Do Better Lyrics by Layabouts

Future Retro

0

[Verse 1: Portia Monique]
I gave you all of my love
You gave me none in return
I said goodbye to my heart
And now were memories apart
You took advantage of me
And I just let you, I just let you, I just let you do it
It's time for me to be free, and let you go
If this is how love is supposed to be
I don't want it, I don't want

[Chorus: Portia Monique]
If this is how love is supposed to be
I don't want it, I don't want it
Cause I can do better, nothing last forever
Yes I can do better, without it
Cause I can do better, nothing last forever
Without it...

[Verse 2: Portia Monique]
I gave you all of my trust
And you threw it all away
I've done all that I could do for you
You never met me half way
You'd better not try redeem yourself
Coz I just let you, I just let you, I just let you do it
You wasted too much of my precious time
You won't get more and more

[Chorus: Portia Monique]
If this is how love is supposed to be
I don't want it, I don't want
If this is how love is supposed to be
I don't want it, I don't want it
Cause I can do better, nothing last forever
Yes I can do better, without it
Cause I can do better, nothing last forever
Without it...

[Bridge: Portia Monique]
What was I thinking
When I feel so deep in love with you
Was half of my brain missing
When I fell, fell right in to you
You never gave me anything
While I gave you my everything
This love game is a give a and take
And you took everything

[Reprise: Portia Monique]
What was I thinking
While I gave you my everything
This love game is a give a and take
And you took everything
What was I thinking
While I gave you my everything
This love game is a give a and take
And you took everything

[Chorus: Portia Monique]
If this is how love is supposed to be
I don't want it, I don't want
If this is how love is supposed to be
I don't want it, I don't want it
Cause I can do better, nothing last forever
Yes I can do better, without it
Cause I can do better, nothing last forever
