A player only loves you when he's playing

girlfriend I hope you listen to what I'm saying

how you think you gonna stop him from betraying

can't teach an old dog new tricks you know

you like a man who's rough around the edges

claiming he's changing, a bunch of empty pledges

can't believe a damn thing he alleges

think twice before you head on down that road





ladies you got to learn to let go

cause he ain't never gonna change no

now it's time to show him out the door

not gonna take his mess nor more





he got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night

got to let go, got to let go

got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right

got to let go, got to let go

if he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town

got to let go, got to say no

even your friends try to tell you he's messing around

got to let go, got to let go





they promise you the stars in the beginning

it takes a while for you to find out that he's swindeling

depending on your money and he's clinging

you live and learn only if you recognize

you stick with him because you thinks he needs you

it's almost like you don't see the way he treats you

there's even talk you won't leave him because you're too weak to





ladies you got to learn to let go

cause he ain't never gonna change no

now it's time to show him out the door

not gonna take his mess nor more







he got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night

got to let go, got to let go

got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right

got to let go, got to let go

if he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town

got to let go, got to say no

even your friends try to tell you he's messing around

got to let go, got to let go





and don't think I haven't been through it all myself

Songtexte hoping that one day he'll become someone else





he got you waiting at home while he's out in club all night

got to let go, got to let go

got you paying all the bills and you know that it ain't right

got to let go, got to let go

if he got a baby-mama-drama all over the town

got to let go, got to say no

even your friends try to tell you he's messing around

got to let go, got to let go





he be puffing on weed first thing in the morn'

got to let go, got to let go

is he still sitting in the same spot when you get home

got to let go, got to let go

the whole world's against him, but it's never his fault

got to let go, got to say no

you try to break it down, but he don't hear you at all

got to let go, got to let go
