Once again standin' here cryin out Energy gone my insides dyin' out Wishin' you was dead or somewhere lyin' out Every time you open ya mouth lies flyin' out Remember when we first met you wit' ya crew Me wit' my girls doin' what we usually do You wit' ya game comin' at me askin' my name Knew it was love first sight you said it the same Talked on the phone the whole night vibe feelin' so right Every step pointin' to love the future so bright Till this girl in my class told me she was pregnant And that you was the dad How she wasn't jealous of me or nothin' I had How you cheated on her several times and treated her bad And as she was tellin' me that my whole world collapsed Feelin' like a fool still in love wit' you
[Chorus (2x):] Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice Tragedy's all in my life Love is what destroyed my life, life
What tricks you gon' play now Nothin' you could say cuz everything is clear now I can see where I made my mistakes Stayin' home a good girlfriend gimmie a break I'd be home alone callin' you catchin' the shakes Every minute till you call back adrealine raced Left me hangin' on my birthday when I stayed at ya place You came home the next morning I just stared in ya face Knew where you was actin' dumb it tore me apart Took it out on your things put the key to your car Felt like you had a knife all this pain in my heart Deep down though still wishin' we could restart For a second I was on top swore I had the cream Rude awakeing nothin' come to sleepers but a dream It's sinkin' in never really loved me and it seemed What was I thinking I was only in my teens
[Chorus (2x):] Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice Tragedy's all in my life Love is what destroyed my life, life
Nowadays when I see you I don't feel bad Got a real love in my life you be a real dad For once in ya life try doin' somethin' right By now you should be ready to slow it down Cuz you know what go 'round come back 'round Even though it hurt to let you go I had to roll A demon in disguise you was tryna take my soul Couldn't make a move you was tryna take control In a way I could only balme myself naive I made the choice to be wit' you and no one else indeed A picture in a broken frame upon the shelf indeed Had to take a lil' time to know myself Every now and then and then I start to reminisce wantin' ya kiss Even though I know it's dangerous Every now and then I start to reminisce For real even though I know it's so dangerous
[Chorus (4x):] Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice Tragedy's all in my life Love is what destroyed my life, life
[Jaguar:] What a chick gotta do to get some love? What I gotta do to say enough is enough?
What's the point of bein' wit somebody, that only bring ya down Goin 'round and 'round
[Chorus (till end):] Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice Tragedy's all in my life
