I Thought

When we got together 
spent a lil time together
the way you kissed me
I knew our relationship 
was suppose to get better
but when you told me 
you took another man number
I thought... I was the one 
who made ya heart melt like butter.

I thought I was all you needed
but still I ain't got 
the patience for a chick 
who is just that conceited
I don't know if you do but you better believe it
what I feel for you is real
I ain't got time to deceive
but still I thought... I was all you needed.

It's like you taking my kindness
for a terrible weakness
I feel like I'm running around circles
like I'm in the preakness
can't you feel can't you see
what you doing to me 
I want you to pour ya heart to me
and that means more than just saying you love me
I mean I believe I want you 
to show it, I ain't used to my 
girl cussing me out.

What did I do to deserve this
ask you to just share ya 
inner feelings with the man
you say you love 
I'm giving you 80% 
all I ask for is a dub.

I'm debating with my heart & my mind
my mind & my heart
last night I didn't know whether to end 
the pain or make a new start,
depart or just be by my lonesome.

How could you hurt me like that
you must be that bold 
maybe ya heart's that cold & here I am
debating if this battle should be fought
I thought I was all the man she needed 
yeah that's what I thought.
