Lyrics
I'll take the responsibility for this breakup
'Cause I know I'm a lot responsible for it
But I didn't realize what was happening
Until it was much too late
I thought I was being a good wife
Since then, there has been times
When I've hated myself for not being woman enough
To tell you what was really on my mind
Now I realize that was a mistake
A mistake I would like to correct now
Whoa, I'm through
Trying to prove my love to
I'm through, baby, yeah
Oh, man, I'm through
Sometimes, I had to give up the right
When I knew I was wrong
But I believe I can stand up here today, babe, and face ya
On my very own
'Cause I found someone
And I think he understands
That I know what it really means, what it really means, what it really means
To have a real man
His daily deeds
The things he doesn't say
He says, "I'm not trying to take your husband's place
"But if I can't help you, I swear, I swear I won't stand in your way"
"Tell him, tell him that you're through
Trying to prove your love to him
Go on, girl, tell the man that you're through right now
Trying to prove your love to him"
And I gotta do it, baby
'Cause I'm through staying up all night
Waiting on you to return
I don't think there's a better lesson
I have better learned
But you'll find out
Further on down the road
You see, I let you take my heart
Man, I just can't let you take my soul
It's always happening
In so many love affairs
Oh, yes, you're so in love today
Tomorrow, tomorrow, you just don't care
One gets tired
Gives up on loving the other
Then the other one go running in the streets, running in the streets
Trying to find, find it in another, hey
Oh, baby I'm through trying to prove my love to you
