Don't Waste Your Time

Lately I've got this funny feeling
Something don't feel the same
But he's telling me I'm the one to blame
Yes I know that he still gives me good loving
But when he's deep inside
There's somebody else on his mind

Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I got to let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
Can't waste my time
Girl it's not hard to know
Should walk away
Oh, you've got to let it go
Seen it million times before
Shouldn't take his sh** no more

Sister girl, sister girl
It's much deeper than what you're thinking
When something don't feel the same
Yeah you better believe his love has changed
(and I've been telling you, telling you)
And what you're telling me
(it's been hurting me, hurting me)
It ain't, it ain't complete
He's got a sweetie on the side
Stop making truth, out of his lies

Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I got to let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
Can't waste my time
Girl it's not hard to know
Should walk away
Oh, you've got to let it go
Seen it million times before
Shouldn't take his stuff no more

What's the point of love
When you've got no trust
What's the point of staying
When you've seen enough
What's the point of giving
What he don't deserve

He don't deserve it
No you don't deserve it

Oh, what's the point of feeling
Like there's nothing inside
What's the point of saying
That you still got your pride
What's the point of giving
What he don't deserve
This is the last time
I'm gonna love you
