I Bet

About I Bet

"I Bet" is a song by American singer Ciara from her sixth studio album, Jackie (2015). Released as the lead single from the album by Epic Records on January 26, 2015, "I Bet" serves as Ciara's first single following the birth of her first child and widely publicized break-up with American rapper Future. The song was written by the singer, Harmony "H-Money" Samuels and Timothy and Theron Thomas of the production duo Rock City. It was produced by Samuels, and Chris "TEK" O'Ryan was responsible for its vocal production. Developed as a "raw" and emotional track originating from a personal place in Ciara's life, "I Bet" was intended to resonate as "much bigger than any one person's experience". A slow-tempo, somber R&B ballad—with sparse, throwback 1990s-style R&B production—"I Bet" shifts from the sound of the singer's later discography to recall her earlier works, "And I" (2005) and "Promise" (2006). The track's lyrical content deal with subjects of betrayal, trust issues and infidelity in a romantic relationship. more »

I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else
Somebody better than you 
I bet you start needing me soon as you see me with someone else
Somebody other than you
And I know that it hurts, you know that it hurts your pride
But you thought the grass was greener on the other side
I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else
Somebody better than you

So I'm s'posed to believe that it's Felini's callin' ova?
I'm s'posed to believe that they're askin' you if you're home
Went bowlin' yesterday, by me, can't get that ova me, not me
I love you but I won't be a fool for you
That is just somethin' that I wouldn't do, babe
I mean I'mma stay if you could tell the truth
But you can't, no matter how much time I ask

So you can keep that bitch ova there givin' me the ugly stare
The one with the silicone ass, and the Brazilian hair?
You ain't gon' respect me no no no till I'm not there
See, I got you comfortable, now you ain't really scared

I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else
Somebody better than you 
I bet you start needing me soon as you see me with someone else
Somebody other than you
And I know that it hurts, you know that it hurts your pride
But you thought the grass was greener on the other side
I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else
Somebody better than you

So you bought me a car, he can buy that too
I can take care of myself and I can find someone to do it too, baby
You actin' like you upgradin' me, I upgraded you
You and me Fashion Week at Paris, I put you on to that new
But you took advantage of me, took advantage of you, took advantage
I cannot understand it, I cannot understand it, I cannot understand it
I thought you'd always be there for me, yeah yeah
But if you ask me if I knew betta now, hell yeah

So you can keep that bitch ova there givin' me the ugly stare
The one with the silicone ass, and the Brazilian hair?
You ain't gon' respect me no no no till I'm not there
See, I got you comfortable, now you ain't really scared

I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else
Somebody better than you 
I bet you start needing me soon as you see me with someone else
Somebody other than you
And I know that it hurts, you know that it hurts your pride
But you thought the grass was greener on the other side
I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else
Somebody better than you

Somebody other than you
