ROLLED
Joey Lawrence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They shock you
Why did you do it, baby?
What we've been through
I guess meant nothing at all to you
Say, why did you do this to me?

I want to scream and shout
Take my head and flush you out
Just want to ask you why you lied
While I tried to give you everything in sight

Flew you all around the world
Gave you awesome clothes
Then you rolled me
My friends told me
But I'm on a mission
Opened up and gave my heart
Thought we for sure
Then you rolled me
Were so cold to me
And I can't believe that
Now-now-now You-you-you
Are with him, yeah, on a whim, yeah
Couldn't foresee that you-you-you
Would-would-would ever do this
Put me through this
You rolled me, baby

Now that you're gone
I hope the pain will go away
Gotta find my way right through it
I'm trying hard to keep me sane everyday
I'm gonna make it through this
Too good to let you change
That way our love will stay the same
Just make sure next time
I'm waiting while he decides
And think twice before I close my eyes

Repeat I'm trying hard to forget all those good times we had
It's so damn sad, and baby
You are just a shadow of what I thought you were
Oh God it hurts
And I hate that I opened up and let you in
You cut me deep into my skin




Just hard to take that I'll never know
Why you played me so damn bad baby
