now i'm a tell it like this girlfriend he don't love you

never have i seen him kiss or hug you

he don't make effort he don't respect you or accept you for you

tells you what to wear and how to behave

comes in your home and treats you like his slave

don't need him if he make you sacrifice your freedom get him out tonight

shout and curse at you in public places

sleep in your house on a part-time basis

he aint even taking care of his child

he don't make you smile

i understand you love him and your down but that don't mean you got to be his clown

girl you got to put him out

change them locks and all dat

girl you got to put him out

and this time don't take him back

girl you got to put him out

take the time to love yourself

girl you got to put him out

and find true love with someone else

he don't even know how to be honest

all he know how to do is false promise

any real man agree he aint a man after the first time that he raise his hand

treats your home like hotel don't pay his way

lost count of the times dat that dog has strayed

sleep around creep around bring back disease what if next time it was H.I.V

four baby mummas eight kids and no work

you can play strong but i know that it hurt

you make the choices you got to stop this cos girlfriend the boys worthless

i understand your love birds from school

how did you get from being his girl to just being his fool

girl you got to put him out

change them locks and all dat

girl you got to put him out

and this time don't take him back

girl you got to put him out

take the time to love yourself

girl you got to put him out

and find true love with someone else

your little girl needs a daddy i agree but the fool is far from that

any boy can be a father that aint reason enough to keep on taking him back

he never reads with her or takes her out

that shit's called neglect you hear

so she confused and tired of always seeing mummas face bruised and drowning in tears

look what you showing her by letting him disrespect you

your just growing her up to think it's something that all men do

you owe it to yourself and your daughter cause she thinks it's all alright

when she gets older following the footsteps you showed her

how you gonna look her in the eye?

girl you got to put him out

change them locks and all dat

girl you got to put him out

and this time don't take him back

girl you got to put him out

take the time to love yourself

girl you got to put him out

and find true love with someone else

girl you got to put him out

change them locks and all dat

girl you got to put him out

and this time don't take him back

girl you got to put him out

take the time to love yourself

girl you got to put him out

and find true love with someone else
