[Verse 1]
I told once, I told you twice "don't settle down"
I'll tell you now what goes around comes back around, yeah
I know it is gonna hurt like I do, but know it is gonna hurt like I do
Gonna break it down, can you take on down, gonna work it out
But it's a mess a minute after you leave the house, yeah
I know it is gonna hurt like I do, yeah

[Chorus]
You don't hold me like you used to, used to
Cause that's what you used to, you choose
Really don't mind if I lose you, if this is the real you
So tell me, am I wasting my time?
You don't hold me like you used to, used to
Let you go on and do you, do you
We both know that you used to, used to
You don't hold me like you used to, no

[Verse 2]
Impatiently I tried to be all that you wanted
But basically it's legally that I don't want it, yeah
But baby I got better things to do, and he going to be here a quarter after two
And mentally, you couldn't finish what we started
I paid a price and now I know you can't afford it
I know it's hard to understand the truth, yeah
[Chorus]
You don't hold me like you used to, used to
Cause that's what you used to, you choose
Really don't mind if I lose you, if this is the real you
So tell me, am I wasting my time?
You don't hold me like you used to, used to
Let you go on and do you, do you
We both know that you used to, used to
You don't hold me like you used to, no
