Busted
Vitamin C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some things you feel
Before somethings revealed
Sometimes you know
Before sometimes it shows
You were with her said you weren't and you're

Not not not
Gonna lie about the feelings that you
Got got got
You can tell me that you love me but you're

Not not not
Goin' get away with lying 'cause you're
Hot hot hot
I believed you when you talked about

Love love love
That I'm the only on that you were thinkin' of
But I'm really not the type to rise above
A little indiscretion with a scrub

Busted , its you I trusted
I guess I must have been a fool
Some things you feel
Before somethings revealed

Sometimes you know
Before sometimes it shows
Its not gonna happen you can
Try try try

I'd never take you back id rather
Die die die
I know you really did it 'cause you
Lie lie lie

And now were not N'sync so its
Bye bye bye
So you tell me that you want me and I'm hot
(uh huh)

And I'm the only good thing that you got
(uh uh)
Too bad you were cheating and got caught
You really don't deserve another shot

Busted , its you I trusted
I guess I must have been a fool
You were with her said you weren't
Had you're fun fun fun

Now I guess you're gonna pay for all the things you've done
Don't even try to tell me she's the only one
If you see me coming near
You better run run run

So now I know the truth I wonder
Why why why
But I'm really not the type to sit around and
Cry cry cry





Now you turned you're back on the one you trusted
Too bad baby 'cause you're busted
