The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[VERSE 1]
You claimed you love me (no you didn't)
You said you'd care for me (no you didn't)
You said you'd do for me (no you didn't)
You said you'd stay with me (no you didn't)
But did you love me (no you didn't)
And did you hold me (no you didn't)
Try to console me (no you didn't)
Meet any of my needs (no you didn't)
But still I stuck by you (yes I did)
Even when you took me through (yes I did)
Always respected you (yes I did)
Called you my baby boo (yes I did)
Did I protect you (yes I did)
When they were after you (yes I did)
Gave my all to you (yes I did)
Turned my back on those for you (yes I did)
[CHORUS]
Baby (yes I really did)
I thought that we could be (yes I really did)
But you made a fool of me (yes you really did)
And I cannot believe (can't believe I did)
I thought you were mine (yes I really did)
But you made a fool of me (yes you really did)
And I cannot believe (can't believe I did)
Thought were you mine
[repeat]
[VERSE 2]
You proved your love for me (no you didn't)
Took care of all my needs (no you didn't)
You fulfilled my every dream (no you didn't)
Gave me your everything (no you didn't)
Kept the promises made (no you didn't)
Even said you'd stay (no you didn't)
Gave my heart to you (yes I did)
'Cause I thought love was true (yes I did)
Always felt that we (yes I did)
Would love endlessly (yes I did)
I gave you the best of me (yes I did)
I gave you all of me (yes I did)
With all the hopes that you (yes I did)
Would give a love so true (yes I did)
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
It's not like you cared 'bout me
Seems like I didn't mean a thing
Should have been convinced to leave
But I told you I'm here for you
I should've left you
Then you started playin' me
Didn't know that I would leave
You pushed me so far,
Made me give up on you
I don't want you
[CHORUS out]
