[Intro]
Mmm, yeah
Mmm, listen
I wanna ask you a question
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Haha

[Verse 1]
Here we go again, babe
You think I'm tryna hurt ya and you're comin' at me, I don't see
How you could do me that way
I never lied, tried to be the man you ask of me
Do I gotta be around you all day, to make you feel I care?
'Cause I give you everything that you need, buy you things, pull out ya chair
Why you doin' me so bad, babe? Gotta meet me halfway
Darlin', I don't understand why

[Chorus]
Why is it so hard for you to let me in? (Hey)
You got me payin' the price for your ex-boyfriend, tell me
Why is it so hard for you to trust me? (Trust mе)
I try to tell you things, you believе everyone but me, baby
Why is it so hard for you to let it go? (Let it go)
Makin' it impossible for our relationship to grow (Ooh-wee)
What can I do to make you see? (Hey) Just believe and trust in me
Baby, can you tell me why is it, why is it so hard? (Mm-hmm)
[Verse 2]
Do you really wanna be here?
'Cause I back off no matter how much it hurts, just say the word (Hey)
You sayin' that it's me, I'm the cause
You think I'm cheatin' when you know I'm at work, you got some nerve
Do you gotta keep checkin' my phone, to see there's no one else?
For what ya puttin' me through, I'd rather be by myself
Why you doin' me so bad, baby? Meet me halfway (Yeah)
Darlin', I don't understand why

[Chorus]
Why is it so hard for you to let me in? (Hey)
You got me payin' the price for your ex-boyfriend, tell me
Why is it so hard for you to trust me? (Trust me)
I try to tell you things, you believe everyone but me, baby (Ooh, tell me)
Why is it so hard for you to let it go? (Let it go)
Makin' it impossible for our relationship to grow
What can I do to make you see? Just believe and trust in me (Trust in me)
Baby, can you tell me why is it, why is it so hard? (Yeah)
Why is it so hard for you to let me in? (Why's it so hard)
You got me payin' the price for your ex-boyfriend, tell me (For you to let me in?)
Why is it so hard for you to trust me? (I don't wanna pay the price)
I try to tell you things, you believe everyone but me, baby (That your ex-boyfriend)
Why is it so hard for you to let it go?
Makin' it impossible for our relationship to grow (Said a-ooh-wee)
What can I do to make you see? Just believe and trust in me (Ooh, ooh)
Baby, can you tell me why is it, why is it so hard? (Ooh, oh yeah, yeah, listen, why?)
[Bridge]
Take a second, to see what's really goin' on (What's goin' on)
Ask yourself, have I done anything? (Mmm)
Besides what you think, or what your girlfriends tell ya (What she tell ya)
Tell me the truth (Yeah), don't you see a good man? (Come)
Don't lose because of what happened in the past
I'm tryin' to hold on, 'cause I think you gon' change (Yeah)
It's killin' me, don't know how long I can last
Don't make me suffer for the next man, I ain't the same

[Chorus]
Why is it so hard for you to let me in? (Yeah, ooh, yeah)
You got me payin' the price for your ex-boyfriend, tell me (I ain't the same, nah)
Why is it so hard for you to trust me?
I try to tell you things, you believe everyone but me, baby (I'ma be a man and stand)
Why is it so hard for you to let it go? (On my word)
Makin' it impossible for our relationship to grow (Say yeah)
What can I do to make you see? (Say yeah) Just believe and trust in me (Trust in me)
Baby, can you tell me why is it, why is it so hard? (Why?)
Why is it so hard for you to let me in?
You got me payin' the price for your ex-boyfriend, tell me (I'ma do what I'm supposed to do)
Why is it so hard for you to trust me? (Trust me)
I try to tell you things, you believe everyone but me, baby (Say yeah)
Why is it so hard for you to let it go? (Say yeah)
Makin' it impossible for our relationship to grow (Yeah)
What can I do to make you see? (What can I do) Just believe and trust in me (Just believe)
Baby, can you tell me why is it, why is it so hard? (Say yeah)
