LETRAHomegirl Dry Your EyesMs. Krazie

[Verse 1: ]
Believe it's hard to let go.
Once knew a girl who came to be so in love,
She would say so.
Looking in the mirror couldn't even find herself,
Blinded by the love that she felt.
He was everything to her,
She would always talk about him.
He was great, he was this, he was that, amor.
When in fact,
She had more than that.
Of course she wasn't gonna tell me,
It was embarrassing.
Couldn't say what was going on.
She wasn't weak.
If a man ever hit her it'd be over.
It was a whole lot easier forgetting,
Sweep under the rug like there wasn't really anything.
She smiled, hugged up on her gangster,
Behind closed doors things were a whole lot different.
I mean this is what I heard.
I probably heard some other shit,
But didn't wanna disturb.

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna understand what's going on,
I don't wanna realize that what you're doing may be wrong.
You tell me that you love me and I wanna believe it,
let me pretend because mi corazon is grieving.
Wanted to stop because I know a lot better,
Must be sick in the mind to put up with this forever.
Gotta wake the fuck up before it's too late.
Baby doll dry your eyes and don't hesitate.

[Verse 2:]
He wasn't hitting her,
He would treat her perfect.
That's what the homegirl told me every single time.
She'd get defensive,
Or really really quiet.
If anyone accused her man,
She'd start a riot.
You couldn't ask her,
But somehow you knew.
I mean the look up in her face said more than anything.
She really loved him,
At least that's how she said it.
I wish she would of seen all of the stuff so she'd forget it.
But nothing worked,
She was better with denial.
Even when he cheated right after having a child.
She wanted a familia,
So she tried to make it work.
Put up with anything and whatever that shit took.
She really thought he would change one day.
But when the liquor hit his body he forgot okay,
He didn't know her name,
He didn't know her meaning,
He didn't know it was his baby's momma he was beating

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna understand what's going on,
I don't wanna realize that what you're doing may be wrong.
You tell me that you love me and I wanna believe it,
let me pretend because mi corazon is grieving.
Wanted to stop because I know a lot better,
Must be sick in the mind to put up with this forever.
Gotta wake the fuck up before it's too late.
Baby doll dry your eyes and don't hesitate.

[Verse 3:]
She didn't wanna be alone,
She didn't wanna mess around and have nothing at home.
Needed a purpose, hizo la rutina que hacer en la cocina.
While her man partied out,
Blowing feria and cocaina.
Nobody to talk to,
But that was typical.
Anything she had to say,
Would of been ridiculed.
Besides,
It was nobody's business.
She'd dealt for so long she had forgotten it was wrong.
Everything he said seemed to always stick around,
She just couldn't forget the things he said to put her down.
I saw that mess maybe a couple of times,
And I'd try to understand but it would kill me inside.
The whole purpose of me telling you this story,
Is to hope you take care so you don't gotta be sorry.
Take care of your kids and be sure to love them well
They just don't deserve to see you in that kind of hell...

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna understand what's going on,
I don't wanna realize that what you're doing may be wrong.
You tell me that you love me and I wanna believe it,
let me pretend because mi corazon is grieving.
Wanted to stop because I know a lot better,
Must be sick in the mind to put up with this forever.
Gotta wake the fuck up before it's too late.
Baby doll dry your eyes and don't hesitate.
