[Verse 1]
Baby, I've been thinking
Been in this thing too long
I wanna be through
I'm sick and tired of you
And lately I've been thinking
Just because your money's strong
Don't mean you can do
The things that you do

[Chorus]
Just so you know I did everything
In case you don't, let me tell you this
I'm tired of spending all my time
And waiting on your dime
And get lovin' half the time
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you

[Verse 2]
Baby, I've been thinking
How you've treated me so wrong
I put up with you
And that ain't gon' do
And baby I've been thinking
That I'm better off alone
It's long overdue
I won't be the fool

[Chorus]
Just so you know, I did everything
In case you don't, let me tell you this
I'm tired of spending all my time
And waiting on your dime
And get lovin' half the time
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you

[Bridge]
I gave you chances
Too many chances
But you went too far
You went and broke my heart

I gave you chances
Too many chances
But you went too far
You went and broke my heart (Broke my heart, broke my...)

[Chorus]
Ooh, I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you
I'd rather be broke than with you, you, you

[Outro]
I gave you chances
Too many chances
But you went too far
You went and broke my heart

Toni Braxton (born on October 7, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, record producer, actress, and philanthropist, and has been active since 1989. She is best known for her single “Unbreak My Heart” and her second album Secrets. Braxton was discovered early by William E. Pettaway Jr., who helped her launch her career.

Braxton first started performing with her four sisters in a family band titled “The Braxtons” in the late 1980s, successfully attracting the attention of Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, who were co-artists Braxton’s songs, including her signature song, Un-Break My Heart.

L.A. Reid and Babyface brought Braxton in as a substitution and had her record a demo of “Love Shoulda Brought You Home”. The song made it onto the soundtrack of the movie Boomerang, giving her early success and recognition. Braxton started recording her solo debut album at LaFace Records on July 13, 1993, quickly gaining popularity as it peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart. Braxton’s debut album has won her several awards, including three Grammy Awards. Her debut album also won her two American Music Awards.
