You should've known better
Than to try and play me
You should've known better, boy,
You'd never see the day
I'm not gon' let you walk all over me
This ain't no "chick-a-bo-bom-boom"
And you won't catch me slippin'
'Cause once again I'm on the scene
[Verse]
I've been up, down and around,
And been through a lot of pain
I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly
And every shade of fame
I done gave my all, gave my soul
And I won't do it again
For you to say you never thought I'd find somebody new
[Chorus]
You should've known better
Than to try and play me
You should've known better, boy,
You'd never see the day
I'm not gon' let you walk all over me
This ain't no "chick-a-bo-bom-boom"
And you won't catch me slippin'
'Cause once again I'm on the scene
[Bridge]
You thought I was just gon' sit here
With my head down, waitin' for you to come back
You thought I was gon' be sittin' here,
Cryin' and moanin', and feelin' blue
[Chorus]
You should've known better
Than to try and play me
You should've known better, boy,
You'd never see the day
I'm not gon' let you walk all over me
This ain't no "chick-a-bo-bom-boom"
And you won't catch me slippin'
'Cause once again I'm on the scene
[Outro]
I've changed, changed the way I think,
Changed the way I feel
And the changes I've created,
Boy, the changes are for real
So get used to the new
