Not Today
Eve & Mary J Blige Lyrics

This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies
This is a song to comfort and empower women who have been hurt by men.

Why won't you grow up & be a man someday
Stop acting like a child and start acting like an adult.

I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
I can't believe you haven't grown out of your immaturity.

Now why do I put up w/ all this child's play
Why do I tolerate this behavior from you?

Now if your word is all you have
If you can't keep your promises, then you don't have anything.

Then you ain't worth a damn thing
You are worthless if you can't keep your word.

Promises you told me every day
You said you would do certain things for me, but you didn't follow through.

That you made you never ever kept
You made promises that you didn't keep.

By me I really want to believe
I want to believe that you will keep your promises.

But not today, not today, not today, not today
But not right now, maybe someday in the future.

You're the worst
You are the worst kind of person.

I can't even depend on you
I can't rely on you to do what you say you will.

you say a lot of good things
You make a lot of promises and say all the right things.

But something else you always do
But you never follow through on your promises.

Be a man of your word
Keep your promises and do what you say you will.

Try to love something other than you
Think about others and not just yourself.

But now you can be on your way
You can leave now, I don't want you here anymore.

Cause I don't want you to stay
I don't want you to be in my life anymore.

Promises bout our house
You promised we would have a nice house.

Bout the kids
You promised we would have a good life for our kids.

Lifestyle we would live
You promised we would have a certain lifestyle.

Who the fuck you really is
Who are you really? You're not the person I thought you were.

In my face
You're right in front of me, but I don't trust you.

All the time
You're always around, but you're not reliable.

Spittin' line after line
You're good at saying what I want to hear, but you never follow through.

Broke down my wall and you got in my mind
You manipulated me and got inside my head.

You's a fake shoulda known
You are a fake, and I should have seen through your lies.

All the signs I was wrong
I ignored all the signs that you weren't trustworthy.

Believed what I saw
I believed everything you told me, even though it wasn't true.

And your cover was blown
Your lies have been exposed.

Breakup, leave
We are breaking up and you need to leave my life.

Make up, please
I don't want to make up anymore, just leave me alone.

You's a magician all them tricks up your sleeve
You are like a magician, always having tricks and lies up your sleeve.

Had me for a minute
You had me fooled for a short time.

I was in it
I was involved in a relationship with you.

you played good
You acted like everything was okay when it wasn't.

But I'mma get you
I'm going to get revenge on you for what you've done.

I'mma make moves
I'm going to take control of my life and move on from you.

And I'mma leave you where you at dog, chill
I'm going to leave you where you are, so just relax.

Go back to square one
You need to start over and learn how to be a better person.

Wait for something real
Wait for something genuine and authentic.

Selfish nigga
You are a selfish person.

Could have helped you nigga
I could have helped you, but you didn't want to listen.

Usually know betta but I felt you nigga
I usually know better, but I trusted you.

I guess getting in my head was a part of the plan
Your goal was to manipulate me and get inside my head.

Cause in reality the only thing you giving me is
The only thing you've given me is lies and broken promises.

Don't let him waste your time girl
Don't let him waste your time with his lies.

He's only telling lies girl
He is only telling you things that aren't true.

And when he apologizes (and he will)
When he apologizes (which he probably will), don't believe him.

Don't be believing that man
Don't trust him or believe anything he says.

Cause he gon' do it again
He will keep lying and making promises he won't keep.

Promises you told me every day
You made me promises every day that you never kept.

That you made you never ever kept
You made promises that you didn't fulfill.

By me I really want to believe
I really wanted to believe that you would keep your promises.

But not today, not today, not today, not today
But not right now, maybe in the future.
