You know you don't want him
So why don't you leave him
You know you don't love him
So why do you see him
I'll never understand
No I'll never understand
I know how he treats you
I know that he beats you
You know you don't need it
So why don't you leave it
I'll never understand
No I'll never understand
Did you read it in the bible
Did they teach you all that in school
It's a matter of survival
Better ask yourself what you're doing
You know if you were mine
I'd love you all the time
You know you don't need it
So why don't you leave it
I'll never understand
No I'll never understand
(Funk, Kincaid)
