Gerald Levert - It Hurts Too Much To Stay Lyrics

[Kelly:]
Candle light and chocolate kisses
Calls to say you missed me when we started

[Gerald:]
Your nails was done, your hair was pressed
I miss the way you used to dress
When I met you
I really do

[Kelly:]
I gave my best 4 years, my time was wasted

[Gerald:]
See I shared your fears, and the tears you cried I tasted

[Kelly:]
Baby, I loved your kids, opened up my home. Yes I did

[Gerald:]
Paid your mama's bills. Gave you all when
you had nothing.

[Chorus]
Love you so, can't let go.
Never thought I'd be without you
Can't imagine life without you
walk away, everyday.
Told me that you'd never leave.
But now you say it hurts too much to stay.

[Kelly:]
Too much to stay

[Gerald:]
Said it's hard for me
Your lover's stayin with his mom
Tell me was it worth the drama oh baby
See we got our own kids yeah

[Kelly:]
If there had to be another.
Why go trick'n in the gutter
And drivin our sh.... mmmmmm
boo baby

[Gerald:]
See I know he can't put that thang down like I do.

[Kelly:]
Baby that was the past. You don't roll like you used

[Gerald:]
Said what's my motivation
Girl I'm better off alone.

[Kelly:]
Tell me why can't we just walk away.

Gerald and Kelly:
Why are we so torn?

[Chorus]

[Both:]
Never meant to hurt you.
G: you walk away from me
tell me why did you change

[Kelly:]
Can't it be all that we have hoped and prayed for
now its gone away

[Gerald:]
Oh baby, everything. Our hopes and dreams they are
no longer. We can't go back the way it used to be
said now really.

[Chorus]

[Gerald:]
Tryin to make you understand that I only just a man

[Kelly:]
Going to jail cause I kill yo girl
Going to jail cause I kill yo girl

[Gerald:]
Come on now don't do this now
come on now don't do this now

[Kelly:]
Your body belongs to me
She can't have you no matter what she thinks
No no no no no no no no no
