Love is a 4-letter word
That we're all familiar with
But there's a 4-letter word
That I know all too well, and that's
(Pain) pain
This is only the beginning of (Pain) pain
Don't you know you're only winning some (Pain) pain
And it's all because you're sinnin', it's (Pain) pain
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She thinks she's getting a prize
Baby, I can tell by the look in her eyes, ooh-ooh-ooh
She thinks she's makin' me sad
But she will regret it when he treats her so bad
For little does she know, little does she know
That it's only her beginning of
(Pain) Pain
Little girl, you're only winning some (Pain) pain
And there ain't no need pretending, it's (Pain) pain
And it's all because you're sinnin', it's (Pain) pain
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He's been a king on a throne
But this loyal subject has up and gone, ooh-ooh-ooh
He's been the star of the show
But the curtain's down now, not to rise anymore
And little does he know, little does he know
That it's only his beginning of
(Pain) Pain
Little boy, you're only winning some (Pain) pain
And there ain't no need pretending, it's (Pain) pain
And it's all because you're sinnin', it's (Pain) pain
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Said I ain't got no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
(Pain) Pain, no, no
Glad I ain't got you, boy, no more, no more, no sir, no more, no more
(Pain) Pain
(Pain)
You know, I've been doin' some long, hard thinkin' recently
About what really causes break-ups
You ever notice how fast a person tries to pretend
He's gotten over losin' his woman
Or a woman over losin' her man
I don't even like instant coffee
So instant love definitely it will not do, honey
I mean, common sense oughtta tell you
That when you're already down on the ground
You can't pick up nothin' but dirt
At least wait until you get up on your feet
So you could reach for a star
And you ever notice how your supposed-to-be buddies
Help you out of your relationship
Man, if that had been me, I'da been gone
I wouldn't take no mess off no woman
I ain't cookin', I ain't cleanin' up, it's women's work
Yeah, I bet if you just tip up on him some time unexpectedly
You catch that same big mouth man changin' diapers
And doin' anything else he can find for his little hands to do
You see, some men have better sense than others
They save the baby's back for the real deal
You know what I mean
And maybe you just ought to just
Pack up your few little clothes you got
Get your little act together
Try to call the woman up, see if she'll take you back
And try to go on back home
You know, that is if you still can
Little do they know, little do they know
It's only the beginning of
(Pain) Pain
(Pain) Oh, ho, ho, you'll feel the pain
If you keep on living, you're gonna feel the pain
I know you'll feel it
I said (Pain) on my heart you were such a strain, yeah (Pain)
Said you did not wanna see me again
But I bet you will when you get your fill
Bet you will when you get your fill
When you get your fill of pain
Pai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ain (I bet you will, I bet you will)
Didn't know what you had
You thought that I was bad
But now you'll see what you really had in me
When it starts to rain you'll feel the pain
You'll feel, you'll feel, you will feel the pain
I bet you will (I bet you will), I bet you will (I bet you will)
I bet you will (I bet you will), I bet you will (I bet you will)
(Pain) Pain
You'll feel the pain
You'll feel the pain, baby
For all the hurt you caused me
You're gonna pay, baby (I bet you will)
For all the time I lost
You're gonna feel, you're gonna feel the pain
Pai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ain, woah, ooh, oh
You'll feel the pain
For everything you done
You're gonna feel it, baby
You're gonna feel the pain
Pai-ai-ain
Pain
It's only the beginning of (Pain)
It's only the beginning of, it's only the beginning of pain
And it's all because you're sinnin' (Pain)
You're only winning, you're only winning some pain
It's gonna rain, you're gonna feel
You're gonna feel the pain (Pain)
I swear you'll feel it
I bet you will (I bet you will), I bet you will (I bet you will, bet you will)
Feel the pain, feel the pain
You'll feel the pain, baby, baby, baby
You're gonna feel the pain
