Breaking Point
Lyrics
Keri Hilson
Every woman, yeah
Every woman
Got a limit yeah
Sing with me girl
Ladies, have you ever had a man who push you when you low
You wanna stay out at night, and don't care how you feel
Instead of manin' up, oh I said ooooooooooooo
I-I can't concentrate, you so petty you
You stay touchin' my last nerve, my friends say what's wrong with you girl
I guess, what I'm really tryna to say is
Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to
And cheated on, and beated on
Somebody know, hey
Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, tell me why we put up with that
You can't forget that, see I done did that
But this time, there's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit...there's a limit, there's a limit)
There's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit...there's a limit, there's a limit)
Now listen here
Now baby, don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge
Today your baby momma called, said she boxin' up yo sh!t (yo sh!t)
When you barely pleasin' me, how you gon take care of yo kids
Now I gotta contemplate, I hate to say it but I wanted your last name
My momma said what's wrong with you girl
Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
(And I'm almost there I swear)
Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to
And cheated on, and beated on
Somebody know, hey
Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, some women let you keep em in check
Constantly disrespect, then show no regret
(Around here honey) there's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit...there's a limit, there's a limit)
There's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit...there's a limit, there's a limit)
Now ladies, we really should be mad at ourselves
Cuz see, some women just tolerate way too damn much
Now I know we gotta choose our battles
But damn it, every woman gotta breaking point
And see the next time he's testin' yo love
You put your finger in his face and you tell him
Say my love has a limit (say my love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit (say my love has a limit)
Said if your love has a limit, girl (said if your love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit, yeah (say my love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit (my love has a limit)
Say my love has a limit (my love has a limit)
Said if your love has a limit, girl
Say my love has a limit now
Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, I know you know, some women can be lied to
And cheated on, and beated on
Somebody know, hey
Every woman has a breaking point y'all (breaking point)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, if you feel me put your hands up
If he ain't man enough, girl if you had enough
Tell him, there's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit...there's a limit, there's a limit)
There's a limit to my love
(There's a limit, there's a limit...there's a limit, there's a limit)
Every woman
Got a limit yeah
Sing with me girl

Song facts
"Breaking Point" is an R&B song performed by American singer Keri Hilson. It was written by Hilson herself and produced by Timbaland. It serves as the lead single from her second studio album, No Boys Allowed. It was released digitally in the United States on September 7, 2010.
The concept of the song itself is about moving on from relationships that are not working and expecting men to step up to the plate and show women more respect and love. Hilson explained "The song is about that breaking point that every woman gets to when the excuses given by boys are no longer accepted. If you're not man enough to step to the plate, then keep it moving".
