Like I Did
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.
Oh you think you found somebody that could treat you (like I did)
Spend their time doin for you (like I did)
And be there when you say I need you (like I did)
Now this I can't believe
Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you (like I did)
Take all this foolishness from you (like I did)
See if she doesn't she will leave you (like I did)
Then don't come runnin' to me
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me
[Chorus:]
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby
Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
I choose to leave
Now when you realize you really had a good thing (like you did)
Then you'll realize you dogged me (like you did)
Wished you never though of cheating (like you did)
Maybe then you'll see
It wasn't cool breaking promises to me (like you did)
Had no reason to deny me (like you did)
Had no shame, you still lied to me (like you did)
Now it's easy to leave
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me
[Chorus]
No matter what you do
Don't care what you say
Gotta get away
I won't be second to no one
I can live with the choice I made
Won't look back, no way
I can make it on my own without you
[Chorus]
