Sometimes I really don't wanna have to speak my mind.
Cause I really don't wanna tell you how I am digging you so.
I can't let go.
But it hurts me to my soul.
To tell you every little thing that is on my mind.
I can't let you know so I hide it inside.
All my feelings for you.
Don't want you to let it go to your head.
I am mean to you sometimes.
But I can't get you off my mind.
So I hit you with the game.
Always tryna act like your loving doesn't faze me 
When the truth is that it amaze me.
I know it's a big lie.
Cause you can see right through my eyes 
How much I wanna hold you.
Give you all my loving.
Baby boy, let me show you.
And I really wanna get to know you.

[Chorus]
But I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again. (Never, no, no)
Never again.
Never hurt again.
You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again. 
(Never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never again)
Never hurt again.

I can't never ever let you see me this way.
So I take all my feelings and I tuck them away.
Frontin' like I don't want you to hold me tight.
So I act like I'm putting up a fight to get your attention.
And make you stay around longer.
So I tell you I don't like it 
Cause I know that that would make you wanna hold me tighter.
I can't help myself.
I really like ya.

But I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again.
Never again.
Never hurt again.
You drive me crazy 
But I promised myself never to get hurt again. 
(Never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never again)
Never hurt again.

But I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again. 
(Never to get hurt again, no, no)
Never again.
Never hurt again. 
(Never hurt again)
You drive me crazy 
But I promised myself never to get hurt again. 
(Never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never again)
Never hurt again. (Oh boy)

I don't deserve it.
I can never get hurt again.
Never get hurt again.
Never.
I don't deserve it.
I can never get hurt again.
Never get hurt again.
Never, oh
I've been there

But I've been there.
And I've done that. (And I've done that)
And I promised never to get hurt again. 
(And I promised never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never)
Never hurt again. (No, no)
You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again. 
(You drive me crazy but I promised myself never to get hurt again)
Never again. (Never, no, no, no, no)
Never hurt again. (Oh)
I've been there.
And I've done that.
And I promised never to get hurt again.
Never again
