Ex-Factor Lyrics

Artist: Lauryn Hill
Album: Ex-Factor

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Hook:
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin'
It ain't workin'
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy

I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

Repeat Hook

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me

There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me
(Repeat)

thanks lauryn so much this song truly speaks to me. i am goin through a situation like this right and just by listening to this song i am learning that everything will work out for the best.

so much depth and truth to this song! Lauryn must be busy with her four kids and her fifth on the way even though it would be nice for her to continue singing. Her songs will live on forever and we should be grateful for the songs she has given to us already. Thank you.

by xxcandyxx on 7/29/2009 9:55am
at the moment i am experiencing the hardest things with m man i have ever had i my life and i think this song speaks but ppl get sometimes get too influenced by songs especially wen they r hurting but love does hurt one way or the other and it aint easy its not meant to be easy sometimes letting go isnt the answer

by purple kisses on 9/22/2009 3:10pm
this song is the shit, i sang it at my b-friend's bday party after we broke up and he started crying you know we made back up that night LOL
by Taylor on 9/24/2009 7:51pm
I love this song, its like explains everything i feel....
by Angela on 9/28/2009 1:55pm
it hurts to listen to this song and I can not listen to it without crying to it.
My baby daddy has been in and out of the picture since the day I found out i was pregnant (1 months and i am not 5months) and I keep letting him back in.
& in the end we both do end up with scars and everytime I try to leave and forget he comes back, long enough to be there and then leaves again truly screaming my name.
I listen to song to look for courage and strengh and know that I am not alone in this and me and my little girl will be fine.

Thanks Lauryn!
by C.G. aka Tree on 10/1/2009 12:15am
Lauryn Hill explained my situation completely in this jam...I'll keep it on repeat n bump it outside this fools houze ha ha maybe he'll finally agree that we're meant to b. awwwwww...

by nina on 10/28/2009 10:36pm
This song expresses all the pain you feel when you love somebody so much it just destroys you. I always cry when I hear it because its song about us, me and the men I love even though I know he is not worth it...

A good song, most definite, but when u are trying to get ya ex back and she wants u to hear this song - lets just say its not as good of a song any longer. I just ask all that read this to say a prayer that we can work it out.

by Nanda on 4/26/2010 10:26pm
It's painful that when I read this lyics I realized I need to let go too, because there isn't any reciprocity in my relationship. thanks lauren.
by A-lady on 4/29/2010 3:00pm

by miss invisible on 6/5/2010 12:27pm
this is so true to my life too....

'As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else'

'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will'


aw maaaan why has this happened to me?
by vika roxxx on 6/7/2010 5:31pm
this is legit my jam. through all my relationships i could always relate to the lyrics of this song
by javstel on 6/16/2010 6:28pm
True R&B .... tons of soul in her voice, bur most of all just some heartfelt relatable lyrics...
by Shara on 6/23/2010 7:25am
This song still to this day reminds me of the relationship that I needed to let go of long before I did. You never realize what you put into a relationship and don't get back till you walk away and look back at how things were. I love this song and always will, it speaks to my heart.
by leah on 6/26/2010 7:22am
us women, have to learn to let it go... because men take us for granted one too many times. stand up for yourself, and just dont look back, whether it was his decision or yours... stick with it. best of luck to all women going through heartaches, like myself.
by Destiny on 7/7/2010 1:34am
OMG..! iiknw jus wat she means :(
by Lu on 7/15/2010 5:52pm
i love Lauryn , she writes such great songs, i can relate to his sooooo much. the 'love of my life' broke up with me, we said words that hurt both of us. i still want him,and can't be with no one else, but he seems to have already let go, it really hurts.
by Liz on 7/17/2010 8:20am
I listen to this song since like 2001, every time i listen to it sounds like the very 1st day,I feel you Lauren 100% . I love it.
by &Reality<3 on 7/20/2010 11:00am
This Song Means The World To Me.
by fonzy on 7/26/2010 2:48pm
i can totally relate to this song too. but i'm now on the part where i'm trying to let go. it's just so hard and so painful...
by Daze Dukes on 8/19/2010 11:29am
This song is amazing I can relate to it, brings back soo much memories but that's all that they are now:)
by Princess on 9/6/2010 1:11pm

Why you have to make it so hard when it can be so easy, why can't we just love each other and be happy.
by chicana 69 on 1/15/2011 6:36pm
this damn song makes me cry everytime!!
by trey on 1/17/2011 10:23am
why do you hurt your self so i wont let go why when im happy you wanna come back its not far too me when you hurt me at the end maybe i should give you another chance but why when you do it once you might just do it again i cant keep hurtin her like shes nothing shes a good women never hurt me bf but im confused i cant even lie lost in this thought for ever til i make the right choice
by Nerd Hassan on 3/27/2011 6:25pm
What's truly painful is that I listen to song and I feel like my girl singing this to me. It hurts when you know your the bad guy... Really hurts :(
by Jam Dunc on 4/16/2011 3:09pm
absolutely love Lsuryn Hill wished music was still like this now'adays :p ugh lyrics just speak to your heart and make you think <3
by Mandy Rose on 5/13/2011 1:26pm
LOVE this song...Ive always been a beat/melody person over lyrics, but Lauryn Hills has a way of MAKING me here the message in the song. Makes me cry to listen to this song, and I'm in a GREAT relationship!
by Kay on 5/19/2011 10:43pm
Everything this song says just hits me right to the heart. I may be young but I feel these lyrics, you go Lauryn!
by lauryn on 6/9/2011 8:13am
i love this song to the fullest
by Shana on 6/16/2011 10:35am
I have loved and listened to this song since it came out. I absolutely love this song and Lauryn. SOOO true. 'It could all be so simple but who do I have to be to get some reciprocity'. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm still holding on
by BabyDaddy on 6/29/2011 1:51pm
Well, as the guy who lost his wife, I feel this song too. Everytime I think about her, I think about this song. Still not over her, after all this time. This song brings me to tears and painful memories knowing what we had could've been salvaged, but she just didn't want it. Now she's free and wild and I'm alone and miserable. Don't let anyone tell you different, women bounce back faster.
by The One That Your Going To Lose on 7/11/2011 11:19pm
I gave you a warning shot. I meant every word of it.

This SONG is what you call R&B. LOVE IT!!! The true meaning of a song writer.
by A.H on 8/23/2011 10:48pm
This song healed me from the ending of a really intense four year relationship. This is one of few CDs that I've listened and loved each and every song. You're amazing Lauren Hill !!!!!!!!!!!!
by AbFab on 9/7/2011 7:10am
Why is so difficult to understand that love is supposed to win over all? And why we keep making love loose against our fears?
by Fifi South Africa on 10/3/2011 3:34pm
Its 2011 and love is still as difficult as when you were wrote this song Lauryn! "As painful as this thing has been, I just can't be with no one else" .."No loves you more than me, and no one ever will".. No one's hurt me more than you and no one ever will.. We were supposed to get married! I'm not ready to let it go.. I'm not ready to let you go.. Love isn't love without you Mabunda!
by *Khadija* on 10/31/2011 8:58am

by Liiii on 2/22/2012 4:47pm
"See I know what we got to do you let go and I'll let go too cause no one's hurt me more than you and no one ever will"

simple solution; but everyone is blinded by hope that things will chnge and fear of change

by Michelle Perez on 4/12/2013 3:06pm
Hmmmmm this song is so inspirational - its like trying to let go and when you see that one person - he makes you wanna stay...and you know to yourself it just ain't working,,,noooo - and you keep letting them back in? its crazy??? Lauryn you are the best!!
by babikaks on 12/26/2013 11:32pm
4 the 1st time, I listened & realized I knew what 2 do all along. I must've listened 2 this song a billion times between when it 1st came out to now. 2nite I understand every word n this song. Turned 30 this year & have changed the most significantly this 1 year than n my whole life.; 14yrs of ups & downs; 3 kids; no ring tho... maybe it's time 2 let go...
by babikaks on 12/26/2013 11:50pm
U were right when u said u have been this way since I've known u. & I know better than 2 think I can change a person but am I not worthy of your wanting 2 change n2 sum1 better?! & besides, I've changed since 16, it's called growing up. The lack of positive & mutual growth ruins a relationship

I have observed that in the world these days, video games include the latest popularity with kids of all ages. Periodically it may be extremely hard to drag the kids away from the games. If you want the best of both worlds, there are plenty of educational games for kids. Great post. kbckaeedecggfdke
