Love You Enough
by: Mona LisaVERSE 1:
If somebody told you that you didn't need me
Tell me would you deceive me
And throw our relationship down the drain
If some other wanted you to use you as another
If that's the case then baby you'd discover
That I will not waste my time
So tell me did you think that you could start to fool me
Did you know that you could mess around and lose me
When I displayed all my trust in you
I don't wanna hear the lies you try to pass as true confession
I'd rather start by teaching you this lesson
It's better to lose what you never had
CHORUS:
So if you feel you've had enough then maybe we should just be friends
I love you enough boy to give you up I guess it's time to call it quits
In your rain don't call on me
I love you enough boy to set you free
I love you enough boy to set you free
VERSE 2:
And even my mother said she didn't trust you as my lover
And then you had the nerve to front my brother
When he was just trying to protect my heart
So here we are have to sit around and talk about it
Trying to find solutions but I doubt it
Cause I can do bad all by myself
And when somebody asks you why the finger points at you
You better tell them the truth
CHORUS OUT (with adlibs)
