[Verse 1: ]
|
Believe it's hard to let go.
|
Once knew a girl who came to be so in love,
|
She would say so.
|
Looking in the mirror couldn't even find herself,
|
Blinded by the love that she felt.
|
He was everything to her,
|
She would always talk about him.
|
He was great, he was this, he was that, amor.
|
When in fact,
|
She had more than that.
|
Of course she wasn't gonna tell me,
|
It was embarrassing.
|
Couldn't say what was going on.
|
She wasn't weak.
|
If a man ever hit her it'd be over.
|
It was a whole lot easier forgetting,
|
Sweep under the rug like there wasn't really anything.
|
She smiled, hugged up on her gangster,
|
Behind closed doors things were a whole lot different.
|
I mean this is what I heard.
|
I probably heard some other shit,
|
But didn't wanna disturb.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I don't wanna understand what's going on,
|
I don't wanna realize that what you're doing may be wrong.
|
You tell me that you love me and I wanna believe it,
|
let me pretend because mi corazon is grieving.
|
Wanted to stop because I know a lot better,
|
Must be sick in the mind to put up with this forever.
|
Gotta wake the fuck up before it's too late.
|
Baby doll dry your eyes and don't hesitate.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
He wasn't hitting her,
|
He would treat her perfect.
|
That's what the homegirl told me every single time.
|
She'd get defensive,
|
Or really really quiet.
|
If anyone accused her man,
|
She'd start a riot.
|
You couldn't ask her,
|
But somehow you knew.
|
I mean the look up in her face said more than anything.
|
She really loved him,
|
At least that's how she said it.
|
I wish she would of seen all of the stuff so she'd forget it.
|
But nothing worked,
|
She was better with denial.
|
Even when he cheated right after having a child.
|
She wanted a familia,
|
So she tried to make it work.
|
Put up with anything and whatever that shit took.
|
She really thought he would change one day.
|
But when the liquor hit his body he forgot okay,
|
He didn't know her name,
|
He didn't know her meaning,
|
He didn't know it was his baby's momma he was beating
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I don't wanna understand what's going on,
|
I don't wanna realize that what you're doing may be wrong.
|
You tell me that you love me and I wanna believe it,
|
let me pretend because mi corazon is grieving.
|
Wanted to stop because I know a lot better,
|
Must be sick in the mind to put up with this forever.
|
Gotta wake the fuck up before it's too late.
|
Baby doll dry your eyes and don't hesitate.
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
She didn't wanna be alone,
|
She didn't wanna mess around and have nothing at home.
|
Needed a purpose, hizo la rutina que hacer en la cocina.
|
While her man partied out,
|
Blowing feria and cocaina.
|
Nobody to talk to,
|
But that was typical.
|
Anything she had to say,
|
Would of been ridiculed.
|
Besides,
|
It was nobody's business.
|
She'd dealt for so long she had forgotten it was wrong.
|
Everything he said seemed to always stick around,
|
She just couldn't forget the things he said to put her down.
|
I saw that mess maybe a couple of times,
|
And I'd try to understand but it would kill me inside.
|
The whole purpose of me telling you this story,
|
Is to hope you take care so you don't gotta be sorry.
|
Take care of your kids and be sure to love them well
|
They just don't deserve to see you in that kind of hell...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I don't wanna understand what's going on,
|
I don't wanna realize that what you're doing may be wrong.
|
You tell me that you love me and I wanna believe it,
|
let me pretend because mi corazon is grieving.
|
Wanted to stop because I know a lot better,
|
Must be sick in the mind to put up with this forever.
|
Gotta wake the fuck up before it's too late.
|
Baby doll dry your eyes and don't hesitate.
