you know, we were friends
I thought we were more than that
but it turns out that
you played me yeh
yo you know that you played me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me, she tried to play me
this girl tried to play me, yeh
yea, I invited her over, tried to get nice and close to her
held her for a moment and told her she was beautiful
I said I got love for ya, she said the feeling's mutual
I could respect that she's got friends, I've got friends and we know yo
were both of our head at, you can bet that I'm not sleepin' around
I know how to take a stand and plant my feet on the ground
when temptation tries to move me
I think about your eyes and your beauty
and what you do to me, truly this is happiness
I couldn't think about leavin' your side, sneakin' behind
I couldn't even fathom it, I want you to trust me, I want you to love me
I want you to place no one above me I want you to hug me,
and I'll hug you back, love me, I'll love you back
told me I was one of a kind
meanwhile there's someone else on your mind
you played me yeh
yo you know that you played me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me, she tried to play me
this girl tried to play me, yeh
yeh, we started datin for a bit
told me that she loves me, but that she hates relationships
I asked why, she said they all end bad
I told her that that dosn't make all men bad
don't blame me for the things the guy before me did to you
I'm here to give you the best, nothin' less and this is true
and the best is yet to come,
you're last man could get you wet but never come
now you've found someone who can get it done
and that's me baby, I got the trees baby
I got the ins and out and whatever you need baby
but I see the way you play me I see the way you use me
I started gettin' suspicious and seen what you were doin'
something felt wrong, yea, something wasn't right
I quickly found out that you were fuckin' with another guy
now you're blowin' up my phone, wish to get me back
but my feelin's died now you're stuck livin' with the fact that
you played me yeh
yo you know that you played me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me, she tried to play me
this girl tried to play me, yeh
yea, I shoulda seen it from the start
that she was ready and willing to rip off a piece of my heart
yea she found a way to keep me in the dark
pain cuts deep, where it used to bleed you see a scar
to remind me why I try and keep my distance now
try and stay afloat, it's either swim or drown
never know how long that these games can go
gettin' played more than hip-hop songs up on the radio
and I got the tony touch she said I'm the only one well
it's nice to know that that ain't true, yea
and it's nice to know the only one for me well, hell that ain't you
now I don't hate you, cause I learned to get over it
I found a new girl, definition what a soldier is
loyal and true and will fight to the death for me
you played me but can't break me you just made me find my everything
you played me yeh
yo you know that you played me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me yeh
yo this girl tried to play me, she tried to play me
this girl tried to play me, yeh
