Lyrics:

Now I'mma tell it like this girlfriend he don't love you
Never have I seen him kiss or hug you
He don't make effort, he don't respect you or
Accept you
For you
Tells you what to wear and how be-have
Comes in your home and treats you like his slave
Don't need him if he makes you sacrifice
Your freedom
Get him out your life
Shout and curse at you in public places
Sleep in your house on a part-time basis
He ain't even takin' care of his child
He don't
Make you smile

I understand you love him
And you're down
But that don't mean you gotta be his clown

Girl, you got to put him out
Change them locks
And all that
And girl, you got to put him out
And this time don't take him back
Girl, you got to put him out
Take the time to love yourself
And girl, you got to put him out
You can find real love
With someone else

He don't even know how to be honest
All he know how to do is false promise
Any real man agree he ain't a man after
The first time that he raised his hand
Treat your home like hotel and don't pay his way
Lost count of all the times that that dog has strayed
Sleep around, creep around, bring back disease what if
Next time it was H.I.V.?
Four baby mama's, eight kids and no work
You can play strong but I know that it hurt
You make the choices you gotta stop this 'cause
Girlfriend the boy's worthless

I understand that you were love birds from school
Now did you get from being his girl
To just being his fool

Girl, you got to put him out
Change them locks
And all that
And girl, you got to put him out
And this time don't take him back
Girl, you got to put him out
Take the time to love yourself
And girl, you got to put him out
You can find real love
With someone else

Girl, you got to put him out
Change them locks
And all that
And girl, you got to put him out
And this time don't take him back

Your little girl needs a daddy I agree, but the fool is far from that
Any boy can be a father
That ain't reason enough to keep on takin' him back
He never reads with her
Or takes her out
That shit's called neglect, you hear?
So she confused and tired of always seeing mama's face
Bruised and drownin' in tears
Look what you showin' her by lettin' him disrespect you
You just growin' her to think that it's something
That all men do
You owe it to yourself and your daughter 'cause she thinks it's all alright
When she get older
Follow the footsteps you showed her
How you gonna look her in the eye?

Girl, you got to put him out
Change them locks
And all that
And girl, you got to put him out
And this time don't take him back
Girl, you got to put him out
Take the time to love yourself
And girl, you got to put him out
You can find real love
With someone else

Girl, you got to put him out
Change them locks
And all that
And girl, you got to put him out
And this time don't take him back
Girl, you got to put him out
Take the time to love yourself
And girl, you got to put him out
You can find real love
With someone else
