Seven whole days and not a word from you
Seven whole nights and I'm just about through
I can't take it, won't take it, can't take it no more
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own, yes, on my own

Darlin, darlin'
You know if you cared antything about love
You woulda been front and center
Oh, lovin' me and touchin' me
Honey, honey
You know if you knew anything about me
You woulda been much more tender
Oooh, squeezin' me, caressin' me

You coulda had about anything you wanted
But you messed it up
Oooh, you had to be tough
You told your friends you had me wrapped around your finger
You were talkin' kinda cocky like you had it goin' on
All the while you knew that things were kinda shaky
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be mistreatin' me
How can we go on?

(Seven whole days and not a word from you.)
Not a single word from you
(Seven whole nights and I'm just about through.)
What's a girl to do?
(I can't take it, won't take it, can't take it no more.)
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own, yes, on my own

Sugar, sugar
You know if you knew anything about sweet
You woulda kept talkin' to me
Oh, every day, seven days a week
Baby, baby
You shoulda been givin' me a little more time
But you were just much too busy
Oh, abusin' me and usin' me

I woulda done about anything you wanted
I was there for you
I was crazy 'bout you
While I was sittin' thinkin' I was kinda special
You were runnin' 'round hittin' on every other girl in town
How could you love me when you knew you played me funny?
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be mistreatin' me
How can we go on?

Seven whole days and not a word from you
Seven whole days
(Seven whole nights and I'm just about through.)
What's a girl to do? Ooooooooh
(I can't take it, won't take it, can't take it no more.)
Oooh, oooh, oooh. (I had about enough of you.)
I'd rather be on my own, yes, on my own
Seven whole days. Oh
(Seven whole days and not a word from you.)
And seven whole nights. (Seven whole nights)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (and I'm just about through.)
Tell me what you want, what you want me to do
(I can't take it, won't take it, can't take it no more.)
I-I-I-I can't take it no more
(I'd rather be on my own,) Rather be on my own now
(yes, on my own.)

Deep in my heart, you were number one to start
But then you changed, you threw my heart away
Told your friend that you were runnin' things
Why'd it have to be that way?
You're wrong, dead wrong
Tell me how, how can we go on?

(Seven whole days {Seven whole days} and not a word from you.)
(Seven whole nights) Whoo!
({Seven whole nights} and I'm just about through.)
If you'd cared anything about me
(I can't take it, won't take it, can't take it no more.)
You woulda been here lovin' me (I had about enough of you.)
Seven days, seven days a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'd rather be on my own, yes, on my own.)
Seven whole days. (Seven whole days {Seven whole days} and not a word from you.)
Seven whole nights. (Seven whole nights {Seven whole nights} and I'm just about through.)
What do you want me...(I can't take it, won't take it, can't take it no more.)
(I had about enough of you.)
To do? (I'd rather be on my own, yes, on my own.)

Seven whole days
Seven whole nights
What am I to do? Oooooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Yeah, eeeeeeeee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
Yeah, eeeeeeeee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee. eee, eee, eee
Seven whole days
Seven whole nights

Toni Braxton

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.
