When I first met you - you were just a lonesome boy
You were thoughtful, acted nice 
Boy you filled my heart with joy 
Sent me presents (all the time)
Made me happy (all the time)
I told myself I’m proud to say
'The boy is mine'
But the time came when you changed
Suddenly you acted strange
I held on to the thought it’s a temporary thing (temporary thing)
When I talked to my old friend
You did misunderstand
Thought I flirted with this man
First time you slapped me down
You try to keep me down
Hold on, boy, things will come around (things will come around)
You try to keep me down
Hold on boy, things will come around
Two months later
Everything’s ok
You said sorry, I forgave you, finally I gave in
You come home from work at night
Stressed cause you just had a fight
You start to put that fight on me
But boy you ain’t right
Telling me that I’m worthless
Telling me I deserve it
I’m startin' to believe you so I feel ashamed for this
That pain is there
On my body, everywhere
Last thing I know is I’m covering up my head 
You try to keep me down
Hold on, boy, things will come around (things will come around)
You try to keep me down
Hold on boy things will come around
Recovering, my senses coming back
And I know in my heart I’m on the wrong track (wrong track)
I know I have to go
Or else I’m dying slow
Don’t want this pain no more
Can’t somebody help me? - No?
Guess I rely on myself
'Cause I know better than that
I know there’s no turning back
I'm deserving respect, not to treat me like that
So I go pack up my stuff
Relationship gets too rough
I know I have to be tough
'Cause I had enough
Ohoo
You try to keep me down
Hold on, boy, things will come around (things will come around, uhuu, yeah)
You try to keep me down (try to keep me down)
Hold on boy, things will come around
Say what?
Hypocracy – is that all it’s meant to be?
You pray for love, but love is your enemy, uh
Commit felony, uh - misogyny
Treat women like shit – is that who you wanna be?
I don’t think so - you don’t show so, though
You try to pimp hoes but you don’t on the low
Just keep it slow boy, you ain’t right, so 
Next time you fight, choose someone your own size
What you gone do, what you gone do now?
What you gone do, what you gone do now? Yeah
'Cause I'm out, yeah
I know I have to go
So I'll go
And I won't come back no more
I'm tired of this shit
Can't live on like this
You said I'm to blame but boy you are the bitch!
No crying no more
Won't lay on the floor
My heart is still beating, keeps beating for sure
You thought I was too weak (ohoo)
And then I just couldn't do it
But see I'm out boy, you screw it, yeah
