Lyrics
You talk about me baby all over town
Never nothing good, you always cut me down
But, you tell me you love me baby, more than words can say
If you love me baby, why you treat me this way
You tell all my friends I'm not what it's about
When we're around your friends you always dog me out
But, you tell me you love me baby, I don't believe you do
I've seen love, and it don't look nothing like you.
You spend all my money before I can get it home
You walk the streets at night turning tricks all night long
But, you tell me you love me baby, and you'll always be true
If you love me baby why you treat me like you do
I come home early; I passed a strange cadillac
I walked in the front door, and a man run out the back
But you tell me you love me baby, but I don't believe you do
Cause woman I've seen love, and it don't look nothing like you.
I went out of town, and when I got back
My neighbors said you left in that strange cadillac
But, you tell me you love me baby, but I don't believe it's true
Cause woman I said I've seen love, and it don't look nothing like you.
Love don't look like you (repeat)
