Action speak louder than words

Beat cue: Slow, heavy R&B bassline with a smooth piano loop)

Look... I’m not going to tell you how to love me.

I told you that you were the last person I wanted to make memories with.

But I have had enough disappointments.

Do what you say, and say what you mean.

Because I've been there, and I’ve done that.

It’s time to show up.

I been ten toes down right from the beginning

Thought we were building, I thought we were winning

The compliments and "I love yous," yeah, they sound great

But I don't got years to sit around and wait

Promises you make need to be sooner than later

I'm cutting through the talk like a sharp piece of paper

I gave you my time, put my heart on the line

But your words and your movements just do not align.

'Cause actions speak louder than words ever could

If you want to keep me, then you gotta come good

I am wifey material, holding it down

But I won't play the fool while you're messing around

No, I'm not gonna teach you how to love me right

If we can't be a team, I'm going solo tonight.

I wanted forever, I made that real clear

But I'm losing my patience with every new tear

You say that you're trying, you say that you'll change

But everything stays looking exactly the same

I told you you're the last one I'm making memories with

Don't turn what we have into a ghost or a myth

Step up to the plate, put your pride on the shelf

Or I'll pack up my bags and go shine by myself.

'Cause actions speak louder than words ever could

If you want to keep me, then you gotta come good

I am wifey material, holding it down

But I won't play the fool while you're messing around

No, I'm not gonna teach you how to love me right

If we can't be a team, I'm going solo tonight
