[Verse 1: Kelly]
How many times
Are you gonna apologize about the same thing
And how many times can I take you back
When I'm not the one that's doing wrong
(When I'm not the one that's doing wrong, yeah)
I thought maybe if I started praying
That we would get better, but
When I would pray the answer would always come
Back to me, being done
But we are so hard headed when we're in love
So I
[Chorus:]
I told myself that I would make some changes (yeah)
But the more I change there's one thing
that remains the same (remains the same)
I can't seem to shake ya
You seem to really have a hold on me
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up
This can't go on now (no)
I gotta move on now
It's not the fact I don't love you no more
But I gotta break this bad habit
Can't take this bad habit no more
[Verse 2: Kelly]
I'm totally out of my element
Learnin' new ways to live
While you're in a comfort zone
Not even thinking (you couldn't think about me)
To call, and when I get mad you buy me gifts
Thinking it's gonna solve every issue
From the girl calling my phone
To the pictures that I saw
And every time you would break up with me for nothing at all
I've taken all I can take (I've taken all I can take)
But the way I live has gotta change, oh
[Chorus:]
I told myself that I would make some changes
(I told myself that I would)
But the more I change there's one thing
that remains the same (remains the same)
I can't seem to shake ya (ooh shake ya)
You seem to really have a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up (turn it around)
This can't go on now (I can do it no more, baby)
I gotta move on now (no, no, no, no, no)
It's not the fact I don't love you no more (love you no more)
But I gotta break this bad habit (habit)
Can't take his bad habit no more
[Bridge: Kelly]
(Let me break it down)
Have you ever loved somebody
So much that you was just too blind to see
Past, all of the pain they was causing you (causing you)
Ladies do you feel me (do you feel me)
Have you ever loved somebody
So much that you went against the right things that you should do
Then it's time to make a change
So I
[Chorus with ad-libs:]
I told myself that I would make some changes
(Make some changes)
But the more I change there's one thing
that remains the same (baby, it remains the same)
I can't seem to shake ya (I can't shake ya)
You seem to really have a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up (turn that around)
This can't go on now (I can't go on now)
I gotta move on now (no, no, no)
It's not the fact I don't love you no more (love you no more)
But I gotta break this bad habit (habit, baby!)
Can't take his bad habit no more (habit no more)
