  • See today
    I'm havin' one of
    Them days were
    I just don't
    Wanna be bothered
    But it seems like
    You can't understand that
    Because it's your way
    Or no way
    But check this out
    It's my way today
    And I'm really, really
    Sick and tired
    Of you steppin' into
    My little box
    When I just don't wanna be bothered, OK?
    So check this out

    I've had my way
    And I've had my share
    Of ups and down
    I've been in trouble
    And I couldn't tell
    My ups from downs
    I've been your baby
    And I don't know why
    It don't seem like
    That no more
    Welcome to
    This new definition
    Of love

    [Chorus]
    It ain't all roses
    Hey
    Flowers and posin'
    Hey
    Said it ain't all candy
    Hey
    This love stuff
    Is demanding
    Hey

    Said it ain't all roses
    Hey
    Flowers and posin'
    Hey
    Said it ain't all candy
    Hey
    This love stuff
    Is demanding
    Hey
    Sometimes I need a hug

    See, you, you just
    You just wanna
    Really, really, really push
    All my buttons
    'Cause you Mr. Right
    And I'm Misses Wrong
    But right now today
    I feel like
    I'm-I'm the one
    Gon' sing this song

    I'm a be Misses Right today
    It's my way or the highway
    But with you
    It's just no, gettin' around that
    I gotta be bumpin' heads
    With you
    What's up with that?
    Listen, see

    I love my man
    And I know my place
    I know my worth
    And I just can't stand
    To see myself
    As I hurt
    It's been a long time
    And I think that
    I can get a little
    More love
    From you
    I know some of y'all
    Go through it to 'cause

    [Chorus]

    Sometimes I just wish
    You just put
    Your arms around me
    When I'm feelin' so
    Sp, so very needy
    But instead you just turn your back
    And say, "Suck it up! "
    Oh, you don't know how I'm feelin' right now
    If you knew how I feel
    On the inside
    You wouldn't say suck it up
    Now what the fuck?
    Cause'

    [Chorus]

    It ain't all roses, you know?
    Everybody ask me how
    Good it is
    It's great
    Love is great
    But when you just
    A mess yourself
    It ain't gon' be all roses
    'Cause you just want your time
    You wanna be selfish
    You know
    You don't want nobody
    Messin' with you
    You just wanna rip
    Somebody head off
    When they step to you with
    "Oh you need some help.
    Oh, you need to figure it out"
    You figure it out!
    You figure it out!
    You go figure it out!
    You suck it up! Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER A. STEWART, MARY J. BLIGE, TERIUS YOUNGDELL NASH
