Don'T Play With Me

Lonely nights, I was there for you
Hard times, I was there for you
Oh, you told me things that I never knew
And now you're doin' things I never do, oh

Something told me
I'ma have to take it to the old me
Oh, if you want me, then show me
But please don't play with me
Please don't play with me, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Asking what I mean by that
I know that she needed that
But what she feeling, she ain't get it from the new girl she had
So that's when I get the feeling that she might be coming back
I can't help but let her in, even back then we too attached

She knew detached was my type
Stuck in a war, fight or flight?
Took my chances, rolled the dice
She giving the darkness some light

Love how she holding on tight
Throw my heart away and hide
This is the one chapter
I wish I could go back and rewrite

And unfortunately, that's just our story
If we ain't married by the time that we hit 40
I just wanna know if you'll still wait out for me
Tell me baby, would you still wait out for me? Eh

Lonely nights, I was there for you
Hard times, I was there for you
Oh, you told me things that I never knew
Now you're doing things I never do, oh

Something told me
I'ma have to take it to the old me
Oh, if you want me, then show me
But please don't play with me
Please don't play with me, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Take some time and let it breathe
She hit me up, I let it be
There's still this selfish part of me, wanna call to self appease
Up all night wondering if our hearts still have a yes for me
'Cause I know though you deny it, I'm the mistake you repeat

She playing house with someone who will never feel like home
Holding back, knowing gotta let go, let her move on
I still feel that I should step up, so high till we're done
Searching in the wrong places for the things that we want

She's running like she's fine, but I know that she ain't
Drowned in a bottle of red wine, washing down the days
I know you're searching for me, in her search, I replace
Something you will never find but will be worth the wait

Lonely nights, I was there for you
Hard times, I was there for you
Oh, you told me things that I never knew
Now you're doing things I never do, oh

Something told me
I'ma have to take it to the old me
Oh, if you want me, then show me
But please don't play with me (don't play with me)
Please don't play with me, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
(Please don't play with me)
