Don't Look at Me That Way
Secret Rendezvous Lyrics

I kept my distance like I said I would
I stayed away from you, just like I promised I would.

And never looked back back
I didn't bother looking back to see if you were following me.

I held my head high like a real woman should
I maintained my composure and didn't let you see that I was affected by your actions.

And had my feelings in check
I made sure to control my emotions and not get too attached to you again.

But now you wanna come around
You suddenly want to be a part of my life again.

You say you wanna be down
You claim that you want to be there for me through my struggles.

With what i'm going through
You want to be a part of my life during a difficult time.

Got my two feet on solid ground
I am feeling stable and confident in my life right now.

So if you wanna be down
If you really want to be involved in my life again,

You better show and prove
you need to demonstrate that you have truly changed and can be trusted.

See we've been down this road before and i'm not tryna get my heart broken again
We have been in this situation before and I do not want to be hurt by you again.

It's not fair but you do this time and time again
It is not right, but you have hurt me repeatedly in the past.

So don't look at me
Do not give me that look,

Don't look at me that way
which suggests that you still have power over me and that we can just go back to how things were.

There's too much history
We have too much baggage and past hurt between us.

and you're the one that wanted space
Furthermore, it was you who wanted distance from our relationship before.

I never said i was over you
I have never claimed to be completely over you.

So don't look at me
Please do not give me that seductive look,

Don't look at me that way
expecting me to fall back into your arms.

Hey hey don't look at me that way

What did you expect?
What were you honestly hoping for?

Thought you had it like that and we'd still be cool?
Did you believe that you could treat me poorly and just come back to our previous dynamic?

After all this time has passed you say you're a changed man but i ain't ready yet to start anew
Even though you've claimed that you've changed, I am not ready to run back into a relationship with you.

I just wanna let you know
I need to make clear to you

You can't keep running back to me boy
that you cannot keep coming back into my life and expecting everything to return to how it was.

I said its time to be mature
It's time for you to grow up and understand that life isn't always easy.

You can't keep running back, running back back and forth
You cannot keep going back and forth in our relationship, hurting me in the process.

Don't look at me
Do not stare at me,

Don't look at me that way
expecting that I will give in to your advances once again.

It ain't that easy
This is not a simple situation to resolve.

We can't go on like nothing's changed
We cannot pretend that our history and previous actions do not affect our relationship moving forward.

Hey don't look at me that way hey

I never said I was over you
I have stated this before, but it bears repeating.

So don't look at me
Please do not give me that tempting look,

Don't look at me that way
thinking that you can sway me to change my mind.
