Mary J. Blige - Not Today lyrics

rate me

This 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 />
