Hey Ladies Lyrics

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

My man's been cheatin' on me
Been runnin' round here with this little Tenderoni
And don't think I haven't noticed, he's been actin' funny
Takin' too long to call me
And somebody told me
That the worst thing of it all is that he gave her money
Now how he gonna give her my ends
That's a no, no
My first reactions telling me he's got to go, go
But I just ain't for sure
Should I just let him go
Oh I don't know

Yeah he did me wrong
But I love him so
I keep holding on
But he got to go, he got to go
Thought he was the one
But now I don't know
After what he's done
He's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

You keep rewinding it
Stopin' it and playing yourself over again
See I'm sick and tired of you doin' that same ol' shit
Sick of your same routine
Now you've got to come clean
'Cause it's killing me

Yeah he did me wrong
But I love him so
I keep holding on
But he got to go, he got to go
Thought he was the one
But now I don't know
After what he's done
He's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

I just don't understand
You get chance after chance
And you say that you'll do right
But I really do not know if you can
It's not in your plans
That you've shown
Can you change, don't think so
Now I gotta let you go
Got to go
Got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies
Why is it that
Men can go do us wrong
Why is it that
We just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that
We never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Thou shall move on to the next
