About Seven Whole Days

"Seven Whole Days" is a song performed by American singer Toni Braxton. It serves as the third single from her self-titled debut album (1993). Written and produced by Kenneth Edmonds, Antonio Reid and Daryl Simmons, the track describes a romance that was fading. As the single was not commercially released in the United States, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and only managed to chart on the Hot 100 Airplay at number forty-eight in early March 1994. Nevertheless, it successfully topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay in late January 1994. "Seven Whole Days" is featured on The Essential Toni Braxton and Playlist: The Very Best of Toni Braxton.

[Chorus]
Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about through
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Darlin', darlin'
You know if you cared anything about love
You would've been front and center
Lovin' me and touchin' me
Honey, honey
You know if you knew anything about me
You would've been much more tender
Oh, squeezin' me, caressin' me
You could've had about anything you wanted
But you messed it up
You had to be tough
You told your friends
You had me wrapped around your finger
You were talking kinda cocky
Like you had it goin' on
All the while you knew
That things were kinda shaky
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on?

[Chorus]

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Sugar, sugar
You know if you knew anything about sweet
You would've been talkin' to me
Everyday
Seven days a week
Baby, baby
You should've been givin' me
A little more time
But you were just much too busy
Abusin' me and usin' me
I would've done about anything
You wanted
I was there for you
I was crazy about you
When I was sittin', thinkin'
I was kinda special
You were runnin' 'round
Hittin' every other girl in town
How could you love me
When you knew you played me funny?
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on?

[Chorus]

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Deep in my heart
You were number one to start
But then you changed
You threw my heart away
Told your friends that
You were runnin' things
Why'd it have to be that way?
You're wrong
Dead wrong
Tell me how
How can we go wrong?

[Chorus]

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own
