4 Days

(album: Awesome - 2001)

Sure, don't have to take that from him, baby
Ooh, listen

Look at how he treats you, baby
Should have listened when your momma said
"Girl, you don't need him if you can't see him on the weekends"

You need to listen to your intuition
You need to leave before you heart gets broken, baby
And when you page him and he don't call back, ain't no excuse
Oh, you're looking at

Four days
Of heartache and pain, baby
Three days
Of crying your eyes out
Two days
Of ripping up his pictures when he calls you, girl
You'll take him right back

Four days
Of heartache and pain, baby
Three days
Of crying your eyes out
Two days
Of ripping up his pictures when he calls you, girl
You take him right back

He says, "I'm sorry" but you know he don't mean it
You got a feeling that he has another friend
He spends time with you now and then
But in a couple of days, gon' be the same ol' stuff again

Now I ain't try to insult his game
But when you hurt, you know it's hurting me the same
Don't be afraid to be an independent woman and leave him
Oh, oh

First time he hurt you, it was bad, baby
The second time, you know it really made me mad
The third time, baby, shame on you
Just how long are you gonna sit back and ah play the fool?

Four days
Of heartache and pain, baby
Three days
Of crying your eyes out
Two days
Of ripping up his pictures when he calls you, girl
You take him right back

Four days
Of heartache and pain, yeah
Three days
Crying your eyes out, yeah
Two days
Of ripping up his pictures when he calls you, girl
You'll take him right back

Ooh-ooh, baby
I'm there for you whenever you need a friend
Don't you cry, I see he hurt you again
You don't have to take this, no, no, no (no, no, no)

I'm there for you whenever you need a friend
Don't you cry, I see he hurt again
You don't have take this, no, no, no (no, no, no, no, no, no)

Four days
Of heartache and pain, baby
Three days
Of crying your eyes out
Two days
Of ripping up his pictures when he calls you, girl
You take him right back

Four days
Of heartache and pain baby
Three days
Of crying your eyes out
