You Can Do Bad By All By Yourself
Girlfriend
how can you
allow him to
continue to put you through
so much pain and heartache?
Girlfriend
it's so plain to see
that there's no way that he
wants you to ever be free
of his rusted chains
Girlfriend
he's taken away your smile
and when he thinks no one's around
that's when he puts you down
making you feel lower than dirt
Girlfriend
I've seen the many bruises on your face
along with the tears that's left a trace
it's your beauty he doesn't appreciate
he's trying his best to disfigure you
Girlfriend
he always makes you feel so small
with the many degrading names that he calls
you matter to him nothing at all
it's time to wake up and smell the coffee
Girlfriend
over and over he refuses to show you respect
over and over it's your very being that he neglects
he brags to his friends about how he has you in check
how can you continue to stay with him?
Girlfriend
it's high time that you start taking care of self
believe me, you can do bad all by yourself
put his sorry behind on the shelf!
and be the true warrior queen that you are
