Anyway
Kevon Edmonds Lyrics

Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who loves you
Is the way you're treating me acceptable considering how much I love you?

Who thinks the world of you
I hold you in the highest regard; I think you're amazing.

You know you can't treat me anyway
I refuse to be mistreated by you, regardless of my feelings for you.

Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who needs you
As someone who relies on you, I expect to be treated better than this.

Goin' out their way to please you
I go above and beyond to satisfy you and make you happy.

I must be crazy, but anyway
Despite knowing I deserve better, I continue to put up with mistreatment from you.

You know the buttons to push
You're aware of how to manipulate me and exploit my vulnerabilities.

You know the words to say
You're skilled at using language to get what you want from me.

You got the smile to use to get your own way
Your charm and charisma are weapons you use to control and manipulate me.

I'm getting paid you got it made in the shade
You're taking advantage of me financially while enjoying the benefits of being with me.

And every day is like a holiday
Life is easy and carefree for you, while I struggle with the emotional toll of our relationship.

You know my weakness you know I can't say no
You know how to exploit my lack of assertiveness and make me agree to things I don't want to do.

You know my no means yes and my stop means go
Even when I say I don't want to do something or want to stop, you still find a way to make me comply.

You're takin' me for a ride
You're using me and my resources for your own benefit without regard for my wellbeing.

And this is how it looks from my side
This is how your actions appear to me and the negative impact they have on me.

Peep the game
Take a closer look at the situation and understand the true motives behind your behavior.

I catch you our flirting with the boys in the hood
I've seen you flirting with other men, particularly those from the same neighborhood as us.

You turn it ?round make me feel I misunderstood
You try to gaslight me by making me doubt my perception of what's happening.

Every time I'm the last to know
You keep important information from me and only share it when it's convenient for you.

Here's your academy award for puttin' on the greatest show
You're an expert at pretending to be someone you're not and fooling everyone around you.

Momma told me ?bout girls like you
I was warned about manipulative women like you by my mother and other people in my life.

And all trouble they can put you through
I'm starting to see that the problems and pain I'm experiencing are a direct result of being with you.

I give you love but you make me pay
I show you affection and care, but you make me suffer for it.

When you turn around and give it all away
You betray my trust and loyalty by giving your love and attention to others behind my back.

Girl you make me say
Your actions make me feel frustrated, angry, and powerless.

Baby baby baby baby
These feelings are so overwhelming that the only thing I can do is repeat this phrase over and over.

I can't believe the games you play just to get your own way
I'm amazed by the lengths you go to manipulate and control me for your own benefit.

All along you set me up waitin' for the perfect payday
From the beginning, you had a plan to use me for your own financial gain.

Its coming back to you and you will be mortified, tore up inside
Eventually, your actions will catch up with you and you'll experience the same pain and humiliation you've caused me.

And me and my new shorty will be rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
I'll move on from you and find someone new who truly appreciates and respects me.
