The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Well it was like a party But the kids seem to scatter off (Kids seem to scatter off) You told me all those lies That I said you did And I can't give one more chance But I betcha I will show you That the pick of a letter comes a little thicker And I said it would And it's been coming for a long time [Chorus] L! Let's get you ready for another, another lifetime O! Our position is just to see what you can do V! Become a victim on the verge, I'll kick your ass now E! This is serious so you'll know what to do You been wasting time Are you out of your mind Well you show me some love With intentions high You probably need a place to count your cash (Need a place to count your cash) You said you're sorry so many times And I'm sorry that you ever did Well you can take your life of love And stick it up in your main frame Cause there'll be no more second chances No more hot romances And I like it this way So let me break it down for you [Chorus] Better stop playin' me Start lovin' me I ain't the same woman giving love for free All my life sittin', thinkin' how to please you Been flyin' so long now, my screws are loose Now it's time to move Cause I'm sick and tired of playin' the fool Cause you play to lose And I play to win Tried not tosin' Treid to be your friend Like every other girl Never sexed your friends But it's over now And you saying, "How?" I found something new That worth the while Instead of messin' with a bump cat poster child But I'm focused now People saying, "Wow!" In place of a frown on my face, a smile You must be out yo mind I have no time to get you ready for a love of a lifetime [Chorus] You been wasting time Are you out of your mind Well you show me some love
