I Understand

I understand, I understand
I understand, I understsand
Girl I understand, I understand
See I understand

used to be the life of the party
Now you walk with your head hung low
Cuz he rides your nerves like a Harley
and it's obvious to those who know
now you take to wearing make up
to hide the marks that wasn't there before
in your heart you wanna break up
cant find the nerve to walk out that door

why dont you take those chains
and break those chains?
no love should cause you so much pain
why dont you walk away?
before it gets too late
see i understand
love should never hurt

you should have left the first time that he hit ya
but instead you just stayed and cried
your friends and family tried to tell you
but you told them to mind their behinds
a career girl with a bright future
you had so much going on in your life
since that man came along and abused ya
your life has been everything but right

two babies at home
cant pay the damn loan
girl its all wrong
you gotta move on

you say you really love him
i understand lady
but tell me

why dont you take those chains
and break those chains?
no love should cause you so much pain
why dont you walk away?
before it gets too late
see i understand
love should never hurt

why dont you leave that man
go on your own?
you'll survive you are strong
spread your wings fly away
girl dont cry another day
dont give up take a chance
find your way
make a stand
you'll find there is a better plan
out there for you

why dont you take those chains
and break those chains?
no love should cause you so much pain
why dont you walk away?
before it gets too late
see i understand
love should never hurt
