    Lyrics:
    Baby you don't pay me no mind
    You act like you don't love me no more
    Maybe you need space or some time
    Your attitude is unpredictable and I don't want to make you unhappy
    If your not happy then you're free to go on cuz I don't want you stayin around if I make you so Miserable
    If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
    Go ahead and free yourself (go ahead and free yourself)
    If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
    Go ahead to someone else (go ahead to someone else)
    If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
    Go ahead and free yourself (go ahead and free yourself)
    If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
    Go ahead to someone else (go ahead to someone else)

      Yeah because it escalates and ruining both lives. Its better to put a stop immediately or things get so hard. VERY difficult. One of us could have a terrible record worse case you guys can beat the hell out of one. It really sucks because shit just happens. U never decided or designed ur relationship with your best friend. However. I do believe in miracles. After the hate is gone. Somehow someway you see the day as simply stupid. Omg i shoulve never go have a smoothie talm bout what happpened to us. True story. 50% was my fault. Also being misunderstood is such a pain in the ass!!!

    Years ago, when this song first came out, I played it everyday... And, I was singing this song in the car one morning while driving my daughter to day care, and my 3 year old daughter broke down in tears saying, " I DO LOVE YOU MOMMY... I ALWAYS TALK TO YOU"... and my daughter's words made me realize that no one would ever love me more than my children...

      How can you expect love from a man, when most men don't even love themselves at all, because if men really love themselves they would understand they that have no real value in a woman eyes in thus staying out the way of most women due to his self love and understanding that most men are only tolerated not celebrated. And so if you're only tolerated why would you deal with that if you have self love, But most men obviously don't.

Now that I find out that she had TWO G'S (Missy Elliot, Jasmine Sullivan) singing background makes this song even better. Just reminds me of how artists used to work heavy together and you wouldn't even know. It wasn't about the shine. It was about the song, the music.

    I have been listening to Fantasia’s music 🎶 all week long. It’s amazing how The Most God in Christ will send you what you need at the right time. When these songs originally were released, I was in the throws of try to work through a situation in a very toxic relationship for sake of our children. It took many years to see and learn that I should have left many years ago. Now, I have freed myself from that toxic situationship. I am free to be me, heal, and thrive. I am grateful for Fantasia. She’s a blessing to me.💕🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕

    Missy Elliott & Jazmine Sullivan did excellent on the backup vocals! Ever notice when Missy produces & writes for other artists she never uses her typical futuristic beats. This glorious hit for example and others: Whitney Houston ("Oh Yes"), Mariah Carey ("Babydoll"), Christina Aguilera ("Car Wash"), Angie Stone ("Think Sometimes"), Monica ("Dozen Roses"). Underrated effin' genius! Love Missy!

    Fantasia has probably one of the greatest singing voices of all time. Her music has a way of touching you deep down in your soul. She makes some of the most beautiful songs ever. Unfortunately R&B would never be this good ever again. The early ‘00s was such a great time for R&B music.
