Ohhh
Chapter 1 tell 'em how the story goes
Every little thing that you said was true
But it wasn't meant to be
'Cause every little thing that you promised me
Wasn't honestly what you said would be, yeah
And I swear you'll never learn
So I'm giving you what you deserve
What you deserve
[Chorus]
You've been living in a fantasy
If you think that you could be with me
You tried, denied.
And now you've got to move on babe
Took a chance when you rolled the dice
Messed around, but you didn't think twice
What's done is done. I want you outta my life
Every time the phone rings, it's in your eyes
That you wear a disguise, oh who could it be
Who could it be?
How you think you can just take me back
But I'll never go back
To where we used to be
And you said you've changed 'cause you cried
But it's time for me to draw the line
Time for me to draw the line
[Chorus]
Ohhhh
I want you out of my life
Ohhhh
Riprock A.G.
BnG
I want you out of my life
[Chorus x2]
The song "Messed Around" by Boyz 'N' Girlz is about a past relationship that did not work out. The lyrics speak of someone who promised things that they were not able to deliver, and the singer's decision to move on from this person. The chorus emphasizes the idea that the person who messed around should not anticipate a chance to be with the singer again. In the verses, the singer talks about how the person tried to reach out, but they have moved on and do not want to give them another chance.
The song also highlights the importance of trusting one's instincts and not ignoring red flags. The singer believed in the person and thought that they were honest, but they were not. The phone ringing represents a chance for the person to get back in touch, but the singer can see through their disguise and knows that they cannot go back to the way things used to be. The singer draws the line and is firm in their decision to move on from the toxic relationship.

@SayJayLuvsKittens
I remember when this group opened for another group called Sould Decision at a concert I went to. So many memories and this song is still one of my favorites!
@musiclover_kb4913
Yo this track is funky, I love it. Another example of how much better groups were back then. Anyway, the total access to Britney Spears and Aaron Carter brought me here. I saw that video last night, and they showed a bit of this group as an opening act for Aaron. This song is so cool, I dig it.
@maryammure5151
Not alot of people know this but this song was written and produced by JC from nsync. And this group Boyz n girls United opened up for britney and nsync and their manager was Johnny wright same to britney and nsync as well. Small world after all lol. Damn I loved this song 😍
@bfnfamily

@nerdguru86
Omg... Nostalgia
@iceblingice
This Starts off Vocally Just Like Nsync's 'You Got It" Go Check it Out!!
@booginas
Well, they had the same management & producers as N'Sync. In fact, JC Chasez wrote a song or 2 for their album. So that's where the familiarity comes in.
