Starting With You

Are you ready?
 Are you ready?
 Look at you
 Look at you
 Different day but same damn bags
 You're on my porch
 And I don't even have to ask
 I see tears in your eyes
 As you come inside and breakdown
 So what's he done
 And I hope this don't take long
 'Cause you know one call from him
 And you'll be home before morn
 Here's a friendly hug
 Followed by tough love
 Are you ready?
 He's only gonna treat you
 The way he knows he can
 It's all up to you my sista
 To show him that he can't
 Have you had enough
 'Cause it's been long enough
 Time for a change
 Starting with you
 No, don't say a word
 Listen to Deborah for once
 'Cause I went through the same thing
 So I'll tell you what needs to be done
 Mavis said it best
 Girl respect yourself
 It starts with you
 You
 He's only gonna treat you
 The way he knows he can
 It's all up to you my sista
 To show him that he can't
 Have you had enough
 'Cause it's been long enough
 Time for a change
 Starting with you
 You want him to be a better man
 And you want him to treat you better than
 You treat yourself
 Girl you can help by showing him how he can
 You can start by building your self esteem
 Start believing you can do anything
 And you'll find your man will fall in line
 And if he don't than leave him behind
 Are you ready?
 Are you ready?
 Starts with you
 Oh you
 It's inside you, girl
 Starts with you
