Been That Way

I wanna know how we became so distant girl

The way we fell in love it was almost instant

I'm tryna find a way around it

Girl tell me how you feel about it

You still love me, that's the way it's sounding

Thank God I would have never found this, I doubt it

I'm there for you if you allow it

Girl you know I gotta keep you around me

All this paper we counting, blazing these ounces

Spending on you baby no matter what the amount is

Now you wanna know what's gotten into me, what's changed?

I guess I had a hard time showing it at first but

Baby it's been that way

Baby it's been that way

Baby I still feel the same

Something I gotta maintain

Listen to me when I say

Baby it's always, always, always been that way

It's always been that way

(Didn't I tell you girl?)

It's always been that way

Baby I still feel the same

Something I gotta maintain

Listen to me when I say

It's always been that way

How did we become so distant?

Like I'm the one to blame and you're innocent

I try to make a way, make a difference, but

Some things don't change, I can't complain

I try not to think about you

What can I say, everytime I get near you

I want that old thing back, now bring it to me

Shorty keep telling me what to do about you

Then she got jealous soon as she knew about you

She don't never want to see us go through round two

(Cut her off!) Cut her off that's what I'm doing now, you

Told me I should go out and do my thing

(Damn right!) Damn right I do my thing

Now you want to know what's gotten into me, what's changed?

But baby none change

Baby it's been that way

Baby it's been that way

Baby I still feel the same

Something I gotta maintain

Listen to me when I say

Baby it's always, always, always been that way

It's always been that way

(Didn't I tell you girl?)

It's always been that way

Baby I still feel the same

Something I gotta maintain

Listen to me when I say

It's always been that way
