[Verse 1: Q]
You always said you loved me
Though my mind right now's not sure
You always were there for me
Though my heart never feels secure
Why can't you take the first step
To let me know you really care
'Cause now I'm feeling driven
Into a love that's not right there

[Chorus]
Why do you make me feel this way
Feeling betrayed feeling pushed away
Why do you make me feel so bad
Feeling so hurt feeling so sad
What have I done to make you turn
Feeling so lost I'm feeling so burned
If you really cared you'd make a change
So I can feel the pleasures and not the pain

[Verse 2: Daron]
After all I've said
You still have it set in your head
That you don't really care about me
Why can't you seem to believe
That I'm the only one for you
I gave all my love to you, oooh
And after all I've done for you
You never seemed to love me the way that I love you

[Chorus]
Why do you make me feel this way
Feeling betrayed feeling pushed away
Why do you make me feel so bad
Feeling so hurt feeling so sad
What have I done to make you turn
Feeling so lost I'm feeling so burned
If you really cared you'd make a change
So I can feel the pleasures and not the pain

[Bridge: Slim]
Baby, can you feel me
It hurts so bad
It hurts so bad
I just can't take it no more, baby
Girl, make a change
So I can feel the pleasures and not the pain

[Chorus]
Why do you make me feel this way
Feeling betrayed feeling pushed away
Why do you make me feel so bad
Feeling so hurt feeling so sad
What have I done to make you turn
Feeling so lost I'm feeling so burned
If you really cared you'd make a change
So I can feel the pleasures and not the pain

112 is a Grammy-winning R&B quartet from Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of Marvin “Slim” Scandrick, Quinnes “Q” Parker, Daron Jones, and Michael Keith. They released their self-titled debut album on Bad Boy Entertainment in 1996, which featured the hits “Cupid” and “Only You” with The Notorious B.I.G. and the remix also featuring Ma$e. In 1997, they joined Puff Daddy and Faith Evans on “I’ll Be Missing You,” the tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. for which they won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The single also topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 weeks.

They would release two more albums on Bad Boy—Room 112 (1998) featuring the hit single “Anywhere” and Part III (2001) featuring the hits “It’s Over Now,” “Peaches & Cream,” and “Dance With Me.” They joined Def Jam’s R&B imprint Def Soul for their fourth album Hot & Wet (2003)—a joint venture with Bad Boy—and Pleasure & Pain (2005). The group split to release solo projects before coming back to release Q, Mike, Slim, Daron in 2017.
