Lonely
To think I'm so naive
How dare you play with me?
I gave you heart and soul, yeah
Tell me baby, please
Why you screwing with my head?
I don't think you understand
I won't take your- (huh) no more
Don't knock on my door
Not this time, because I recognize
I've heard it all before and I-I-I
I think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Don't tell me how to feel
Or say that you're for real
My mind's made up, I'm cool without ya
You got no more appeal
Now, this girl don't need no man
Say what she can do or what she can't
Now, I live for me
Boy, does that make you weep?
Not this time, because I realize
I've heard it all before and I-I-I
I think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Think of times you made me cry you
Had me so confused
I'm tired of trying, leave behind this
What's a girl to do? (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
Think of all the times you made me sick
I used to think I couldn't handle it
What you think, I'm just another chick?
Messed with Brit, boy, you must have tripped
What were you thinking when you lost my trust?
You had it all, and now you're left with nothing
Ooh, baby, now I know you want my touch
And now you're lonely and you still want me
Think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you
(Back in) think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it (face it)
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
How dare you play with me?
I gave you heart and soul, yeah

Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
