[Intro]
Don't trust ya

[Chorus]
I never wanted to feel like this (No)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (Ooh yeah)
It never was that you
And now it's time you knew
I never ever, I do not trust you (No, no)
I never wanted to be like this (No, no)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew
I never ever, I do not trust you

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of sittin' home waiting for the phone to ring
While you're out doing any and everything
And everybody sees how you're playing me
Calling me your girl
But I'm not gonna sit around and take this foolishness
You're acting like you can't see the matters in my head
You better play it cool
Or this game, you'll lose
I'm telling you the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't you try to tell me you've been true to me
When I can plainly see
That in your heart, you're still a cheat
And I know that you're a lovesick
It's not happening
So don't you come to me
Thinking I'll believe, 'cause it won't work for me

[Chorus]
I never wanted to be like this (No)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (No, no)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (Never)
I never ever, I do not trust you (No)
I never wanted to be like this (Be like this)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (Mistakes like this)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (I knew)
I never ever, I do not trust you

[Verse 2]
What makes you think I would sit here and be fool?
If you think that it's true, you don't have a clue
I just could not believe that you're playing me
Boy, what's wrong with you?
Since you're the man, thinking that you could play the game
I think I have to show you that you don't mean a thing
I'm letting you go
So if you didn't know, I am in control

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't you try to tell me you've been true to me
When I can plainly see
That in your heart, you're still a cheat
And I know that you're a lovesick
It's not happening
So don't you come to me
Thinking I'll believe, 'cause it won't work for me

[Chorus]
I never wanted to be like this (Be like this)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (Mistakes like this)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (Never)
I never ever, I do not trust you (So now you know)
I never wanted to be like this (No)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (Oh)
It never was that true (Stay true)
And now it's time you knew (I knew)
I never ever, I do not trust you (Yeah, yeah)
I never wanted to feel like this (No, no, no, no)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (No, no, no, no)
It never was that true (No)
And now it's time you knew
I never ever, I do not trust you (I do not trust you)
I never wanted to be like this (Be like this)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this
(I wanted to work it all out)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (Oh yeah yeah)
I never ever, I do not trust you

[Verse 3]
Baby, did you think that you could play me?
Like I could never know
You could be so shady
Now you're gonna see
You should never spend your time with me
'Cause there's no you and me
We can never be

[Chorus]
I never wanted to be like this (No, no, no)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this
(Mistakes like this, oh no)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (You knew)
I never ever, I do not trust you
I never wanted to be like this (Never wanted to be like this)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this
(Make mistakes like this)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (You knew)
I never ever, I do not trust you
I never wanted to be like this (Never be like this)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (baby)
It never was that true (Stay true)
And now it's time you knew (You knew)
I never ever, I do not trust you (Oh no, never again)
I never wanted to be like this (You and me, baby)
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this (Baby, don't know now)
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew (We can never be no more)
I never ever, I do not trust you (Oh no)
I never wanted to be like this
I never thought you'd make mistakes like this
It never was that true
And now it's time you knew
I never ever, I do not trust you
