Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Look at you

Look at you, different day but same damn bags
You’re on my porch and I don’t even have to ask
I see tears in your eyes
As you come inside and break down

So, what’s he done? And I hope this don’t take long
‘Cause you know one call from him
And you’ll be home before morn
Here’s friendly hug, followed by tough love
Are you ready?

He is only gonna to treat you
(Treat you)
The way he knows he can
(Oh yeah)
It’s all up to you my sister
(My sister)
To show him that he can’t
(He can't)

Have you had enough?
(Haven’t you had enough?)
'Cause it has been long enough
(Long enough)
Time for a change
(Time for a change)
Starting with you
(You, you, you)

No, don’t say a word, listen to Deborah for once
‘Cause I went through the same thing
So I tell you want needs to be done
Mavis said it best, 'Girl respect yourself it starts with you, you'

He is only gonna to treat you
(Treat you)
The way he knows he can
(Oh yeah)
It’s all up to you my sister
(My sister)
To show him that he can’t
(He can't)

Have you had enough?
(Haven’t you had enough?)
'Cause it has been long enough
(Long enough)
Time for a change
(Time for a change)
Starting with you
(You, you, you)

You want him to be a better man
And you want him to treat you better than
You treat yourself girl you can help
By showing him how he can

You can start by building your self-esteem
Start believing you can do anything
And you’ll find your man with on a line
And if you don’t then leave him behind

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Starts with you, oh you
It's inside of you girl
Starts with you
