You played me for a fool you took me for a ride I am not the one who will keep you close beside I was a diamond in the rough Now I'm scratches on a pearl You could've had me shining You could've had this girl
But you played me and deceived me You played me for my money Played me for a good time Baby chased me when I was running
I don't want to say it but you probably gonna say it too How you played me for a fool how you broke a simple rule And I fell for your deception I fell for your good looks I fell for your sweet charm But I should't have read those books
Hey yeah hey yeah hey yeah...
Never mess with matches cause you know you'll get burnt You beat me once too easy but you know it won't be twice I could've set your night alright But you never played me right Boy you need direction to handle my affection
I don't want to say it (x4)
I don't wanna say it but you probably gonna say it too How you played me for a fool How you broke a simple rule (x2)
I fell for your deception I fell for your good looks I fell for your sweet charm But I should't have read those books
