You Thought Wrong
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
If I'm supposed to be your lady
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]

I see how you're tryin' to weasel
I'm fully aware of your intentions
Your way in and boy I know how
I know the exact tactics you're using to get close to me
You maneuver with your
You try to deceive me with
Your confusion
Your fake feelings and mixed signals
You tell me that I'm your only
You claim that I'm the only one you want
And how bad that you want me
You claim to want me badly
Then why are you so shady
So why are you acting so suspicious?
If I'm supposed to be your lady
If I'm supposed to be the one you're serious about
Why should I believe anything you say
I have no reason to believe your lies
And how could you shame me that way
How can you embarrass me like that?
Tell me where, where'd you get the nerve
Who do you think you are to have the courage to do that?
To even think I'd do you could play me for
To even consider that I would fall for your games
You thought we didn't know
You thought we were clueless
You thought we were in the dark
You thought we didn't have a clue
But boy your cover's blown
But your lies have been uncovered
'Cause we both know now, oh no
Both of us have figured it out
You thought you had us both
You thought we were both under your control
At your beckon call
Available anytime you called
But now who's the joke
But now you're the fool
And look who's laughing now
I'm the one who's getting the last laugh
Now you're trying to use us
Now you're trying to pit us against each other
Against one another but it won't work
But your plan won't succeed
I see right through your game boy
I can see your motives clearly
And I know exactly where the blame falls
I know who's really responsible
You, you try to deny all your actions
You try to pretend like you did nothing wrong
For once in your life be a real man
For once in your life, take responsibility for your actions
At least give me the proper respect of the truth
At least have enough respect to tell me the truth
I already know you did it
I already know what you did
Now I see right through you baby
Now I can see your true colors
You try to tell me you want me
You try to convince me that you're interested in me
Can't you just get it through your thick head
Can't you understand that I see through your lies?
'Cause I have seen this game before and
Because I've been through this before
Now I'm showing you the door so
Now I'm kicking you out
Shut your mouth I'm night tryin' to hear your lies again
Stop talking, I'm not interested in hearing your lies anymore
Sorry you couldn't be a better man
I'm sorry you didn't have the decency to act like a real man
