Thank You
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.
It's funny how you think you know someone
Until they pull the switch on you, ooh
You never, ever think they do you wrong
Until one day they flip on ya, hey, hey, ooh
That's the time you know they hurt you bad
Because you know you let your guard down (did it all for you, yeah)
Oh, lord, you know you heard me
You were so unworthy
And you know you didn't deserve me
I was lost but now I'm found
So thank you for showing me who you really are
'Cause up till now, I wouldn't believe
You would go this far
See you tryna hide
What was deep inside but that wasn't you
Oh, but thank you, baby
Really thank you, thank you, baby
'Cause now I know the truth
I must admit you caught me by surprise
When you showed me your true colors, yeah
I can't believe I ever trusted you
Considered you my friend and my lover, woo
I think of how I went so hard for you
Gave my heart to you
Went to war for you
I got scars for you
Would have did time behind bars for you
Thank you, baby, really thank you, baby
'Cause now I finally, now I know the truth
Thank you for showing me who you really are
Oh, 'cause up till now, I wouldn't believe
You would go this far
See you tryna hide
What was deep inside, but that wasn't you
Oh, but thank you, baby
Really thank you, thank you, baby
'Cause now I know the truth
I know they say the truth hurts, but a lie kills
I shoulda known that before, you ain't for real
Mind yourself, oh, I'm so mad
But I thank you, thank you, thank you
When people show you who they are, we should believe them
How could I let it get this far?
I could have seen through
But now I see the light and I'm alright
And I thank you, thank you, thank you
