Love won't come from someone
Who don't want to see you thrive
So if his love is holding you down
That's not love babygirl, that's pride
If he's holding you down inside
Then love is something he won't provide
If he's holding you down inside
Then love is something he won't provide
Love is patient
Love is pure
Love isn't a game that people play
When they're lonely or insecure, no
Love is selfless
Love is kind
Love is something you can only give
If you wanna see somebody shine
There isn't a thing
I wouldn't do for you
I would bury my pride
Just to bare your fruits
If love is a verb
Then let your actions show
Otherwise you gotta let them go
And you should know that
Love won't come from someone
Who don't want to see you thrive
So if her love is holding you down
That's not love anymore, that's pride
If she's holding you down inside
Then love is something she won't provide
If she's holding you down inside
Then love is something she won't provide
Girl, I hate to see you frown
Love to turn that upside down
But at the same time, if you need to be sad
I'm right here in your corner til the sadness passes baby
I love to watch your dreams
Come true
I'll do what I have to do
For you
But if it means
That I'm watching from the side
Girl you're worthy of the glory
I just want to see you shine
Cause you're language of love
Is a tongue of the soul
When I tell you, I love you
It means I would go
To the ends of the earth
Just to water your rose
If I say, I love you
It's because I know that
Love won't come from someone
Who don't want to see you thrive
So if their love is holding you down
That's not love anymore, that's pride
If they're holding you down inside
Then love is something they won't provide
If they're holding you down inside
Then love is something they won't provide
I said
Love won't come from someone
Who don't want to see you thrive
So if their love is holding you down
That's not love babygirl, that's pride
Said, if they're holding you down inside
Love is something they won't provide
Said, if they're holding you down inside
Then love is something they won't provide
If they're holding you
Holding you, holding you
If they're holding you
Holding you, holding you
If they're holding you down
Then baby, maybe
Love won't come from someone
Who don't want to see you thrive
So if their love is holding you down
That's not love babygirl, that's pride
