Ne-Yo - Ameture lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Hey, beating yourself up

Tryna figure up how you wound up out in the cold

Not only did you lose me, but the one that you was

Cheatin' on me also left ya alone, no, I can't speak for her

But that be mean(?) you had my mind and was clockin' my soul

But it fell apart cuz you couldn't recall first lie that you told

(Chorus)

Listen, baby, if you're gonna be a liar

At least try to be good at it

If you're gonna be a cheater

Our deal is not to be caught

Got her on the roots(?)

Or don't even play the game

Cuz you got me so high

Don't know what you doin'

Such an ameture

(Verse 2)

Beating myself up

Tryna figure out how you fooled me as long as you did

Mad at myself, so anxious for love that I wasn't payin' attention

But you got the best of me, gave you the best, best believe

Never again, said I'm way to smart, so believe me, baby, never again

(Chorus)

Listen, baby, if you're gonna be a liar

At least try to be good at it

If you're gonna be a cheater

Our deal is not to be caught

Got her on the roots(?)

Or don't even play the game

Cuz you got me so high

Don't know what you doin'

Such an ameture

(Bridge)

Smokin' mills(?), deception

Pillow saltin' tears, rejection

Your hopes and tears connect

When our heart is treated with no care or discretion

Ladies, what you fear is protection

From fellas that don't know about affection

But I'd try some love and affection

Only Mr. Smith and Weston(?)

(Chorus)

Baby, if you're gonna be a liar

At least try to be good at it

If you're gonna be a cheater

Our deal is not to be caught

Got her on the roots(?)

Or don't even play the game

Cuz you got me so high

Don't know what you doin'

Such an ameture
