It Hurts Too Much to Stay - Gerald Levert, Kelly Price

Kelly:

Candle light and chocolate kisses

Calls to say you missed me when we started

Gerald:

Your nails was done, your hair was pressed

I miss the way you used to dress

When I met you

I really do

Kelly:

I gave my best 4 years, my time was wasted

Gerald:

See I shared your fears, and the tears you cried I tasted

Kelly:

Baby, I loved your kids, opened up my home.

Yes I did

Gerald:

Paid your mama’s bills.

Gave you all when

You had nothing

Love you so, can’t let go

Never thought I’d be without you

Can’t imagine life without you

Walk away, everyday

Told me that you’d never leave

But now you say it hurts too much to stay

Kelly:

Too much to stay

Gerald:

Said it’s hard for me

Your lover’s stayin with his mom

Tell me was it worth the drama oh baby

See we got our own kids yeah

Kelly:

If there had to be another

Why go trick’n in the gutter

And drivin our sh… Mmmmmm

Boo baby

Gerald:

See I know he can’t put that thang down like I do

Kelly:

Baby that was the past.

You don’t roll like you used

Gerald:

Said what’s my motivation

Girl I’m better off alone

Kelly:

Tell me why can’t we just walk away

Gerald and kelly:

Why are we so torn?

Both:

Never meant to hurt you

G: you walk away from me

Tell me why did you change

Kelly:

Can’t it be all that we have hoped and prayed for

Now it’s gone away

Gerald:

Oh baby, everything.

Our hopes and dreams they are

No longer.

We can’t go back the way it used to be

Said now really

Gerald:

Tryin to make you understand that I only just a man

Kelly:

Going to jail cause I kill yo girl

Going to jail cause I kill yo girl

Gerald:

Come on now don’t do this now

Come on now don’t do this now

Kelly:

Your body belongs to me

She can’t have you no matter what she thinks

No no no no no no no no no
