Trouble From the Start

They told me he was trouble, right from the start
They told me he was out, to break my heart
But did I listen?
What was I missin'?

My Mama told me, I could do better
My Papa told me let him go with a letter
But I was so blind, he was one of a kind
And If I let him go I don't know if he'll be gone forever

My sister told me, you ain't no fool girl
My brother told me, take charge and rule girl
But did I listen?
What was I missin'?

My Grandmother said, let him go to your head an you're doomed girl
He'll just fill you with lies, so be wise and get rid of him soon girl
But I was so blind, he was one of a kind
And if I let him go, I don't know if he'll be gone forever

But did I listen?
What was I missin'?

My Mama told me, I could do better
My Papa told me let him go with a letter
But I was so blind, he was one of a kind
And If I let him go I don't know if he'll be gone forever
