Text: Keyshia Cole. The Way It Is. You've Changed.
Sounds like a love song, sounds like a love song
Alright we heard your side of the story, hear mine
I'mma tell you why, 'cause you changed
When you got dough, nah nah nah nah nah, no you listen
I remember like yesterday
The very day I met you
You were lookin' fly, I was actin' shy
So when you walked on by I ignored you
But then you turned around and asked my name
And in an instant my attitude changed
Swept me off my feet, you were so sweet
Full of comedy, you amused me
Gave you my number, next day you called
Askin' if you could see me
So I said alright, you can stop on by
It gave me butterflies
30 minutes, knock, knock it's you
I'm glad to see you, but I keep my cool
From day one I fell in love with you
But now I ask myself who are you because
You've changed, you've changed
You got dough and changed
You got dough and you changed
Baby you changed
It wasn't the same
You got dough and changed
You got dough and you changed
What was I to do
You were never there, why should I be there
There's no one there to hold me
I'm young at heart and age and these are the days
When a girl like me needs lovin'
If he's not then someone else is
Gettin' what he calls his
You wasn't taking care of home, left me there alone
So what's a girl to do when she's feelin' in the mood
We were together but we grew apart
Thinkin' with my mind and not my heart
Packed up all my things, left the engagement ring
'Cause from the looks of things, I can't do this
Live this life that I call my life
If this is what it's like being your wife
I'd rather be a friend than through the thick and thin
But now is the end of my sufferin'
You've changed, you've changed
You've got dough and changed baby
You got dough and you changed
It wasn't the same
'Cause you got dough and changed
You got dough and you changed
What was I to do
What was I to do
Sit around and wait for you to call
When I wanted to be in your arms
Missin' you every minute you were gone
You were gone to long
Doing who knows what, who knows where
You act like you didn't care
When I told you, I wouldn't be here
'Cause you changed
You've changed, you've changed
You got dough and changed
You got dough and you changed
It wasn't the same
You got dough and changed, baby
You got dough and you changed
What was I to do
No it ain't about the cars, with the rems or the rings
No it ain't about the lies, or the houses, and minks
Perpatratin' with the hoes brokin' promises please
No it ain't about the life that you givin' to me
No it ain't about it
No it ain't about it
No it ain't about the cars, with the rems or the rings
No it ain't about the lies, or the houses, and minks
Perpatratin' with the hoes brokin' promises please
No it ain't about the life that you givin' to me
No it ain't about it
No it ain't about it
Alright we heard your side of the story, hear mine
