I Don't Give "Why

Intro: Marc Dorsey (LL Cool J)  
 
This is for my number  
one, this is for my number  
one (Yeah, uh!)  
This is for my number  
one, true meanin for I adore (Uh!)  
 
Verse 1: LL Cool J  
This is hard to say, I wanna make sure I go about this in the right way  
Cause lately I been busy alot  
And I know you don't feel appreciated and what not  
I use to tell you that your hair look fly  
Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes  
Now I talk real foul and slick  
Every other sentence is you make me sick  
Back in the days I was your number one pick  
Now your heart's half broken and that's hard to fix  
I had to dig deep inside myself  
Cause I can't see you bouncin with somebody else  
It's a long journey back to the place we was  
When I was too embarassed to admit I was in love  
And you was a good girl that wouldn't give it up  
I can't let her self destruct, uh uh  
 
 
Chorus: Marc Dorsey  
Baby smile today, cause I been imaginin' more ways 
I'm gonna luv u better  
And your friends will see it too  
Just when you think there's nothin else I can do  
I'm gonna luv u better  
 
Verse 2: LL Cool J  
When I think about the things we did  
And I think about you havin my kids  
And I think about us sharin a crib, losin all that God forbid  
You deserve flowers and candy the simple things  
In addiction to the SL's, baguettes and rings  
Instead I walk around line I'm a king  
And havin you ain't nothin but a thing (Only A thing)  
I need to stop tellin you the lovin was good  
Too busy frontin in the hood  
Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go  
I'm a do it real gentle baby nice and slow  
One more chance baby and don't say no  
Cause I got another side to show  
Some say love is painful it helps you grow  
Well it's time for the pain to go you know  
 
Chorus: Marc Dorsey  
Baby smile today, cause I been imaginin' more ways 
I'm gonna luv u better  
And your friends will see it too  
Just when you think there's nothin else I can do  
I'm gonna luv you better  
 
Bridge: LL Cool J (Marc Dorsey)  
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)  
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)  
So let's, laugh together cry together  
God willing we gon die together  
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)  
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)  
So let's, laugh together cry together  
God willing we gon die together  
 
Verse 3: LL Cool J  
This a brand new me, a brand new you  
A brand new day, sky so blue  
Hold my hand while I walk with you  
Sit on my lap let me talk to you  
No more games callin you foul names  
Actin like females is all the same  
I'm gon love you better my mentality changed  
From this day forward I'll never be the same  
I'm a rub your lower back, share my dreams  
I love you let me show you what I mean  
Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen  
Watch you sleep so peaceful and serene  
A toast to the queen your back in my life  
But this time I'm a do it right  
Trust me, from the bottom of my heart  
Nothin's gonna tear us apart I promise  
 
Chorus: Marc Dorsey  
Baby smile today, cause I been imaginin' more ways 
I'm gonna luv you better  
And your friends will see it too  
Just when you think there's nothin else I can do  
I'm gonna luv u better  
Baby smile today, cause I been imaginin' more ways 
I'm gonna luv u better  
And your friends will see it too  
Just when you think there's nothin else I can do  
I'm gonna luv u better  
 
Outro: LL Cool J (Marc Dorsey)
