"You Can't (Love Me)" lyrics

"You Can't (Love Me)"

You can't love and leave me when you want to
And you can't have your cake I made then take mine too
No you can't throw me outside each time you say you're through
No, you not walking out of my life when it's convenient for you

I know I said I'd hold you down
But you not giving what I'm hoping that I'm bringing round the table
I don't think you're able to love me like the fable sounds
Or maybe I'm disabled how
I give you all that I'm saving
Staying complacent, chasing somebody that's missing now
Well I'm here, I guess I'll listen now
To your tales about the pimpin' or the pools of swimming women
That be kissing on you, tempting me to leave before you figure out
I've already written vows, so I don't think I'll stick around
'Cause I peep just how you getting down
And I think that we should wait awhile, 'cause

You can't love and leave me when you want to
And you can't have your cake I made then take mine too
No you can't throw me outside each time you say you're through
No, you not walking out of my life when it's convenient for you

I've got less than what a Queen deserves
And you pick and choose to love and curve
And I'm sorry if I'm on your nerves
But I can't let you use me
Boy I can see through all your lies
What happened to you being mine
Now my heart is broken with more wasted time
Of me being committed to a wandering eye
And I refuse to lose you that easy
Deep down you still know you need me
Who else gon' hold you down weakly
Despite the pain that you bring me
But no I've been the fool for too long
Believed you loved me but I was wrong
Make up your mind before I am gone

You can't love and leave me when you want to
And you can't have your cake I made then take mine too
No you can't throw me outside each time you say you're through
No, you not walking out of my life when it's convenient for you

No, don't you dare, oh
You can't compare, no
You wasn't there, no
You can't, you can't tell me what to do
You can't say I don't love you
You can't say I want this
You can't play me for no fool

You can't love me then leave me
You can't love me then leave me
You not gon' love me then leave me
You not gon' love me then leave me
You not gon' love me then leave me

Say, next time a man come and love me then leave me
I'll give him heebies and jeebies
And there will be no more them freebies
'Cause niggas, cause negus be greedy, lowkey

You can't love me then leave me
You can't love me then leave me
You not gon' love me then leave me
You not gon' love me then leave me
You not gon' love me then leave me
