J.Howell- Why You Love Me ft. Dondria (Official Video)

“Why You Love Me” is the second single from J.Howell’s second studio album, Honest. This duet (featuring Dondria) is something we haven’t felt in a while. The belting and blends of their vocals will surely take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Toxicity at it's finest.

Baby you done went too far
baby you done dropped the ball
I gotta get this off my chest
I just wanted you to win
but you about to lose again
lose me again
But i can’t let you walk away
cause I’ll be begging you to stay
Knowing I ain’t gonna change
baby that’s a selfish thing
blame it on my selfish ways
selfish game
Boy it’s hurts to know what’s real
What I give up ain’t good enough
And hurts that you’re still here
All the time you’ve lost
And all the pain I’ve caused
I don’t know why you love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
baby Ion do you right
Lied one too many times
I know you tired of me trying to try
But i love you love you love you
I wanna trust you trust you trust you
But baby it gets hard sometimes
and when I think I’ve made up my mind
You pull me back to you every time
And you say that you done with me
So when i call why you answer me
like why do you entertain me
why would you settle babe
when you know i’m just running game
Boy I need you to hear me out
I’m tired of going on about it
And I know I could do without ya
But I don’t wanna be without you
boy it’s hurts to know what’s real (what’s real)
what i give up (I give up)
ain’t good enough (good enough)
and hurts for me to feel
that this ain’t love
but i won’t give up
And I don’t know why you love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
When baby Ion do you right
Lied one too many times
I know you tired of me trying to try
But i love you love you love you (I love you baby)
I wanna trust you trust you trust you
But baby it gets hard sometimes
when I think I’ve made up my mind
You pull me back to you every time
Oh sometimes
I did some things I shouldn’t do
Making promises so I can just hold on to you
Don’t wanna lose you
And I don’t know why
I keep on letting you inside my heart again
Trust me baby this is different give me one more chance
But I don’t know why I
I don’t know why you love
I don’t know why you love
I don’t know why you love
I don’t know why you love
Love love love
Love love love

They are better off not Bc a Hollywood is a dark, sick and twisted road and unless they want to sell their souls for some Dane they are better off sharing their talent with those of us who can appreciate their gifts.

[@clientrelations113]

THIS IS SO DEEP! THE MISUSE OF LOVE WILL KEEP YOU TIED INTO SOMEONE AND UNABLE TO BREAK AWAY EVEN THROUGH HEARTACHE, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND PAIN!! A TOXIC SOUL TIE THAT KEEPS YOU IN A REPEATED CYCLE OF BROKENNESS UNTIL SOMEONE DECIDES TO BREAK FREE FOR GOOD!

[@tanyafreeman9068]

Omg this here hit me dead in the center of my soul. Going through this with my kids father was married 20 yrs 4 kids n had to finally let go. Hurt like hell but it was slowly killing me

[@clientrelations113]

@tanyafreeman9068 I pray that the Lord will heal your hurt, pain, disappointment, and brokenness and renew you. May new wine be poured into you as you become whole again. May you be refreshed and revitalize to Love again and to be Loved Unconditionally. May the Lord give your husband a revival in his heart and mind to produce repentance, forgiveness, change, and transformation. May the Lord's Will be done in both of your lives. May Reconciliation and Restoration of Love, Honor, and Respect be your portion, in Jesus name!

[@dywanacunningham1960]

This song is a head banger for those who are deeply in LOVE & DON’T WANT TO LET GO! R&B is sometimes a way to express ourselves especially if Life gets the best of us. We need that motivational speaker to push us to where we need to be. Mental illness is serious especially if it’s hard to get over someone you really LOVE 🖤 THIS SONG IS SO UNIVERSAL & HITS IN EVERY DIRECTION. I LOVE THIS SONG 👑 KING & QUEEN Y’ALL DESERVE AN EMMY AWARD 🥇

[@naimahthomas1035]

Yes I've experienced this type of one sided love and its frustrating, painful and bad for you. He loved me just not as much as i loved him. When i finally let go it was so freeing and a year later i met the man God made for me 🙏 had i not let go when i did i would've missed my blessing and I Thank God everyday 🙏❤😌✌.
