Monica Why Her
Songwriters: Seal, Manuel Lonnie; Dupri, Jermaine; Lilly, Harold Spencer Jr;Why her, why her? Why her?
My last tear just fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wasn't goin' to cry no more
You did what you did, it is what it is
And that's why I walked out the door
Moved on with my life but not really
Spent too much time wonderin' how could you
You do this to us, thought we we're in love
Guess I was thinkin' too much
I was thinkin' that the sex had your love
You never could get enough 'coz you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams and your fears
I wiped your tears, I was there and that's why this is hurtin' me
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
You wanna come back, but I gotta know why her?
Thought she was all that, then why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
This goin' to be the last time we say goodbye
Aint gonna be no reruns of this episode
You did what you did, it is what it is
Maybe if you would've told me you weren't happy
You weren't satisfied, we could've worked it out
Baby we could've tried but you didn't say nothin'
All along fakin' and frontin' and why?
I was thinkin' that the sex had your love
You never could get enough 'coz you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams and your fears
I wiped your tears, I was there and it hurts me
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
You wanna come back, but I gotta know why her?
Thought she was all that, why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
Now ladies, y'all know I speak from experience, right?
I used to just look at him and wonder why, why her?
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
But ladies, I learn not to worry
About them livin' a happily ever after
'Coz see, that shit just built on a lie
So it should've fall, that's why I stand tall
I just looked at him and said this right here
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
The grass looks greener on the other side, why her?
But I promise, you'll be back tonight
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
Why her? Tell me, why her? Why her?
