Lyrics:

Oh, oh - yeah
Oh (3x)
Listen to me

You deserve all the heartache and the pain
Yes, you do
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games

No (3x)
You should know life is what you make of it - no, no
Regardless - no, no - who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it

Why you wanna be with him
'Cause all you ever do is cry
He'll tell you that you ain't enough
He's tearin' you apart inside

And when you need a ear, I listen
To everything you have to say
I tell you every day to leave
But it seems you'd rather stay

And girl, a man could only do what you let him
And girl, it don't do you no good to just sweat him
And girl, you can't just let him abuse you
I'll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain
So when you're hurt
Don't come cryin' - don't
Talkin' 'bout he's playin' games

Maybe you should know
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it

Now that you've a guy who'll kiss
But you use him as your strength
To get out of a bad situation
To get out this relationship

I promise you he'll never change
I know you really want him to
So all the things he promises
I hope you don't expect him to

And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don't do you no good to just sweat him,
Oh, no, no
And girl, you can't just this man abuse you
I'll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to then you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain
Oh, oh, so
When you're hurt, oh
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games

And you should know
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it then you deserve it

Peep the whole scene and whatever's goin' on around me
Burned out, clutchin' my pillow, stuck in the County
You hate when I step off with honeys and
Who sayin' I want a baby chase, you can't relate

Pump your brakes, mami, please 'cause you buggin' me out
And treat me worse than them streets, it's like doggin' me out
But I could look into your eyes and see you achin' inside
You hope I da-da-da-da-da-da-da
You deserve
And so you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain - oh, oh,
Heartache and the pain
Don't come cryin' (2x)
Talkin' 'bout
He's playin' games

No (4x)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
Regardless, if you put up with it, ooh, then you deserve it

Listen to me
Realize that I can make you see
Do you wanna live a lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
So listen

You deserve all the heartache and the pain - oh, oh, so
When you hurt
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games
And you should know

You should know life is what you make of it
Life is what you make of it, oh
Regardless who he is
Regardless if you put up with it you deserve it
