Uh, this is dedicated to all the ladies out there
That’s tired of getting played, you know?
Y’all know what this is (Y’all know what this is)
So So Def (I ain’t even gotta say it)
And your girl, Mimi
Thanx 4 nothin’ (No, no, nothin’)
You were just playing a game (MC)
Thanx 4 nothin’
(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
(“I can’t even know what to say”)
And I’m so ashamed
I can’t even cry, it’s that deep
You just lie and you cheat
Like it’s nothin’ (Nothin’)
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 were just frontin’
Ayy boy, thanx 4 nothin’ (Say what?)
I never knew enough about you, babe
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I’m broken-hearted and shattering
But you were just playing a game
Nothin’ (Nothin’) 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 playin’ a game (Sing with me)
Thanx 4 nothin’
You were just playin’ a game
Every day and every night, I stay by the phone
Never go no place, so just in case you call, I’ll be home
Seems 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 going 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’re drowning in tears
He was so insincere
Now you’re laying up in bed every night singing
Ayy boy, thanx 4 nothin’
I never knew enough about you, babe
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I’m broken-hearted and shattering
But you were just playing a game
No, nothin’ 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
(“I can’t even know what to say”)
But you were just playing a game
So thanx 4 nothin’
You were just frontin’
So thanx 4 nothin’
