Look at you
|
Different day but same damn bags
|
You're on my porch
|
And I don't even have to ask
|
I see tears in your eyes
|
As you come inside and breakdown
|
|
So what's he done
|
And I hope this don't take long
|
Cause you know one call from him
|
And you'll be home before morn
|
Here's a friendly hug
|
Followed by tough love
|
Are you ready?
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
He's only gonna treat you
|
The way he knows he can
|
It's all up to you my sista to show him that he can't
|
Have you had enough
|
Cause it's been long enough
|
Time for a change
|
Starting with you
|
|
No, don't say a word
|
Listen to Deborah for once
|
Cause I went thru the same thing
|
So I'll tell you what needs to be done
|
Mavis said it best
|
Girl respect yourself
|
It starts with you
|
|
You want him to be a better man
|
And you want him to treat you better than you treat yourself,
|
Girl you can help by showing him how he can
|
You can start by building your self esteem
|
Start believing you can do anything
|
And you'll find your man will fall in line
|
And if he don't than leave him behind
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Starting With You
