Toni Braxton - Love Shoulda Brought You Home Lyrics

Should I even listen?
Should I even try?
Will I just be hearing the same old lines, baby?
See, it doesn't matter what you say this time
'Cause our whole relationship is built on one lie
You say things aren't the way they seem
But still you can't come straight with me
How can you think that you're in love
When you don't know the meaning of it?

Love shoulda brought you
Brought you home last night
You shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
Baby, if you cared anything for me
Then love woulda brought you to me last night
(Last night)

Gotta hand it to you
You had me there for a while
I was so in love with you, I couldn't see past your smile
Now I smell the coffee, I got a wake up call
And you left a message that you just don't care at all
You can't expect me to believe
That she does not mean anything
You say that you love only me
Your kind of lovin', my darling, I just don't need

Love shoulda brought you
Brought you home last night
(Lord knows) you shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
(Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby) baby, if you cared anything for me
(If you really cared)
Then love woulda brought you to me last night

Love shoulda brought you
Brought you home last night (last night)
You shoulda been with me
(Lord knows that you shoulda been right there)
Shoulda been right by my side
(Oh, baby) baby (if you cared anything for me)

Then you woulda been sincere
And I wouldn't be in tears
And love woulda brought you to me last night
Oh, baby, why?
Why do men think that love's just for the moment
Not overtime?
Please, tell me why
Why should I think that you're gonna be sincere?
Are you deservin'?
Don't blame me if I just don't believe it
Just don't believe that you'll always be here

Love shoulda brought you
Brought you home last night
You shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Even if you cared
Woulda be, woulda be here

Love shoulda brought you
Brought you home last night
Lord knows you shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If you really cared
(Then love woulda brought you to me last night)
You forgot all about me

(You should've) brought me love
Brought you home last night
(Love) you shoulda been with me
(Love) shoulda been right by my side
Baby, if you cared anything for me
Then love woulda brought you to me last night

Love shoulda brought you
(Love) brought you home last night
You shoulda been with me
Shoulda been right by my side
