You
Kelly Clarkson feat. Tamyra Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your way in and boy I know how
You maneuver with your
Your confusion
You tell me that I'm your only
And how bad that you want me
Then why are you so shady
Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you shame me that way
Tell me where, where'd you get the nerve
To even think I'd do you could play me for
[Chorus]
You thought we didn't know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your cover's blown
'Cause we both know now, oh no
You thought you had us both
At your beckon call
But now who's the joke
And look who's laughing now
Now you're trying to use us
Against one another but it won't work
I see right through your game boy
And I know exactly where the blame falls
You, you try to deny all your actions
For once in your life be a real man
At least give me the proper respect of the truth
I already know you did it
Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you treat me that way
Where'd you get the nerve to even think that you
You could play me boy
[Chorus]
Now I see right through you baby
You try to tell me you want me
Can't you just get it through your thick head
'Cause I have seen this game before and
Now I'm showing you the door so
Shut your mouth I'm night tryin' to hear your lies again
Sorry you couldn't be a better man
[Chorus]
Kelly Clarkson's song "You Thought Wrong" feat. Tamyr is a powerful and assertive message from a woman who caught her man trying to manipulate and deceive her. In the first verse, she recognizes the man's tactics and how he uses "confusion" to try and win her over. But she doesn't buy into it, and in the chorus, she calls him out for thinking he could hide his behavior from her and their friends. She's not interested in his games and now she's taking control of the situation.
In the second verse, the man tries to pit her against her friends, but again, she's too smart for that. She's not going to let him divide and conquer, and she knows that the blame for his behavior falls solely on him. In the final chorus, she tells him that she's onto him and to get lost. She's not interested in hearing his lies again and wishes he could have been a better man. Overall, the message of the song is about standing up for yourself against manipulative and dishonest partners.

I see how you're tryin' to weasel
I can see through your deceitful ways
Your way in and boy I know how
I know exactly how you try to manipulate people
You maneuver with your
Your every move is intended to deceive
Your confusion
You try to create confusion to hide your true intentions
You tell me that I'm your only
You claim that I am the only person you want to be with
And how bad that you want me
You express how much you desire me
Then why are you so shady
But your actions don't match your words, and you are deceitful
If I'm supposed to be your lady
If you claim that I am your girlfriend
Why should I believe anything you say
You have proven to be untrustworthy, so why should I believe you?
And how could you shame me that way
Your lies and deception have caused me humiliation
Tell me where, where'd you get the nerve
What gives you the audacity to think you can treat me like this?
To even think I'd do you could play me for
To believe that I would fall for your manipulations and lies
You thought we didn't know
You thought we were ignorant to your true intentions
You thought we were in the dark
You thought we were unaware of your manipulations
But boy your cover's blown
But now your lies have been exposed
'Cause we both know now, oh no
You and I are both aware of the truth
You thought you had us both
You believed you had control over both of us
At your beckon call
That we would be at your mercy
But now who's the joke
But now you are the one being laughed at
And look who's laughing now
The truth has been unveiled and it's clear who is really winning
Now you're trying to use us
Now you are attempting to use us against each other
Against one another but it won't work
But your plan will not succeed
I see right through your game boy
I am aware of your intentions and am not fooled by them
And I know exactly where the blame falls
I know who is responsible for this deceitful situation
You, you try to deny all your actions
You are denying your actions in hopes of avoiding responsibility
For once in your life be a real man
Act like a responsible and mature person at least once
At least give me the proper respect of the truth
In the very least, be honest with me
I already know you did it
I am already aware of your actions
Now I see right through you baby
I am no longer fooled by your lies
You try to tell me you want me
You continue to express your desire for me
Can't you just get it through your thick head
Can't you understand that I am no longer interested?
'Cause I have seen this game before and
I have experienced situations like this before
Now I'm showing you the door
I am walking away from this manipulative situation
So shut your mouth I'm night tryin' to hear your lies again
So stop talking because I am not interested in hearing any more lies
Sorry you couldn't be a better man
It's disappointing that you were not able to act like a better person
