Lyrics of 'U Deserve' by Monica

Oh...yeah...yeah
Oh...oh...oh...
Listen to me

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Yes, you do)
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games
(No, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it (No, no)
Regardless (No, no) who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it

Why you wanna be with him
'Cause all you ever do is cry
He'll tell you that you ain't enough
He's tearin' you apart inside

And when you need a ear, I listen
To everything you have to say
I tell you every day to leave
But it seems you'd rather stay

And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don't do you no good to just sweat him
And girl, you can't just let him abuse you
I'll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (So when you're hurt)
Don't come cryin' (Don't) talkin' 'bout he's playin'
games (Maybe you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it

Now that you've a guy you'll kiss
Can't you use him as your strength
To get out of a bad situation
To get out this relationship

I promise you he'll never change
I know you really want him to
So all the things he promises
I hope you don't expect him to do

And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don't do you no good to just sweat him,
oh, no, no
And girl, you can't just let this man abuse you
I'll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to then you deserve

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so when
you're hurt, oh)
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it then you deserve it

Peep the whole scene and whatever's goin' on around me
Burned out, clutchin' my pillow, stuck in the County
You hate when I step off with honeys and rabies break
Who sayin' I want a baby chase, you can't relate
Pump your brakes, mami, please 'cause you buggin' me out
And treat me worse than them streets, it's like doggin' me out
But I could look into your eyes and see you achin' inside
You hope I da-da-da-da-da-da-da
You deserve (And so you deserve)

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh,
heartache and the pain)
Don't come cryin' (Don't come cryin') talkin' 'bout
he's playin' games (No, no, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
If you put up with it, ooh, then you deserve it

Listen to me
Realize that I can make you see
Are you ??? now
Do you wanna live a lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh listen)

You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so when you
hurt)
Don't come cryin' talkin' 'bout he's playin' games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it (Life is what you
make of it, oh)
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
If you put up with it you deserve it
