I'm not gonna cry, no, not again
So much on my mind, you gotta understand
I ain't got much time for you, so I
Rather be alone, oh, oh
Now you miss you water
What you gonna do? Your well went dry
Was I the one you thought of?
I know you see that pain behind these eyes
Now I know you're caught up
Yeah, I know you're caught up, oh
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
Oh, I'm not gonna die, no, not again
My heart won't survive this pain again
But I'll be alright, yes indeed
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm strong, oh, oh
Now you miss you water
What you gonna do? Your well went dry
Was I the one you thought of?
I know you see that pain behind these eyes
Now I know you're caught up
Yeah, I know you're caught up, oh
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
So what if you did this to me?
Why you set me free
I need a love, part of my soul
Someone who cares for me
Cares for all of my needs
Was blind but now I see
You're not the one
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
