Baby
tell me why
you're wearin’ dark glasses inside
What cha tryin’ to hide
Is it another black eye
What cha gonna do
Next time he lays his hands on you
And to tell the truth
don't cha realize he don't love you
If he don't treat you like a queen
You should be steppin’
it's obvious to me that he ain't worth it
what's the use of stayin’ when he hurts you
Baby you should know he don't deserve you
Tell me what makes a man
Treat his woman so cruel
To me it makes no sense
For you to stand this abuse
Enough is enough
You deserve a love much better
A little joy and laughter,
understanding -- on a silver platter
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
You can't go on pretendin’ not to see
What every one knows
Open your eyes
you're running out of time
There's no joy in pain
what cha gonna gain
he don't feel no shame
Why is it that you stay
lovin’ this way
It could end your life someday
If you don't know
If you don't know
[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]
