Lonely

To think I'm so naive
How dare you play with me
I gave you heart and soul yeah
Tell me baby please
Oh why you screwin with my head
I don't think you understand
I won't take your.. Uhh.. No more
Don't knock on my door
Not this time because I recognize
I've heard it all before and I, I, I
I think about the times that I wasted
I think about the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I will be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Don't tell me how to feel
Or say that you're for real
My minds made up I'm cool without ya
You got no more appeal
Now this girl don't need no man
Say what she can do or what she can't
Now I live for me
Boy does that make you weep?
Not this time, because I realize
I've heard it all before, and I
I think about the times that I wasted
I think about the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I will be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Think of times you
Made me cry you
Had me so confused
I'm tired of trying
Leave behind this
What's a girl to do
Think of all the times you made me sick
I used to think I couldn't handle it
What you think, I'm just another chick
Must have bit, boy you must have tripped
The way you thinkin when you lost my trust
You had it all and now your left for nothing
Ooh baby now I know you want my touch
And now you're lonely and you still want me
I think about the times that I wasted
I think about the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I will be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
I think about the times that I wasted
I think about the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I will be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
