I can't believe I let myself get carried away
Never thought I'd see the day
That a boy, yes a boy, could break my heart
And it happened so quick, it didn't get too far
Now I'm shedding tears I shouldn't shed
Letting sorrowful thoughts crowd my head
I'm thinking could I have done anything to change his ways
But a dog always wants to play
And I will hurt, and it hurts like hell
But life goes on and I must say "oh well"

All my life they told me that my beauty was all I had
That I'd end up being some trophy wife and it was too bad
I was obviously intelligent but that meant nothing to them
I should just model and be pretty cause that's how I'd win
They broke my confidence for only a moment in time
Then you brought me back and showed me where my future could lie
I could be the success I had dreamed of being
I could be the woman with a powerful meaning
And people said my name, it wouldn't be because I was beautiful
It would be because I was a neccessity and I was useful
More than just a pretty face, more than someone to look at
They will remember me for me way past my death

He's a pretty boi, I guess he wanted a pretty girl
And who doesn't in this "gotta-be-pretty" world
But if he's shallow then that's gotta change
Cause living on my beauty is not my game
And living for another's satisfaction won't work
I love myself before any, I know my worth
My personality and intellect will be all I have left
When my beauty fades it's just me and myself
And if you feel that I have to be beautiful just be yours
Then maybe I shouldn't be, we shoulda discussed this before
My heart is worth more than my facial features
And it won't be broken for the sake of superficial believers
I am more than my face and hair
My personality is what you should compare
That's where my wealth stands
My heart, know it, that's what I demand
So please don't get angry, you don't understand my reason for change
Just know that through it all I remain the same

Young and tryna live it up
I'm sick and had enough
You can't get the best of both worlds
I aint no foolish girl
Tell me what it is you want
You aint even gotta front
If you consider me to be a possibilty
Of being your potential wifey
Then let me know whats it is
I aint got time for tears
Don't drag my heart into your fun and games
Tell me the truth and I won't change
I understand that maybe you wanna enjoy your youth
But let me know what you want me to do
If you just wanna chill then let me know
But if you consider a chance for more then its a go
I'll put in the effort to make the best of things
But if you just want a cutty buddy then let me know what it is
Its a simple request, to relieve a little stress, and trust I understand
Do you just want some fun, or the possibility of really being my man

So sick and tired of men tryna be so damn hard
That they can't act like they gotta heart
Its such a shame that they feel
That they'd lose so much by being real
Pretending that they don't ever feel hurt
Actin' like love aint what it's worth
They say we talk too much but they say nothing over and over again
Like expressing emotion will make them less of a man
You need to open your eyes and see, that I need
A real man, man enough to say what he feels and wants to be
Real enough to not worry bout anyone else and what they have to say
Real by night and by day
Where's the real man hiding
And is he deciding
To be real
