I don't like the way you got me feelin' lately

I'm feelin' like you found someone to replace me
Oh
Do you remember you used to say that you would never walk away
'Cause I remember the time and a place like it was just yesterday, oh

'Cause you think that you can get whatever you want
So you lie and you try to play me say lady
You're cold, you're poison to me
And I know
Do you remember you used to say, that you would never walk away
'Cause I remember the time and a place like it was just yesterday
Baby had me (gone, gone, gone)
But you won't have me (I'm gone, gone, gone)
Say no more 'cause I know what you came for, just wanna play them games, girl
