  • Yeah

    Ever felt so ugly, pretending that he loves me
    Sometimes it's just not money, never had to afford me
    Now I'm sick and tired of you just taking right off
    Knowing I'd forgive you
    You ain't here for dinner
    Like I'm a beginner
    I loved you for your inner, inner, inner
    And the next guy is out there somewhere
    But you won't dare cause you're too scared

    Have you ever needed someone so bad?
    But he ain't willing to make it last
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
    If it makes you cry, cry, cry
    And all you do is fight
    Can't get no sleep at night
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again

    Ever felt this sorry? All you did was worry
    You didn't want nobody, thought it would get better
    But it's falling more than
    Oh, it's falling more than ever
    I just hoped that we would
    'Cause you're always up to no good
    Maybe it'll take someone else to show me better
    But I don't wanna leave ya

    Have you ever needed someone so bad?
    But he ain't willing to make it last
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again
    If it makes you cry, cry, cry
    And all you do is fight
    Can't get no sleep at night
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again

    Some of you know what it feels like
    Caught up just in his life
    Don't wanna try again, thinking, what's the difference?
    Why am I not interested?
    'Cause when you've been broken, you feel like no one can fix it
    Yeah

    Have you ever needed someone so bad?
    But he ain't willing to make it last
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again (win again)
    (Oh, and if it makes you cry)
    If it makes you cry, cry, cry
    'Cause all you do is fight
    Can't get no sleep at night
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again (yeah, yeah)

    Oh, oh, oh
    Sometimes you gotta lose
    You've gotta lose to win again

    Have you ever needed someone so bad?
    To make it last
    Sometimes you gotta lose to win again Writer/s: Andrea Martin, Dennis Lambert, Francine Golde, Harmony Samuels, Walter Orange
