You told me that my love was so good for you
But when I’m not around there’s always someone new
With all my trust in every little kiss
I can’t believe you played me up like this
All my friends told me
I was not your only
Guess my heart was wrong again
[Chorus:]
How could I be with someone like you
After all of the things that you put me through
How could you lie looking straight in my eyes
Sorry baby not this time
The other night when I was out with my friends
And we were chillin’ at the club when you walked in
Said you were staying home
Here you come and not alone
Tell me what the f*ck is going on
Baby what goes around, always come back around
She’ll be the one to break your heart
[Chorus]
Here I am all alone
Wondering where it all went wrong
Guess my love wasn’t enough to make you stay
Can’t believe you did me wrong
Should’ve known so now I’m gone
All the things I did for you
All the things you put me through
Tellin’ me you want to stay with me
While all along you was playin’ me
But all the games are gonna stop this time
It worked before but not this time
With all my trust in every little kiss
I can’t believe you played me out
[Chorus]
