Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no, oh no
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
You got to be strong
Never want to see you crying over me
Oh no, no no no no
You gotta be strong, oh my love
I know I've hurt you more than once
Treating your love like I don't response
Time in deed, caught up on me
Trapped in your tears
Please set me free I plea
Maybe I took this life for granted
Making you feel like you're not wanted
Ego got the best of me
Chasing every beautiful woman I see
In the end what's my reward
I brought unhappiness in a mi yard, oh Lord
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
No no no no no no no
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
Dry your weeping eyes, oh my love
And this may sound just like a drama
Inside me there's constant fire
Burning my soul, saying oh what a liar
You've hurt me, so much time hurt her no longer
But I am really a true believer in love
Trying my best to make it work
Show me a man who doesn't cheat
Nor flirt in this world
Boys will be attracted to girls
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
Got to be strong
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
No no no no no no no
I know that I've hurt you more than once
Treating your love like I don't response
Time in deed, caught up on me
Trapped in your tears
Please set me free I plea
Maybe I took this love for granted
Making you feel like you're not wanted
Ego got the best of me
Chasing every beautiful woman I see
In the end what's my reward
I brought unhappiness in a mi yard, oh Lord
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
Wipe your eyes
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
You got to be strong

Sometimes we hold on to things and people that aren't suppose to be in our lives. Love not suppose to hurt, give him the boot and get back to loving yourself and living intentionally.
