Busted
I.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day you'll see
Your cheating ways are gonna turn around you
You are busted
You can't be trusted, baby

Last night, I was feeling low
'Cuz of what I heard on the telephone
You said you were staying home
What was I to do?

Is it cool if I come by
But you said, "Don't even try"
I could sense it in your voice
You had things to hide

What do you think you're doing
Playing your games on me
Unfaithful lady
You lost your chance with me

[chorus]
Busted
That's the end
You're never gonna see my face again
There's only one thing left for me to do
And that's to break it up and call it quits with you
Busted
Through and through
Go and have your fun with somebody new
I hope you understand when I say to you
You had your one chance now I'm done with you

You had me in doubt
So I went to the club to check it out
You said you were staying home
But then I saw your face

But to my surprise
I saw you getting freaky with my own eyes
I gave you such a stare
But you didn't see me there

What do you think you're doing
Playing your games on me
Unfaithful lady
You lost your chance with me

[chorus]

You are busted
You can't be trusted, baby
You cheated oh
You are busted
You can't be trusted, baby

One day you'll see that real men don't approve of girls like you
Your cheating ways are gonna turn around on you





[chorus]
