MONICA LYRICS - Lesson Learned

"Lesson Learned"



[Verse 1]

Lately we haven't had a chance to speak

Cause you aint really had no time for me

Maybe there's somewhere else you'd rather be

And I don't understand it at all

If I recall I gave you everything

But I can't remember one time you sacrificed for me

And I'm starting to feel like I'm losing myself

So I think that I'll just live with what's left



[Chorus]

Why did you treat me like a girl on the side

Why did you have to go and make me cry

Boy tell me

You could've walked away

Rather than cause me pain

Baby I aint really need it at all

And I cant make you love me

So I aint trying that

You won't make a fool of me

So you can forget that

Going out a leading lady

How my mama raised me

Take the stripes that I've earned lesson learned



[Verse 2]

Why did you have to go and lie to me

When you were out there running in the streets

Well I'm tired of calling your cell phone

4 o'clock in the morning

You pick it up and all I hear is....

If I was too much woman all you had to say was

That you wasn't ready

And I would've understood

Well let me calm down

Why should I be mad

When honestly it aint nothing you stressing bout



[Chorus]

Why did you treat me like a girl on the side

Why did you have to go and make me cry

Boy tell me

You could've walked away

Rather than cause me pain

Baby I aint really need it at all

And I can't make you love me

So I aint trying that

You won't make a fool of me

So you can forget that

Going out a leading lady

How my mama raised me

Take the stripes that I've earned lesson learned



[Bridge]

Gave so many chances you blew it over again

Time and time I wonder why

You put me after your friends

You couldn't tell me the real

Boy do you know how it feels

When I call your phone and you don't call back

I know you can't be for real uh uh

So I packed my bags uh

And aint comn back

Treat me like I don't know you

What part of the game is that

Boy I aint turning around

This is no place for me to be

You never meant enough for me



[Chorus]

Why did you treat me like a girl on the side

Why did you have to go and make me cry

Boy tell me

You could've walked away

Rather than cause me pain

Baby I aint really need it at all

And I can't make you love me

So I aint trying that

You won't make a fool of me

So you can forget that

Going out a leading lady

How my mama raised me

Take the stripes that I've earned lesson learned



Oh I, I learned my lesson [x2]



I'm leaving you

That's what I gotta do

You can't make a fool of me



I'm leaving

L-leaving you, u u u u u u u



Hayyyyy!!!!
