(Brrt, run it up)

Why do I
Keep on puttin' up with basic?
Keep on fallin' for the same shit?
Why do I
Keep on contemplatin' leavin' you?
Don't want no one else to have you?
Why do I?

Why
Do I put up with the games?
I keep thinkin' that you'll change, same old thing
Why? (Why?)
You be lyin' to my face
When we get to touchin', I just focus
you do somethin' to me
Why
Do I keep on comin' back? (Comin' back)
When I know you'll hurt me bad (Hurt me bad)
Gotta break the cycle, tell me why? (Why?)
It's hard to see the truth
That you're no good for me
(Tell me, baby, why do I)
Somebody tell me why

Keep on puttin' up with basic? (Keep on puttin' up, ooh)
Keep on fallin' for the same shit?
Why do I
Keep on contemplatin' leavin' you? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't want no one else to havе you? (Ooh)
Why do I?

It's about time that I let you go (Go)
But seein' you with someonе else gon' break my soul (Ooh)
So I keep askin' and beggin'
and hopin' and prayin' that you do change
And get back to how we was
when we first met and stay the same
Tell me, baby, why do I?
(Somebody tell me why)

Why do I
Keep on puttin' up with basic? (Keep on puttin' up, ooh)
Keep on fallin' for the same shit?
Why do I
Keep on contemplatin' leavin' you? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't want no one else to have you? (Ooh)
Why do I?
Been around the world and seen a lot of faces (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
But honestly, I don't never want to replace this
Why do I
Keep on puttin' up with basic? (Oh)
Keep on fallin' for the same shit?
(Keep on fallin' for the same old thing, baby?)
Why do I

Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
Ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh, ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why do I?
It's about time that I let you go
But seein' you with someone else gon' break my soul
