Lyrics

If That's What You Call Love?

You say you love me baby, but I don't think you do
Love ain't just what you say, it's something that you prove
When you around my mama, you pretend to take care of me
But you do me wrong, when there's nobody there to see

Chorus
If that's what you call love baby
What kind of love is that?

When I need you to have my back, you always got something to do
If I need good advice, you turn the conversation to you
You ration your affection, like water in the desert sand
I'm not a piece in your collection, I'm stand up grown ass man

If that's what you call love baby
What kind of love is that?
