Mary J. Blige - Not Today lyrics
rate meThis is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies<br />
<br />
Why won't you grow up and be a man someday?<br />
I can't believe that you're still playin' silly games<br />
Now why do I put up with all this child's play?<br />
Now if your word is all you have then you ain't worth a damn thing<br />
<br />
Promises you told me every day<br />
That you made you never ever kept<br />
By me, I really want to believe<br />
But not today, not today, not today, not today<br />
<br />
You're the worst, I can't even depend on you<br />
You say a lot of good things but somethin' else you always do<br />
Be a man of your word, try to love something other than you<br />
But now you can be on your way 'cause I don't want you to stay<br />
<br />
Promises, promises 'bout our house, 'bout the kids<br />
Lifestyle we would live, who the fuck you really is?<br />
In my face all the time, spittin' line after line<br />
Broke down my wall and you got in my mind<br />
You's a fake, shoulda known all the signs I was shown<br />
Believed what I saw and your cover was blown<br />
Breakup, leave, make up, please<br />
You's a magician, all them tricks up your sleeve<br />
<br />
Had me for a minute, I was in it, you played good<br />
But I'ma get you, gotta get it, so I make moves<br />
And I'ma leave you where you at dog, chill<br />
Go back to square one, wait for somethin' real<br />
Selfish nigga, could have helped you, nigga<br />
Usually know betta but I felt you, nigga<br />
I guess gettin' in my head was a part of the plan<br />
'Cause in reality the only thing you givin' me is<br />
<br />
Promises you told me every day<br />
That you made you never ever kept<br />
By me, I really want to believe<br />
But not today, not today, not today, not today<br />
<br />
Promises you told me every day<br />
That you made you never ever kept<br />
By me, I really want to believe<br />
But not today, not today, not today, not today<br />
<br />
Don't let him waste your time, girl<br />
He's only tellin' lies, girl<br />
And when he apologizes<br />
Don't be believing that man<br />
'Cause he gon' do it again and again<br />
<br />
Promises you told me every day<br />
That you made you never ever kept<br />
By me, I really want to believe<br />
But not today, not today, not today, not today<br /><br />
