Ooh
Ooh-whoa
Whoa
Last time, you took me back but
This time, I guessed I messed up
She told me: Nice try
I know I can't hide the truth, no
Last time, you took me back but (yeah)
This time, I guessed I messed up
She told me: Nice try
I know I can't hide the truth, oo-oo-ooh
We can play for keeps
But you won't keep what you don't need
But you can take it or leave it, huh
You can take me or leave it
Been through it one time, there won't be a next time
Whatever it takes for me to get you to open up
Why did I let you close enough? Enough
Been through it once time, there won't be a next time
Whatever it takes for me to get you to open up
Why did I let you close enough? Enough
Last time, you took me back but
This time, I guessed I messed up
She told me: Nice try
I know I can't hide the truth, no
Last time, you took me back but (yeah)
This time, I guessed I messed up
She told me: Nice try
I know I can't hide the truth, oo-oo-ooh
Last mile, my bae
We gon' go anywhere, get in this lane
Girl, you got it
It's all about you, about you
Baby, oh
Been through it one time, there won't be a next time
Whatever it takes for me to get you to open up
Why did I let you close enough? Enough (ooh)
Been through it once time (yeah), there won't be a next time (ow)
Whatever it takes for me to get you to open up
Why did I let you close enough? Enough
Last time, you took me back but
This time, I guessed I messed up (oh)
She told me: Nice try
I know I can't hide the truth, no (no)
Last time, you took me back but (yeah)
This time, I guessed I messed up
She told me: Nice try
I know I can't hide the truth, oo-oo-ooh
