[Verse 1]
|
Lately we haven't had a chance to speak
|
Cause you aint really had no time for me
|
Maybe there's somewhere else you'd rather be
|
And I don't understand it at all
|
If I recall I gave you everything
|
But I can't remember one time you sacrificed for me
|
And I'm starting to feel like I'm losing myself
|
So I think that I'll just live with what's left
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Why did you treat me like a girl on the side
|
Why did you have to go and make me cry
|
Boy tell me
|
You could've walked away
|
Rather than cause me pain
|
Baby I aint really need it at all
|
And I cant make you love me
|
So I aint trying that
|
You won't make a fool of me
|
So you can forget that
|
Going out a leading lady
|
How my mama raised me
|
Take the stripes that I've earned lesson learned
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Why did you have to go and lie to me
|
When you were out there running in the streets
|
Well I'm tired of calling your cell phone
|
4 o'clock in the morning
|
You pick it up and all I hear is....
|
If I was too much woman all you had to say was
|
That you wasn't ready
|
And I would've understood
|
Well let me calm down
|
Why should I be mad
|
When honestly it aint nothing you stressing bout
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Why did you treat me like a girl on the side
|
Why did you have to go and make me cry
|
Boy tell me
|
You could've walked away
|
Rather than cause me pain
|
Baby I aint really need it at all
|
And I can't make you love me
|
So I aint trying that
|
You won't make a fool of me
|
So you can forget that
|
Going out a leading lady
|
How my mama raised me
|
Take the stripes that I've earned lesson learned
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Gave so many chances you blew it over again
|
Time and time I wonder why
|
You put me after your friends
|
You couldn't tell me the real
|
Boy do you know how it feels
|
When I call your phone and you don't call back
|
I know you can't be for real uh uh
|
So I packed my bags uh
|
And aint comn back
|
Treat me like I don't know you
|
What part of the game is that
|
Boy I aint turning around
|
This is no place for me to be
|
You never meant enough for me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Why did you treat me like a girl on the side
|
Why did you have to go and make me cry
|
Boy tell me
|
You could've walked away
|
Rather than cause me pain
|
Baby I aint really need it at all
|
And I can't make you love me
|
So I aint trying that
|
You won't make a fool of me
|
So you can forget that
|
Going out a leading lady
|
How my mama raised me
|
Take the stripes that I've earned lesson learned
|
|
Oh I, I learned my lesson [x2]
|
|
I'm leaving you
|
That's what I gotta do
|
You can't make a fool of me
|
|
I'm leaving
|
L-leaving you, u u u u u u u
|
|
Hayyyyy!!!!
