VERSE 1:

Ohh ohh
She wasn't faithful to u
I held it down and stayed you true
U always runnin around
With them scalliwags in town
I held it down for u
I stayed oh so true
She wasn't faithful to u
Now u out here singing the blues

I stood by your side
And you steady played around
I told you all the time
I would always hold you down
But You ( Played Me )
You you
Oh but you
You

You played me like a fool
oh oh
oh

You played me like a fool
ohhh oh
oh

You Played me like a fool
A fool
A fool
You played me like a fool
ohh oh

VERSE 2:

Your knocking at my door
I can't take this no more
I know I said I'd fight ( FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT)
But my gloves are worn

You Wanna put back the pieces
Steady begging on your knees
And if you knew better you see it
I'm better with out you
This ain't a game there ain't a restart or no replay
Can't get back to the good ole days

I gotta brand new walk
Brand new talk
Ran into my future like damn let's talk
My aptitude on Wolfgang
Your not in key with my plans
I won't
I won't
I won't
I won't be
A fool
ohh oh
I won't be A fool oh oh
A fool
For u
U played me like a fool
Ohh

no more
no more
no more

You have to learn your lesson the hard way
I finish the track, track don't finish me
