[Intro]
Darkchild, Mary

[Verse 1]
'Cause the sex was good, you had my mind
And I let you come back every time
You would violate and cross the line
And you knew that I would be the type to
Always wait so patiently, thinkin'
You was comin' home to me
Well, damn, I never heard the keys
Or felt your taps sayin', "Are you asleep?"
Rewind that
'Cause the sex was good, you had my mind
And I, I let you come back every time
You would violate and cross the line
And you knew that I would be the type to
Always wait so patiently, thinkin'
You was comin' home to me
Well, damn, I never heard the keys
Or felt your taps sayin', "Are you asleep?"

[Chorus]
Don't wanna play house no more
You're so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin' (Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me

[Verse 2]
Time I choose my clothes
Choose my friends, be with my family
They been askin' "Girlfriend, where you been?"
We ain't seen you in weeks
Been chasin' this fool around
Thinkin' he gon' hold me down
I would follow his lead
Thinkin' I would be the one he keep around
When I ain't need it, not your finance
And all that I needed, real commitment
I really couldn't see it, not the real man
You said you would be in this relationship
So many men think (These men)
That all a girl needs (They think)
Is to be sold a dream (A dream)
But I won't fall for it

[Chorus]
Don't wanna play house no more
You're so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin' (Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me

[Bridge]
Don't wanna play house no more
You treat me all wrong, tired of you playin' me
I been lookin' at the front door
This ain't yours so let me come in
Don't wanna play house no more
No more, I'm tired of you playin' me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin'
It's time I do something for me

[Verse 3]
You turned your back, and back I came running
But the simple fact is that you ain't want me
Done enough lying and crying to myself
Nothing left to do but move
What else can I do but leave?
I believed that you would marry me, but now I gotta breeze
I be's with LT when you come to your senses
But then it's too late
That's always how it be
Catch me with the B's on the wheels, Giuseppe's on the hills
Shoulda Marc Jacob Fe Fe bagged me when you had me
Next dude will gladly pick up where you left off
Ice me, wife me, you ain't gonna have me

[Chorus]
Cryin', cryin', cryin' (Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me
Don't wanna play house no more
You're so dumb to think you gon' marry me
(To think that you would marry me)
I got to be out my mind to think
I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin' (Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me
Don't wanna play house no more
You're so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cryin' (Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me, for me, for me

[Outro]
It's time I do something for me, for me, for me

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
