Drake Feat. Dirty Money Busta Rhymes Jermaine Dupri & Red Cafe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't nothing worse than the hurt we receive from love,
When you get hurt by the one you living for,
Pain can make you wanna love no more
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
Hurt with the heart that's bleeding slowly,
So many lonely sleepless nights,
I'm going through hell to convince you love me,
But never her approval no matter how I try,
The way you talk to me but still I say I love you,
I'm ashamed you can see it in my eyes,
Momma always told me to respect the woman,
But what am I to do when her parents do not try
So many tears I cried,
But all for nothing I'm afraid to say
Ooh
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
I've been so dependent on your love for so long,
Punishment for me is trying to let go,
Give it from your heart is what you taught me,
Addiction to pain is what it got me,
My life, now its changed,
My life ain't the same as it was,
Heart broke to the point, sometimes wanna end it,
If I can't have what mean most to me
So many tears I cried (I cried)
But all for nothing I'm afraid to say
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
(Diddy, Drizzy baby)
Uh, trying not to over think
Only cause I've drove and I done had a lot to drink
When I wanted it blue you said we got to paint it pink
And there's pieces of ya hair still sittin' in my sink
And you still got underwear that's sittin' in the dryer
How come every time that you're suspicious I'm a liar?
You stand out, I can hear you whistle in a choir
And that's the only reason you the Mrs. I admire
Damn, tell me what I'm gone do
Since everything I'm trying to forget is all true
Me and all your main girls get along too
I would take my last dollar out and bet it on you
But uh, you see the same one I'm missing
Is basically the reason I became somethin' different
Its just that I remember me before
And if you could do the same baby then we'll be for sure
So selfishly
You can only show fear
Unless you feel yours in jeopardy
Oh time, oh time has changed
And I'm no longer wiling
Can't you see how my heart is bleeding
Oh yes
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself
