| You told me
|
| You loved me
|
| You told me
|
| You’d be truthful about my love
|
| You — you told me that you loved
|
| But it wasn’t never really me you dug
|
| Or digged
|
| You said I was ya nig
|
| And come to figure out
|
| That you was all about you
|
| And every single step you take
|
| You took for you
|
| When I first met ya
|
| You were looking rough
|
| In ya Timbaland boots
|
| Cut up shorts and Egyptian musk
|
| Smelling like an African queen
|
| Could this be my dream?
|
| But everything ain’t really what it seems
|
| A couple of months went by
|
| And you and I was thick
|
| Then you started changing
|
| And scripts began to flip
|
| Things that you said
|
| You had to do on Sunday
|
| Was now moved to Monday
|
| Where were you on Wednesday
|
| You had to take advantage cause I was nice
|
| If you bought me something once
|
| I had to buy you something twice
|
| You told me that your friends sat you down
|
| And said you really oughta leave me
|
| Believe me
|
| Truthful
|
| You told me
|
| You loved me
|
| You told me
|
| You’d be truthful about my love
|
| Yo — too much of a party animal
|
| I couldn’t handle you
|
| Always being out
|
| Once in a while was understandable
|
| Where did I go
|
| Where did I go wrong
|
| Was it my fault or your fault
|
| So now I over a malt
|
| Came to the conclusion
|
| That you were confusing
|
| Cause all along
|
| I thought it was wrong
|
| I thought it was me
|
| Started bugging out
|
| Stopped hanging out
|
| Feeling doubt
|
| Wasn’t looking out
|
| But now I’m Swayze
|
| I gave you props
|
| You were smart and intelligent
|
| And if things went wrong
|
| You stood strong and rebelled against
|
| And how you changed me
|
| Had me reading books that amazed me
|
| And just to say hello you would page me
|
| Had a real pretty smile
|
| Like an innocent child
|
| Most of the time calm
|
| Every now and then buck wild
|
| Treated you good, thought I should
|
| Always thinking of ya
|
| You were fly and I loved ya
|
| Truthful
|
| You told me
|
| You loved me
|
| You told me
|
| You’d be truthful about my love
|
| You said you’d be around
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Yo — sad to say goodbye
|
| But I gotta cause it’s over now
|
| Why because you did me wrong too long
|
| Plus you broke your vow
|
| Never meant to
|
| But you said your time was definitely wasted
|
| But I’m truly grateful for the flavor that I tasted
|
| See ya
|
| Hate to be ya
|
| But I wish that I was with ya
|
| Now I’ll be on my way
|
| And no, I definitely won’t forget ya
|
| I don’t know where you are
|
| Wherever you’re at this one’s for you
|
| Remembering all the
|
| And different things we used to do
|
| Truthful
|
| You told me
|
| You loved me
|
| You told me
|
| You’d be truthful about my love |
