Verse 1

Trust is a thing
A thing of the past
I knew this relationship wouldn't last
You never ever seem to keep your word to me…ooh wee

Verse 2

Your love is good
But your timing is bad
The most irresponsible man I've ever had, Lawd
You left me hanging for the very last time tonight…
That's right…Oh

Chorus

Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?

Verse 3

You got some stuff
That I don't understand
Who can I depend on if it ain my man?
I dare you say, "gimme one more chance" again
The end.

Chorus (2x)

Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?

Bridge

I tried to provide
A place for you in my life
But you ain't ready
You ain't steady
Now you've run out of time!

Chorus

Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
