Lauryn Hill Ex Factor Song Lyrics
Lauryn Hill, live in Tokyo, 1999Yo, y-yo, yo, y-yoYo, uh, yo, y-yo, yo, y-yo
It could all be so simple (ba-ba-ba-baby, baby, baby)But you’d rather make it hard (huh, uh)Loving you is like a battle (it’s like a battle)And we both end up with scars
Tell me who I have to be (who I have to be)To get some reciprocitySee, no one loves you more than me (more than me)And no one ever will (no one ever will, yeah)
Is this just a silly game (silly game)That forces you to act this way? (to act this way)Forces you to scream my nameThen pretend that you can’t stay (yeah)
Tell me, who I have to be (I know what we gotta do)To get some reciprocitySee, no one loves you more than meAnd no one ever will
No matter how I think we growYou always seem to let me knowIt ain’t working (it ain’t working, no), it ain’t workingAnd when I try to walk awayYou’d hurt yourself to make me stayThis is crazy, this is crazy (oh, this is crazy, uh-huh)
I keep letting you back in (you back in)How can I explain myself? (I don’t understand why)As painful as this thing has beenI just can’t be with no one else
See I know what we’ve got to do (yeah)You let go (you let go), and I’ll let go too (and I’ll let go)‘Cause no one’s hurt me more than youAnd no one ever will
No matter how I think we growYou always seem to let me knowIt ain’t working (it ain’t working), it ain’t working (it ain’t working)And when I try to walk awayYou’d hurt yourself to make me stayThis is crazy (this is crazy), this is crazy (this is crazy)
Care for me, care for meI know you care for me(There) There for me, there for meSaid you’d be there for me(Cry) Cry for me, cry for meYou said you’d die for me(Give) Give to me, give to meWhy won’t you live for me?(Care) Care for me, care for meYou said you’d care for me(There) There for me, there for meSaid you’d be there for me(Cry) Cry for me, cry for meYou said you’d die for me(Give) Give to me, give to meWhy won’t you live for me?
Take it down now(Cry) Take it down now(Give) Take it down now(Care) Take it down now(There) Take it down now(Cry) Take it down, take it down for now(Give)
