You Thought (feat. Janelle Monáe)

You would've thought that I finally made drum major, the way I play with the bands
You would've thought that I worked at the venue, the way that I pack out the stands
You would've thought that I worked at the mall, the way that my closet expands
You would've thought me and you was involved, the way that you holdin' my hand

Your people probably think that we engaged, how much you stay over my place
They probably think that I live in a cave, the way that we stay out the way
You probably think that I live in a safe, the way I make you feel safe
You probably think that my Wi-Fi not paid, the way that I do not play

You would've thought I was Nicolas Cage, the way that I do not play
You would've thought that I hated the stage, the way that I do not play
You would've thought that the coach hatin' me, the way that I do not play
You would've thought that she hated the place, how fast she's walkin' away ('way)

You would've thought she was a racer the way she speedin'
You would've thought that I was far away the way she keeps reachin'
You would've thought that I was far away the way she keeps screamin'
You would've thought she caught me cheating how fast she's leavin'
You would've thought that we was movin' how fast she's packin'
You would've thought someone yelled "Action" with how you're actin'
You would've thought we were in Aspen how cold your ass been
I would've thought that we could talk about whatever happened

I thought that we
I thought we were better than that
I thought we were better
I thought we were better than that
Baby, I thought that we
I thought we were better than that
I thought we were better than that

You would think I'd learn the lesson that she keeps teachin'
You would think we was on the same page, but I wasn't readin'
You would think she had a choir the way she's preachin'
Church say "Amen"
You would think she'd show me mercy the way I'm beggin'
Baby, I'll get down on both knees (beggin')
You would think that she would turn around just for a second
I think I really hurt her this time, I think I'm gon' regret it

I thought that we
I thought we were better than that
I thought we were better
I thought we were better than that

Baby, I thought that we
I thought we were better than that
I thought we were better than that

I thought that we
I thought we were better than that
I thought we were better
I thought we were better than that

Baby, I thought that we
I thought we were better than that
I thought we were better than that
