[Verse 1]
Don’t play that song for me
'Cause it brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
Those days that I spent with you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no! Don’t let 'em play it
(Oh no!)
'Cause it fills up my heart with pain
(It hurts)
So please stop it right away
'Cause I remember just what he said

[Chorus 1]
He said "darling"
(Darling, I love you)
But I know that he lied
(Darling, I need you)
You know that you lied
(Darling, I love you)
Darling, you lied
(You lied) lied
(You lied) you lied
(To me)

[Post-Chorus]
Hey mister, don’t play no more
Don’t play it no more
I can’t stand it
Don’t play it no more
(No more, no more)
No more (I can't stand it)

[Verse 2]
I remember on my first date
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen
I never dreamed he'd be so mean

[Chorus 2]
He told me "darling"
(Darling, I love you)
But, baby, baby, you lied
(Darling, I need you)
Ooh, you lied
(Darling, I love you)
Darling, you lied
(You lied) lied
(You lied) you lied
(To me)

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus 3]
Darling
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied
(Darling, I need you)
Remember you lied
(Darling, I love you)
Darling, you lied
(You lied) lied
(You lied) you lied
(To me)

[Hook]
Don't play it no more
No, baby
Don't play it no more
Don't do it
Don't play it no more
(No more, no more)
'Cause I can't stand it no more

[Outro]
Thank you

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
