I still stick around
Girl, you sweat me so tough, feels like I'm getting thin
This ain't gon' work out again, it's nothin' like the gym
[Angie Stone:]
You outta line, ain't no forgiving this
Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership
I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim
I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts
Why he keep testing my strength?
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
You chewed me off, you tracked my pace
Then when it's time for you to spot me, you run away
Then you got the nerve to say
"Coaches don't play," yeah, right (You know you a)
You a spectator, instigator
Watchin' me go harder than you to save us
I had to cut you loose
My troubles are over
You outta line, ain't no forgiving this
Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership
I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim
I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts
Why he keep testing my strength?
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
Why he keep testing my strength? ('Cause my heart can't lift what you want me to carry)
Oh, yeah
It's like I'm sweatin' you just for second place
I'm on a chase for love, but there ain't a race
Heavy on my heart, my soul, mind and body
Take it easy, I'm out of shape
And the weight is starting to wear me down
Like a dumb-dumbbell, I stuck around
Addin' pound after pound, I was in love with him
Hey, but this ain't workin' out, it's nothing like the gym
You outta line, ain't no forgiving this
Can't work this out, I'm declining your membership
I'm too fit for your games, you can't keep playing those
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
Tryin' to carry your baggage, our chances are slim
I maxed out on the weight, making no more attempts
Why he keep testing my strength?
This ain't gon' work out with him, it's nothing like the gym
