Monica - Why Her? Lyrics






[Monica: ab-libbing]

[Verse 1:]
My last tear just fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wasn't going to cry no more
(you did what you did, it is what it is) and that's why I walked out the door.
Moved on with my life, but not really
Spent too much time wondering how could you
(you do this to us while we we're in love) I guess I was thinking too much

[Bridge:]
I was thinking that the sex had you locked
You never could get enough cause I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams
And your fears
I wiped your tears
I was there and this is why this is hurting me

[Chorus:]
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth it, to make you put her first and deceive me.
You wanna come back but I gotta know (why her?)
I thought she was all that? Then why you at my door?
(Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answers to my questions)
Why her?

[Verse 2:]
This going to be the last time we say goodbye
Ain't going to be no reruns of this episode
(you did what you did, it is what it is) Maybe if you would of told me
You weren't happy, you weren't satisfied
We could of worked it out
Maybe we could of tried
(but you didn't say nothing) All of alone fakin' it in front of me. Why?

[Bridge:]
I was thinking that the sex had you locked
You never could get enough but you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams
And your fears
I wiped your tears
I was there and it hurts me

[Chorus:]
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth it, to make you put her first and deceive me.
You wanna come back but I gotta know (why her?)
I thought she was all that? Then why you at my door?
(Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answers to my questions)
Why her?

[Monica: talking while ab-libbing in the background]

Now ladies, you all know I speak from experience right?
I used to look at him and wonder why.
Why her?
You know what I'm saying?
But ladies, I learn not to worry about them living a happily ever after
Because that shit just build on a lie
So it's sure to fall
That's why I stand tall (baby, baby, baby)
I just looked at him and said this right here

[Chorus:]
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth, to make you put her first and deceive me.
The grass looks greener on the other side
But I promise you'll be back tonight
Now look at you, look at us, whats all this for, hope you got the answer to my questions
Why her?

    Men can relate to this to we get cheated on just as much as women

  33. L.... G....

    Why her? That really hurt I thought we were better than that but I guess not. You got her involved in our marriage 15yrs. She was worth being around your family, in our home, around our dogs, in our car, and most worst of all your face and dick in her..THAT HURTS... and on top of this I never done anything to any of yall. This broke me. I CANT BOUNCE BACK THIS PAIN RUNS DEEP.
    I am your wife, I was put out of our home. Lost my job, went to jail over a lie, lost my car lost everything. I found me now i could not understand for a long time why? Now Im not trying to figure it out. I headed to divorce court. THIS IS NOT WORTH MY SANITY. I GOTTA GO. KEEP HER #whyher(LindaDeniseMcgill#10/30)

    You wanna come back but I gotta know

  35. T.... P....

    Why her?? I thought this so many times. Thought everything was good. Was hurt at first but used that pain to get in the gym and get my sexy back. Truth was i let myself go. Stopped caring about myself and was SO focused on keeping him. All the while letting myself go. So him dropping me was the best thing. He dropped me and i dropped 20 pounds , got my sexy back, started taking care if myself, got a better looking guy, all with a new found confidence and knowing ive got to take care of me first.

    T.... P....

    The P 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  36. K.... P....

    June 2019...I do remember 🔥🔥🔥

  37. M.... H....

    Why her No why me. The beating the hospital all from him and i was his Bonnie 10 years and 3 kids later his wife, his prayer warrior, his faithful queen that loved unconditionally and for what to be in a wheel chair NO Hell No!

  38. N.... D....

    I love this song omgggggg

  39. L.... B....

    This songs makes me stop being emotional my sons father walked out on me 6 months pregnant once we found out that our son will live with some type of retardation , second baby daddy an 3rd child , it hurts me so much cause I thought of him being so much better than he shows . But nothing lasts forever .

  40. M.... W....

    Im still listening to this jn 2019... i had a baby by a guy but it was only supposed to be a 1 night stand and it turned into a family and im having the hardest time with him and other girls .. at first we were so happy and then one day everything turned sour. If he only knew how much love i have for him... this hurts so bad

    M.... W....

    Why them????

  41. M.... C....

  49. r.... m....

    I don't think the men that go that route even know WHY? themselves but surely one day ANYTHING built on lies will fall and the comfort in ending is knowing he will miss you when ur TRULY gone and one man's trash is a BETTER man's treasure!

  50. D.... M....

    This whole CD got me through a very bad breakup back in 2006. I'm still bumping it 13yrs later in 2019. I promise this song was my life, almost like she was right there with me and put it in a song. #MYSHIT #HERBESTCDYET

  66. M.... T....

    After 10 years, I cheated on my girlfriend and she played this for me everyday after that, until she just finally left me. And I miss her sooo much but I am moving on. But fellas don't do it.

  67. T.... G....

    Idk but as women we always want know why her? But then in time we learned the answer or the reason hold no vaule.

  68. S.... K....

    This song got me through some of the darkest moment's of my life and I had to learn that men only do what we as women allow them to do to us spread your wing's

    S.... K....

    Soncherae Knox 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  69. M.... D....

    Eric why her

  70. F.... B....

    Everything men does have purpose. Tho misunderstood by many, all a brother really want is that real love. Once heard players don't fall in love but after aging quite well, I can tell you that's all act and show!!! To all you women, he won't respect you nor won't you be that one in his life until he see a woman; the woman he know he needs!!!! Discipline that boy and eventually you'll have the man u see in him. Coming from a real man. Didn't really know this until after hurting so many. Now I understand

  71. D.... M....

    This song touch my heart and it will all way will 😍💗💙😗😘💚💯

    This album came out when I was 11, most 11 year old white boys were listening to punk rock bands or top 40, but I layed in my room all day bumping this album & JoJo's 'The High Road', pretending like I could relate to the lyrics lmao. I was actually mad at the mf in this song, i felt that shit lol

  93. D.... M....

    Why her ?

  94. A.... Q....

    I can so relate to this song, A lot of men cheat on good women who will love them unconditionally! Love hurts more than anything . Loyalty means everything!!

  96. H.... C....

  97. L.... W....

    I played this song over , and over again when my child's father walked out on me when I was 9 months pregnant.... I had so much anger, and hate in me. He walked out I went in labor two days later... This is one of the songs that got me threw kept me from doing anything reckless... Songs become an emotional way out for ppl.. I'm glad I could cry, and sing my eyes out it was raining on me , but then the sun came out... it was truly bright after that storm...

    L.... W....
