Lyrics
I CAN?T DO THAT
Deception, heat, passion, deceit
Degradation,set my world on fire
Love, a sad soul, liar
Much time and pain has passed and healed since I was sorry to have met you
And I?m glad nightmares aside that I near well might soon forget
Now you?re here pleading for me to come and love you again,
But baby see, I?m not the fool that I was way back then
(chorus)
I can?t do that no, I can?t do that baby
I can?t do that no,
I can?t do that no, I can?t do that baby
I can?t do that no
Trust, a tool to get what you want
Love, the key for desired response
Abuse, you?ve got to keep the confidence low
Need, keep it before and after blow
Charge the world just like a storm and blow your anger down upon
Each and everyone to cross your path, you use, abuse and then move on
I?m just so thankful that you?ll never again see me cower
Cause now I?m standing tall, it?s over you?ve lost your power
Chorus
(bridge)
I gave all, all I had to give, I?????
I gave all, all I had to give, I?????..
