Temptations got me doing the wrong thing
And I wanna do right by my baby girl
Cause I know she deserves it

But something keeps pulling me back me back
By making the same mistakes all over again
I'm diggin myself a grave

Making a bigger hole
Where all my skeletons are making their home
I know if it gets out I know that's over

So when will I close all these doors

Everytime I tell myself I'm going to change

I end up right back here
And everytime I say I'm getting out the game
I end up right back here

It's like the more I try to change the more I stay the same
I'm trying to find my place, it's driving me insane
Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change

I end up right back here, it's like I'll always end up right here

I'm sittin there trying to figure out what I'm gon do

All this back and forward ain't cool
Tired of making her play the fool
It's bout the thousandth time that shes heard the same story

And I know shes tired of hearin it cause I'm tired of tellin it
I don't wanna break her heart no more
But I don't know what to do

If I leave her she'll be crushed
But if I keep messin up
Man I'm a lose my baby anyway


Everytime I tell myself I'm going to change
I end up right back here

And everytime I say I'm getting out the game
I end up right back here
It's like the more I try to change the more I stay the same

I'm trying to find my place, it's driving me insane
Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change
I end up right back here, it's like I'll always end up right here


Baby tell me what to do, I don't really wanna leave
But the leave pain is temporary it's me staying that's really scary

I can't keep chippin at your heart
Soon it's gonna fall apart
But I'm sure you don't understand it

But I'm setting up the next man
Now would you feel much better off if I was to walk out the door
Don't wanna cause anymore frustration than I had before

This time I'm gonna be a man about it and go
Need to find out where my heart is at cause I don't know no more


Everytime I tell myself I'm going to change
I end up right back here
And everytime I say I'm getting out the game

I end up right back here
It's like the more I try to change the more I stay the same
I'm trying to find my place, it's driving me insane

Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change
I end up right back here, it's like I'll always end up right here
