Hone$t John - You Took My Smile (feat. Paris Shire) Lyrics

Yeah, your mother loves me, your father he won't let you
That nigga can't stand me but he still respects you
You wanna keep him strong so you never try to stand up
Battles I can't win questions in which I don't have the answers
He thinks that I will use you
Do things you're not used to
Wait til you're in love then use that same love to abuse you
You hear what he says and you act like you don't know me
You say that you love me but you never really show me
(We could be
But you make it hard for me
And you
Who knew...
That you would take from me?...
We could be
But you make it hard for me
And you
Who knew...
That you would take from me?...)
What he says goes and I don't like to play that game
You're looking for marriage but you won't surrender up his name
So you can't have mine he will not allow you
He thinks I'm an error before you even start the trial
Damn it's a predicament
He doesn't share my sentiments
He thinks I love his daughter but only when it's intimate
But that's the furthest from the truth
I was tryna get to know you...I
Been here before shawty this ain't nothing new
But I knew...I knew...
I was taking a chance on you

But you took my smile
It took me quite awhile, to figure it out
But you took my smile
You took it away
From me!
But you took my smile
It took me quite awhile, to figure it out
But you took my smile
You took it away
From me!

Yeah your mother loves me, your brother cannot stand me
I mean I just be chillin' I swear I don't get your family
I do the things I have to, do things that I don't want to
They claim they have your back but what about your frontal?
They're trying to protect you, I'm trying to protect you
But you're like Harvard you're so damn hard to get to
So damn hard to connect to
Too many ideas now this love is like conceptual

We could be
But you make it hard for me
And you
Who knew...
That you would take from me?...
We could be
But you make it hard for me
And you
Who knew...
That you would take from me?...

But you took my smile
It took me quite awhile, to figure it out
But you took my smile
You took it away
From me!
(We could be
But you make it hard for me
And you
Who knew...
That you would take from me?...)
But you took my smile
It took me quite awhile, to figure it out
But you took my smile
You took it away
From me!

We could be
But you make it hard for me
And you
Who knew...
That you would take from me?...
