Woah, the girl I love
has got to be together
Want true love
and cherish me forever
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
‘Bout to lose my mind

I don't want your sympathy
for the shape that I'm in
I've been hurt before
I don't want it to happen again
I gave you my love so unselfishly
But all that I got back
in return was misery
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
‘Bout to lose my mind
‘Bout to lose my mind

My papa told me,
son you better wait
(son you better wait now)
But I didn't listen, now I got to pay
If I had listened to what I was told
I can't see how I'd be treated so cold
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
‘Bout to lose my mind
‘Bout to lose my mind

I need a love
that I can depend on yeah
I need a love
that keeps me going strong
I need a love
that shines like a light yeah
I need a love
that can keep me uptight
Because I've fallen in love
too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind

Well I've been hurt (hurt),
misused (misused),

Because I've fallen in love

Just to be hurt and treated unkind
