Ex-Factor - Lauryn Hill (lyrics) Lauryn Hill, live in Tokyo, 1999 Yo, y-yo, yo, y-yo Yo, uh, yo, y-yo, yo, y-yo It could all be so simple (ba-ba-ba-baby, baby, baby) But you\u0027d rather make it hard (huh, uh) Loving you is like a battle (it\u0027s like a battle) And we both end up with scars Tell me who I have to be (who I have to be) To get some reciprocity See, no one loves you more than me (more than me) And no one ever will (no one ever will, yeah) Is this just a silly game (silly game) That forces you to act this way? (to act this way) Forces you to scream my name Then pretend that you can\u0027t stay (yeah) Tell me, who I have to be (I know what we gotta do) To get some reciprocity See, no one loves you more than me And no one ever will No matter how I think we grow You always seem to let me know It ain\u0027t working (it ain\u0027t working, no), it ain\u0027t working And when I try to walk away You\u0027d hurt yourself to make me stay This is crazy, this is crazy (oh, this is crazy, uh-huh) I keep letting you back in (you back in) How can I explain myself? (I don\u0027t understand why) As painful as this thing has been I just can\u0027t be with no one else See I know what we\u0027ve got to do (yeah) You let go (you let go), and I\u0027ll let go too (and I\u0027ll let go) \u0027Cause no one\u0027s hurt me more than you And no one ever will No matter how I think we grow You always seem to let me know It ain\u0027t working (it ain\u0027t working), it ain\u0027t working (it ain\u0027t working) And when I try to walk away You\u0027d hurt yourself to make me stay This is crazy (this is crazy), this is crazy (this is crazy) Care for me, care for me I know you care for me (There) There for me, there for me Said you\u0027d be there for me (Cry) Cry for me, cry for me You said you\u0027d die for me (Give) Give to me, give to me Why won\u0027t you live for me?
