Toni Braxton - Love, Marriage & Divorce Album Lyrics

Roller Coaster

Today I got so mad at you, yeah
It's like I couldn't control myself
Girl, I was done, I was so through with you
But I know I couldn't love nobody else

Well, I feel like you do
I'm so 'bout done with you
I'm sick and tired of going through changes
'Cause I love you, I hate you
I don't want, but I want to
Back and forth, and back
What should we do?

When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down
When love takes over, your emotions spin you round and round
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what you're feeling
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what is real
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down
And it goes back around

Today I've said some things to you, babe
I don't like the way it felt, no
I've been giving you, giving you so much attitude
I guess I really should check myself

Well, you've started it first
You said we'd make it work
But here we are, going through changes
But I need you, can't stand you
I don't want you, but damn you
Back and forth, and back
What should we do?

When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down
When love takes over, your emotions spin you round and round
And it goes back around
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what you're feeling
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what is real
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down
'Cause it goes back around

We don't ever have to worry, baby
'Cause we gonna be alright
We aren't going nowhere, darling
Just hold on for the ride

When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down
When love takes over, your emotions spin you round and round
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what you're feeling
Well, I don't, well, I don't know what is real
When love is like a roller coaster
Always up and down
'Cause it goes back around

Sweat

There you go, there you go girl
Don't you start with me
Cause I don't really wanna hear it now
Let it go, let it go girl
What we keep fighting about baby
It's feeling like a merry go round

I don't really wanna
I don't really wanna think or talk about it
Cause all we seem to do is
All we seem to do is scream and shout about it
Cause there you go, there you go boy
You just keep breaking me down
Spinning my head around

[Chorus:]
So if you really wanna fight
We can take it to the bed tonight
(Let's sweat it out)
And if you really wanna scream
I can make you scream tonight
(Let's sweat it out)
Through the good (through the good)
Through the bad (through the bad)
Be the best fight you'll ever had
Make you say ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Forget that you were ever mad

There you go, there you go girl
You don't get smart with me
Cause I can tell you really want it now, hey babe
Take it slow, take it slow girl
You just get breaking me down baby
Working me inside and out

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't really wanna
I don't really wanna think or talk about it
Cause all we seem to do is
All we seem do is scream and shout about it
Cause there you go, there you go boy
You just keep breaking me down
Spinning my head around

[Chorus:]
So if you really wanna fight
We can take it to the bed tonight
(Let's sweat it out)
And if you really wanna scream
I can make you scream tonight
(Let's sweat it out)
Through the good (through the good)
Through the bad (through the bad)
Be the best fight you'll ever had
Make you say ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Forget that you were ever mad

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't really wanna
I don't really wanna think or talk about it
Cause all we seem to do is
All we seem do is scream and shout about it
Cause there you go, there you go boy
You just keep breaking me down
Spinning my head around

[Chorus x2:]
So if you really wanna fight
We can take it to the bed tonight
(We can take it to the bed tonight)
And if you really wanna scream
I can make you scream tonight
(I can make you scream, baby)
Through the good (through the good)
Through the bad (through the bad)
Be the best fight you'll ever had
Make you say ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Forget that you were ever mad

So if you really wanna fight
We can take it to the bed tonight
(Take it to the bed, take it to the bed)
And if you really wanna scream
I can make you scream tonight
Through the good, through the bad
Be the best fight you'll ever had
Make you say ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Forget that you were ever mad

Hurt You

[Babyface:]
Here we go
Damn
Here we go again
Loving you has caused me so much pain
But you don't see it, you never see it

[Toni:]
So why apologize
I was just doing what I had to do baby
An eye for an eye

[Both:]
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you on, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you

[Babyface:]
Baby, guilty as charged
I'm not gon lie babe
I did you wrong so many times yes
So I know why you crossed the line
Oh but girl I never dreamed you'd cheat on me

[Toni:]
But I, (no, no) I apologize (don't apologize, don't apologize)
Oh baby, the pain I put you through (put you through it too
What I did to you (I did the same to you)
Oh I made you cry

[Both:]
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you on, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
[x2]
God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you

Can we start over again
Can we start baby as friends
Give you one more try
The tender kisses you give to me
Would be the only thing I'd ever need

God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
[Repeated and ad-libbed out]

Where Did We Go Wrong

[Babyface]
For as long as I loved you girl
That I gave you all my love
With all my heart and soul
I thought that I was be the one
But you didn't appreciate a single I do
You just left me with a broken heart
Didn't you, didn't you?

[Toni]
I tried to tell you baby
Tried to tell you a thousand times
Ooh you wouldn't listen baby
No matter how hard I tried
But you didn't see the love
Was so in love with you
Then you went to break my heart
Didn't you?

[Chorus]
Where did we go wrong?
Is it all my fault?
Where did we go wrong?
Is it all my fault?

[Babyface]
From the very start
I was so into you
Ooh from the beginning I was so so feeling you
But you thought I cheated, that I played around on you
But didn't you do the same, didn't you, didn't you?

[Toni]
Ooh gotta tell you baby
I gotta let you know the deal
Ooh you drove first place baby
If we're gonna keep it real
When you cheated, how you hurt my soul
Ooh you broke my heart, didn't you?

[Chorus]
Where did we go wrong?
Is it all my fault?
Where did we go wrong?
Is it all my fault?

[Babyface]
I wish I would've listened
I wish I would've heard

[Toni]
Ooh I wish I would've touched you baby
I wish I would've said the words
That I love you, I love you
I love you
I love you, I love you

[Chorus]
So where did we go wrong?
Is it all my fault?
Where did we go wrong?
Is it all my fault?

I Hope That You're Okay

I just hope that you're okay
You know
You know
I just hope that you're okay

You know I love you
But I really don't see this happening anymore
You know I love you
But I really don't think that it's worth fighting for

And although I love you
There's something I need to say
I done thought a lot about it
And I think I'm gonna leave today

But I hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I hope that you're okay
You know

You know I love you
But I can't go through the motions anymore
You know I love you
But I know you don't feel the way you did before
And although I love you
There's something I need to say
But baby it's time to just call it a day

But I hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
We can work it out
And go our separate ways

I know that I hurt you
And I didn't wanna hurt you
But now that I hurt you
Girl I know I don't deserve you
If I'm really being honest here
Girl I know you will be out of here
Cause you don't really love me no more

But I hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I hope that you're okay
You know
We can work it out
And go our separate ways

You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know

I Wish

I wish, I wish,
I wish she'd break your heart
Like you did to me
I hope you're unhappy

And I hope, I hope,
I hope she gives you a disease
So that you will see
But not enough to make you die

But only make you cry
Like you did me

I pray, I pray,
I pray your new baby is a boy
Please don't have a girl
Cause you'll give that woman the world

And I hope, I hope,
I hope she spends all of your money
Hope she makes you pay
But not enough that you can't survive

But only make you cry
Like you did me

Oh baby, oh oh baby I can hardly wait to see your face
Oh baby, oh oh baby heartbreak is gonna be the case
I hope she creeps on you with somebody who's 22
I swear to god I'm gonna be laughing at you, every day

I wish, I wish,
I wish she'd break your heart
Like you did to me
I hope you're unhappy

And I pray, I pray,
I pray she brings you to your knees
So you'll come back to me
I really don't want to see you die

But only make you cry
Like you did me

Take It Back

If we do not like our story
We can write it just the way we want
Take it back to the days of glory
And the moonlit nights of making love
I just need to know, you wanna go

[Chorus:]
Baby, let's take it back
Baby, let's take it back
I wanna get it back
Back to the way it was
Baby, let's take it back
I know we can get it back
Take it back and get back to
Back to the way it was

The odds are clearly stacked against us
We've been in this storm for way too long
There are many things that will test us
But we can win this fight if we just stay strong
And I just need to know, you wanna go

[Chorus x3:]
So baby, let's take it back
Baby, let's take it back
I wanna get it back
Back to the way it was
Baby, let's take it back
I know we can get it back
Take it back and get back to
Back to the way it was

[x2:]
Take it back to love
Let's get back to love
Take it back to love

Reunited

Say you will, say you'll be
Say you're gonna stand by me
Cause you my girl and everything
The one and only one I'll ever need
It's not that easy to say
I want you back in my life
I wanna be with my wife again

[Chorus:]
Reunited, back to the business of love
Reunited, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us
When it's me and you reunited

When you walked out of my life
Everything fell apart
But I wanna get it right
Because I'm gonna always love you boy
And I need you boy
Tell me we'll fall in love again

[Chorus:]
Reunited, back to the business of love
Reunited, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us
When it's me and you reunited

Because I'm gonna always love you boy
And I need you boy
Tell me we'll fall in love again
Again

[Chorus x2:]
Reunited, back to the business of love
Reunited, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us
When it's me and you reunited

I'd Rather Be Broke

Baby, I've been thinking
Been in this thing too long
I wanna be through
I'm sick and tired of you

And lately I've been thinking
Just because your money's strong
Don't mean you can do
The things that you do

[Chorus:]
Just so you know, I did everything
In case you don't, let me tell you this
I'm tired of spending all my time
And waiting on your dime
And get lovin' half the time
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you

Baby, I've been thinking
How you've treated me so wrong
I put up with you
And that ain't gon do

And, baby, I've been thinking
That I'm better off alone
It's long overdue
I won't be the fool

[Chorus:]
Just so you know, I did everything
In case you don't, let me tell you this
I'm tired of spending all my time
And waiting on your dime
And get lovin' half the time
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you

[x2:]
I gave you chances
Too many chances
But you went too far
You went and broke my heart

I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you [x4]

I gave you chances
Too many chances
But you went too far
You went and broke my heart

Heart Attack

[Chorus:]
You know you want me back
You up here bout to have a heart attack
You know, you know, you know, you want it bad
That's why you bout to have a heart attack
Ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo...

I saw her walkin, I said who's that lady by the door
Feel like I know her, I swear I seen that walk before
So I got closer, to see what's going down
She was with someone else, I was kinda freaking out

I see you looking and wishing
Don't act like you don't want it again

[Chorus:]
You know you want me back
You up here bout to have a heart attack
You know, you know, you know, you want it bad
That's why you bout to have a heart attack
Ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo...

I said "How are you? How you doing? How you been?"
She says "I'm lovely, did I introduce my friend?"
I started treat her, don't even know what for
Seeing her with someone else is only made me want it more

I see you looking and wishing
Don't act like you don't want it again

[Chorus x2:]
You know you want me back
You up here bout to have a heart attack
You know, you know, you know, you want it bad
That's why you bout to have a heart attack
Ooo ooo ooo...

I I want it, I need it
I want it, I need it
I I want it, I need it
I want it, I want it...

[Chorus x2:]
You know you want me back
You up here bout to have a heart attack
You know, you know, you know, you want it bad
That's why you bout to have a heart attack
Ooo ooo ooo...

Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo...

[Chorus:]
You know you want me back
You up here bout to have a heart attack
You know you know you know you want it bad
That's why you bout to have a heart attack
Ooo ooo ooo...

The D Word

I put the papers on your doorstep
The keys under the mat
Although the lawyer said to mail you
I'm still not over yet

There's so much I wanna tell you
But I really need to forget
Even though we're not together

Girl I will miss you (oh boy I will miss you)
Even though you broke my heart
I will miss you (I'm gonna miss you)
Cause I'll always love you, love you (always love you)
Forever think of you, of you (of you)
And I'll always want you, want you (always want you)
Forever think of you, of you (think of you)

Although we're apart
You still own my heart
Forever, and ever
And ever

I never liked the sound of single
It don't sound good to me
Tell me how I'm suppose to mingle
When you're all I wanna see

There's so much I want to tell you
But I really need to forget
Even though we're not together

Girl I will miss you (oh boy I will miss you)
Even though you broke my heart
I will miss you (I'm gonna miss you)
Cause I'll always love you, love you (always love you)
Forever think of you, of you (of you)
And I'll always want you, want you (always want you)
Forever think of you, of you (think of you)

Although we're apart
You still own my heart
Forever, and ever
And ever

Cause I'll always love you, love you (always love you)
Forever think of you, of you (of you)
And I'll always want you, want you (always want you)
Forever think of you, of you (think of you)

Although we're apart
You still own my heart
Forever, and ever
And ever
