Breaking Point
Keri Hilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every woman, yeah
Every woman
Gotta limit yeah
Sang with me girl

Ladies, have you ever had a man who push you when your low
He wanna stay out at night, and don't care how you feel
Instead of manin' up, oh I said ooh

I-I can't concentrate, you so petty you
You stay touchin' my last nerve,
My friends say what's wrong with you girl
I guess, what I'm really tryna to say is

Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to
And cheated on, and beated on
Somebody know, hey

Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, tell me why we put up with that
You can forget that, see I done did that
But this time, there's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit
There's a limit, there's a limit)
There's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit
There's a limit, there's a limit)
Now listen here

Now baby, don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
Today your baby momma called, said she boxin' up yo shit (yo shit)
When you barely pleasin' me, how you gon' take care of yo kids
Now I gotta contemplate, I hate to say it but I wanted your last name
My momma said what's wrong with you girl

Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
(And I'm almost there I swear)
Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to
And cheated on, and beated on
Somebody know, hey

Every woman has a breaking point y'all (hey hey)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, some women let you keep em in check
Constantly disrespect, then show no regret
(Around here honey) there's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit
There's a limit, there's a limit)
There's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit
There's a limit, there's a limit)

Now ladies, we really should be mad at ourselves
'Cause see, some women just tolerate too damn much
Now I know we gotta choose our battles
But damn it, every woman gotta breaking point
And see the next time he's testin' your love
You put your finger in his face and you tell him

Say my love has a limit (say my love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit (say my love has a limit)
Said if your love has a limit, girl (said if your love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit, yeah (say my love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit (my love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit (my love has a limit)
Said if your love has a limit, girl
Say my love has a limit now

Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to
And cheated on, and beated on
Somebody know, hey

Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, if you feel me put your hands up
If he ain't man enough, girl if you had enough
Tell him, there's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit
There's a limit, there's a limit)
There's a limit to my love




(There's a limit, there's a limit
There's a limit, there's a limit)

Ladies, we all have our limits when it comes to dealing with men who don't treat us right. Let's sing together about it.


Ladies, have you ever had a man who push you when your low He wanna stay out at night, and don't care how you feel Instead of manin' up, oh I said ooh
Have you ever had a man who makes things worse when you're already feeling down? He stays out all night and doesn't care about your feelings. He's not acting like a real man.


I-I can't concentrate, you so petty you You stay touchin' my last nerve, My friends say what's wrong with you girl I guess, what I'm really tryna to say is
You're so annoying that I can't even concentrate. You're constantly pushing my buttons, and my friends are worried about me. I think I'm trying to say that every woman has a limit.


Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point) Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to And cheated on, and beated on Somebody know, hey
Every woman has a point where she can't take it anymore. Some women are lied to, cheated on, and mistreated, and we all know someone who's been through it.


Now baby, don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge Today your baby momma called, said she boxin' up yo shit (yo shit) When you barely pleasin' me, how you gon' take care of yo kids Now I gotta contemplate, I hate to say it but I wanted your last name My momma said what's wrong with you girl
Don't push me, because I'm almost ready to walk away. Your ex is packing up your stuff, and you're not even making an effort to make me happy. If you can't even do that, how can you take care of your own children? Now I have to think about whether I really want to be with you, even though I was hoping we could get married. My mother thinks I'm crazy for putting up with this.


Now ladies, we really should be mad at ourselves 'Cause see, some women just tolerate too damn much Now I know we gotta choose our battles But damn it, every woman gotta breaking point And see the next time he's testin' your love You put your finger in his face and you tell him
We need to take responsibility for putting up with so much. Some women let men treat them badly and it's not okay. We can't fight about everything, but we need to stand up for ourselves when our breaking point is reached. When he's pushing your limits, tell him that your love has a limit.


Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point) Hey, hey, hey, hey, if you feel me put your hands up If he ain't man enough, girl if you had enough Tell him, there's a limit to my love (There's a limit, there's a limit There's a limit, there's a limit) There's a limit to my love (There's a limit, there's a limit There's a limit, there's a limit)
This is the chorus, repeating the message that every woman has a breaking point, and if we've had enough, we need to let him know that our love has limits. If you agree, put your hands up.
