Yeah, boy meets girl, happens everyday
And they feel like they’re compatible in every way
Can’t keep their faces separated and emotions are strong
And it’s so easy to imagine the feeling is life long
So they go along never paying attention
Or using any protection until the girl gets pregnant
Then they both try to do the right thing
Get married have a go at the husband and wife thing
But a nice ring doesn’t mean forever
Where there used to be love now they’re screaming together
The ties are seeming to sever and could it be too late
Mom and dad, husband and wife are turning into only room mates
Her friends say leave him his friends say get laid
Nine times out of ten they do what they’re friends say
Stray when the boy meets a girl one day
And they feel like they’re compatible in every way
It’s not a long time ‘fore it rips the fam
When the mom finds out it hits the fan
And now the true love’s gone or maybe buried in sin
And it’s up to them to leave it there or try to find it again
Because the grass is always greener but the lust won’t last
So instead of jumping fences you should water your grass
I said

HOOK
As we go on here together
Shall we never say forever
Ties we grow on quickly sever
So let’s never say forever

VERSE 2
Look, it started off in middle school homie real straight
A bad kid his father said he was a mistake
Word, popping pills on that high life
Met this chick she was smart and the shy type
A couple months what it took to get in her head
Worst day of her was the day they met
Look, at first everything was decent
Six months later he got bored and started cheating
Didn’t believe it til she seen it in his face
Started laying hands on her just to get her off his case
She was hurting and knew he was selling drugs
So when he fell asleep she grabbed the pipe and fell in love
A month later got pulled over chasing paper
Now he’s in corrections, searching for a savior
Twenty years later, she prostitutes and tweaking
While he’s at the church reaching lives preaching

VERSE 3
Told me that she loved me, no one come above me
Never for a second did I think it would get ugly
It started out good all the kisses and the love ya’s
Brought her home to mama told my mama this the one, yeah
Then she started tripping strange on the regular
Felt like she disappearing playing on her cellular
Didn’t have the heart to ask wasn’t gonna question her
But I was really feeling like I wasn’t getting the best of her
First she tried to lie then she told me it was too late
Sitting here thinking girl you faker than a toupe’
How you gone play me when I tried to give you everything
Guess it wasn’t nothing to you when I gave you that wedding ring
But anyways now I’m on to the next one
Never let a lover treat you like you ain’t the best one
Know what you’re worth and never settle for the less than
Amount of all the effort and the time that you invest in
