Temptations got me doing the wrong thing   And I wanna do right by my baby girl   Cause I know she deserves it   But something's always pulling me back, me back   I'm making the same mistakes all over again   I'm digging myself a grave   Making a bigger hole   Where all my skeletons are making their home   And if it gets out, I know that it's over   So when will I close all of these doors      Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back [x2]   And everytime I say I'm getting out the game   I end up right back [x2]   It's like the more I try to change, the more I stay the same   I'm tryna find my place, it's driving me insane   Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back, it's like I'll always end up right here      I'm sitting there trynna figure out what I'm gon' do   All this back and forward ain't cool   Tired of making her play the fool   It's about the thousandth time and she's heard the same story   And I know she's tired of hearing it, 'cause I'm tired of telling it   And oh, 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 messing up   Man I'ma lose my baby anyway      Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back [x2]   And everytime I say I'm getting out the game   I end up right back [x2]   It's like the more I try to change, the more I stay the same   I'm tryna find my place, it's driving me insane   Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back, 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 chipping 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 you 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 gonna change   I end up right back [x2]   And everytime I say I'm getting out the game   I end up right back [x2]   It's like the more I try to change, the more I stay the same   I'm tryna find my place, it's driving me insane   Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back, it's like I'll always end up right here      Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back [x2]   And everytime I say I'm getting out the game   I end up right back [x2]   It's like the more I try to change, the more I stay the same   I'm tryna find my place, it's driving me insane   Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna change   I end up right back, it's like I'll always end up right here
