L-l-l-loving me, you call this loving me?
I must not know what it means, ‘cause this ain’t right.
Have I been over thrown? Is this me on my own?
Is this acceptable? Is this called fine?
I didn’t think that you would ever act this way,
Talkin’ ‘bout forever but it must’ve changed,
My baby, are you thinking straight?
Didn’t really know that it would hit this hard,
Never saw me giving over all my heart,
I’m crazy, you threw it away.
Loving me, he says he’s loving me,
I don’t know what he means but I don’t say.
‘Cause what I’ve seen, would change your mind, you see,
I know where he has been, when I’m away.
And now I’m thinking, oh,
I’m thinking about all the bitter times.
Well, was he listening or no?
Was somebody else on his mind?
Oh, oh, oh no, oh no,
And I don’t really wanna fight.
Oh, oh, oh no, oh no,
I’m more than just an oversight,
For you to pacify.
F-f-f-fuck it all, won’t fight another war,
Won’t let your mind just ignore, what you have done.
I called it real love, I gave all of it up,
You fired all of your guns, but I’m the one?
I can’t believe I let you take all of my prime,
Must’ve played me good ‘cause I can’t leave behind,
Your image, still locked in my mind.
But, babe, I swear one day I’m gonna move right on,
Won’t catch me here waiting to be treated wrong,
So listen, don’t fuck up my vibe.
On repeat, I see it on repeat,
The way you lie to me, right to my face.
Honestly, I don’t know what you mean,
‘Cause this ain’t loving me, it’s such a waste.
And now I’m thinking, oh,
I’m thinking about all the bitter times.
Was he listening or no?
Was somebody else on his mind?
Oh, oh, oh no, oh no,
And I don’t really wanna fight.
Oh, oh, oh no, oh no,
I’m more than just an oversight,
For you to pacify.
You’ll catch me waiting for somebody else,
‘Cause I don’t need it, I don’t need the way you’re treating myself.
Don’t hold up, I know that you got all your lies to tell,
And I’m not feeling how you’re constantly not trying to help.
Oh, you’ll catch me waiting for somebody else.
And now I’m thinking, oh,
I’m thinking about all the bitter times.
Was he listening or no?
Was somebody else on his mind?
Oh, oh, oh no, oh no,
And I don’t really wanna fight.
Oh, oh, oh no, oh no,
I’m more than just an oversight,
For you to pacify.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
For you to pacify.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
For you to pacify.
