Uh, this is dedicated to all the ladies out there Who's tired of gettin' played, ya know Y'all know what this is (y'all know what this is) So-so def and your girl Mimi (ain't even gotta say it) Thanks for nothin', no, no, baby (yeah) You were just playin' a game (MC) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh) Thanks for nothin' Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (yeah) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (you know the feeling) You were just playing a game
I can't even know what to say I've been hurt, I've been played and I'm so ashamed I can't even cry, it's that deep You just lie and you cheat like it's nothing
See, you said that you loved me, too, and so I trusted you But I guess that subconsciously I knew But I didn't wanna face the truth, that I was only being used And you was just fronting
Aye, boy, thanks for nothing (say what?) I never knew enough about you, babe And I guess I only have myself to blame Now I'm brokenhearted and shattering And you were just playing a game Nothing anyone could do to convince me, babe I was living in a lie, just a masquerade Now I only know that I'll never be the same But you were just playing a game (sing with me)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, uh-huh) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, uh-huh) Thanks for nothin' (uh-huh) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh (uh-huh) You were just playing a game
Everyday and every night, I stay by the phone (uh-huh) Never go no place, so just in case you call, I'll be home (oh) Seem like all I do is think about our pseudo romance While you're somewhere burnin' diesel in the streets havin' laughs
Somebody say you know what I'm goin' through You've been left with nothin' Too much you can't count on one hand Sing it, three, four, five, six Seven days a week, you were drowning in tears He was so insincere Now you're laying up in bed every night singing
Aye, boy, thanks for nothing (yeah) I never knew enough about you, babe (uh-huh) And I guess I only have myself to blame Now I'm brokenhearted and shattering And you were just playing a game No, nothing anyone could do to convince me, babe (yeah) I was living in a lie, just a masquerade Now, I only know that I'll never be the same (I can't even know what to say) But you were just playing a game
