You broke me into pieces
I don′t what to do more
I just thought that i let you go

You want back in my life
I love girl but i just don't know
I don′t wanna be hurt no more
My head keeps telling me no
My heart just says let's go
"Cause boy your fool in love"
And you don't know who to trust

My head keeps telling me no
My heart just says let′s go
"Cause boy your fool in love"
And you don′t know who to trust

"Cause i really know"

What's right, what′s wrong?
(My head keeps telling me no)
What's right, what′s wrong?
(My heart just says let's go)
What′s right, what's wrong?
(Cause boy your fool in love)
What's right!
(And you don′t know who to trust)

"Cause i don′t really know"

I see you way you be lookin at other guys Making me feel like i'm not your type
And i feel you using me and all its a lie
And bitch and i wont be played
Bitch, bitch i wont be blamed
I see you found a rhythm
So I play the same game
I′m trying to worry about these other lans So girl i just don't know?

My head keeps telling me no
My heart just says let′s go
"Cause boy your fool in love"
And you don't know who to trust

My head keeps telling me no
My heart just says lets go
"Cause boy your fool in love"
And you don′t know who to trust

"Cause i really know"

What's right, what's wrong?

And you dont know who to trust

I gave you everything
That a woman needs to be and feel loved
Sorry that i dindn′t give you
Money, coms and cars
I got treated like a star
Guess i wasn't good enough
Guess i wasn′t good enough
Guess i wasn't good enough
Cause you treated me like shit,
And that's a thing you did too much
But girl i feel in love
See girl i feel in love
And now you are the one
That i′m tryin to get rid of
You are the one
That i′m trying to get rid of

My head keeps telling me no
My heart just says let's go
"Cause boy your fool in love"
And you dont know who to trust

My head keeps telling me no
My heart just says let′s go
"Cause boy your fool in love"
And you don't know who to trust

"Cause i really know"

What′s right, what's wrong?
(My head keeps telling me no)
What′s right, what's wrong?
(My heart just says let's go)
What′s right, what′s wrong?
(Cause boy your fool in love)
What's right!
(And you don′t know who to trust)

"Cause i don't really know"

What′s right, what's wrong?

What′s right, what′s wrong?
(Cause boy your fool in love)




What's right!
And you don′t know who to trust
