Usher - Papers Lyrics

Artist: Usher

Album: Monster

  • Songwriters: Xavier Dotson, Sean Garrett, Alonzo Mathis, Usher Raymond

Oh, oh, oh, papers
Oh, oh, oh, papers

I can't get to work on time
Can't believe the words to her I just said
But who the hell argue and fight like dogs at 6 in the morning?
I know it's gonna be some more sh** tonight

Our pastor's callin', tellin' me I done went too far
And I'm seen around town and my friends can't recognize me
'Cause I took a chance on love
It's like I'm dyin'

For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world
'Cause you were my girl, girl, girl
I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama
I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take, but you leave me no options, girl
I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up everything I had to
As hard as it is, I'm afraid I gotta say

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take, but you leave me no options girl
Oh, oh, oh, papers
Oh, oh, oh, papers

I'm losin' my mind, can't figure out who's wrong or right
I know it's you I love, but then I also know it's you I don't like
You claim you hate who I was, but that's the reason you here now
You think I don't know what's up, but sweetheart that's what ruined us

I ain't afraid to say I got needs but the only time you here for me
Is when the bottles poppin' and everything is sweet
But I, I'm tired of sleeping in the other room spending them long nights
Trying to figure out what in the hell in my heart I ain't do right

For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world
'Cause you were my girl, girl, girl
I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama
I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take, but you leave me no options girl
I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up everything I had to
As hard as it is, I'm afraid I gotta say

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take, but you leave me no options girl
Oh, oh, oh, papers
Oh, oh, oh, papers

Oh, oh, oh, papers
Oh, oh, oh, papers
Ready, ready, ready, ready

All my fellas up in here, if you had enough and you're ready to sign, say
(Ready, ready, ready, ready)
I'm ready, yes I am
All my ladies if you sick and tired, and you're ready to sign, say
(Ready, ready, ready, ready)

I can't keep livin' this life, I said I'm leavin' for the last time I'm
Ready, ready, ready, ready

I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama
I done turned into the man I never thought I'd be
I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take, but you leave me no options girl

I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up everything I had to
As hard as it is I'm afraid I gotta say
I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers
I done took all I can take, but you leave me no options girl

    Love this song!!! :) Usher is back...I am so glad he left that old lady. I knew it wouldn't last but I wish he would have stuck in it a little longer for his son (or sons). Anyway, I must say that Usher is looking REALLY GOOD every since he signed them papers!!! ...but I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE PROMOTING dIVORCE!! (still love the song :)
