I'm so proud for you to see The young man I came to be With life long troubles You kept a smile on my face
And as I'm looking all around me A say how can I ever repay you Mama was worth more than gold And she always tried to tell me
[Chorus]
There's been a few days When people truly let me down I said (...) things Just to bring me down
And they would (......) Just for their self motives and greed But I guess that ain't nothing new It's just something I gotta go through
[Chorus]
Now how much more can I take before I shoot a kiss Don't let them (...) for joke cause what you feel is very real yeah yeah
You know it makes me cry sometimes baby (sometimes) Yes it does Out of all the days and all the stories you've told me bout You know I still hurt inside yeah (sometimes)
I go through life with my hands in the air Said oh Lord help me there Oh it hurts sometimes baby (sometimes) Nobody can tell me better than you About these things I will go through Oh it hurts sometimes baby (sometimes)
Oh Girl, Uh, Oh Girl You’re so thorough, I want you in my world You know I’m liable to spiral, no telling what I would do When left alone with my miniacle momma, my boo You chauffeured over to the place that I’ve arrived to You know I used to answer you, get it and go like a drive through Until that day you said close you eyes let me ride you (let me ride you) Drove me insane wit you’re eye too Nice move, maestro, you can queue the wedding march I’m done, I tried to run but cupid hit me dead in heart How ironic, arrows hit me you know I’ma saag Hurt me so good how you love me so bad, oh girl
You know you saved me from myself You knew I needed help Now many girls consume my time and all of this hurts my life And there you were
