Love Is Not A Game
J-Light Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

True colors always show so stay solid on yo own
You said you got my back while you was doing niggas wrong
He left you at the crib that's when you always hit my phone
But when I ask about it always said you was alone
But you ain't really love me like you say you do
Promised on my life I wouldn't play with you
And I know you didn't ask but I changed for you
And you did a nigga cold but I stayed for you
But you ain't really love me
Pretty girls be so ugly
You say that you don't trust me
But I've been getting money
You tryna play me for a dummy
You so controlling but you know that you don't run me
But You Know Love, Love is a game
Love is a game
And baby that's a shame
But Love is a game
But with you baby girl I don't wanna play
I ain't really play with you
Baby I just wanna spend the day with you
I just wanna lay with you
Run a bag up and get paid with you
You know them other bitches cannot hang with you
But on the realist of the real
You the baddest I done seen
No matter how it goes girl you all about yo green
You had all my respect you let a nigga come between
So that mean that you don't feel how I feel when you're with me
But I ain't even finna trip
That don't even make no sense
How you switch up for a nigga that ain't even getting rich
And you know I'm bout a bag
Put some ice up on yo wrist
And I don't even do that you a different type of bitch
And now I ride solo
Cruising in the foreign down NoHo
But you didn't even know tho
You messing with a nigga on the low low
And now you coming back just like a yo-yo
I used to make you happy
All these bitches wishing they could have me
If I wasn't gucci down you would walk past me
I used to hit it from the back you called me daddy
We used to link up all the time
Use to break yo spine
I was yours and you was mine
We was doing fine
Girl you really out of line
You did me cold and I would always do you right
True colors always show so stay solid on yo own
You said you got my back while you was doing niggas wrong
He left you at the crib that's when you always hit my phone
But when I ask about it always said you was alone
But you ain't really love me like you say you do
Promised on my life I wouldn't play with you
And I know you didn't ask but I changed for you
And you did a nigga cold but I stayed for you
But you ain't really love me
Pretty girls be so ugly
You say that you don't trust me
But I've been getting money
You tryna play me for a dummy
You so controlling but you know that you don't run me
But You Know Love, Love is a game
Love is a game
And baby that's a shame




But Love is a game
But with you baby girl I don't wanna play
