Tables
Natalie La Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just woke up and my man ain't home
Said I was the one but he led me on
Thought he was slick but it don't mean shit
Know I ain't the one to be playing with
I'll make you miss this
Thinking that it's something you get right back
I see you switching
You are on and off like an outlet
Don't take my love for something you can replace
I got too many waiting to take your place
Somebody who can show me right
And never wanna leave my side
Somebody doing what you couldn't do
Now don't be mad that he ain't you
I just woke up and my man ain't home
Said I was the one but he led me on
Thought he was slick but it don't mean shit
Know I ain't the one you can play with
Tables are turning
Kissing and learning
Maybe it's worth it
Kissing and learning
Said you were different
You knew all along you're a lie lie
I caught you slipping
Is it really worth it when you see me
With a fly guy
I wasted so much time on you, but what for
I got too many out here knocking on my door
I know that they can show me right
And never wanna leave my side
Somebody doing what you couldn't do
Now don't be mad that he ain't you
I just woke up and my man ain't home
Said I was the one but he led me on
Thought he was slick but it doesn't mean shit
Know I ain't the one you can play with
Tables are turning
Kissing and learning
Maybe it's worth it
Kissing and learning
I just woke up and my man ain't home
Said I was the one but he led me on
Thought he was slick but it doesn't mean shit
Know I ain't the one you can play with
Tables are turning
Kissing and learning




Maybe it's worth it
Kissing and learning
