Lyrics
[Intro]
Darkchild, Mary
[Verse 1]
'Cause the sex was good, you had my mind
And I, let you come back every time
You would, violate and cross the line
And you, knew that I would be the type to
Always wait so patiently, thinking
You was coming home to me
Well, damn I never heard the keys
Or felt your taps saying, "Are you asleep?"
[Verse 2]
Rewind that
'Cause the sex was good, you had my mind
And I, let you come back every time
You would, violate and cross the line
And you, knew that I would be the type to
Always wait so patiently, thinking
You was coming home to me
Well, damn I never heard the keys
Or felt your taps saying, "Are you asleep?"
[Chorus]
Don't wanna play house no more
You so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I
Need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cry
Cryin', cryin', cry
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me
[Verse 3]
Time to choose my clothes
Choose my friends, be with my family
They been asking, "Girlfriend, where you been? We ain't seen you in weeks"
Been chasing this fool around, thinking he gon' hold me down
I would follow his lead
Thinking I would be the one he keep around
What I needed, not your finance
And all that I needed, real commitment
I really couldn't see it, not the real man
You said you would be there, in this relationship
So many men think that all a girl needs (These men, they think)
Is to be sold a dream but I won't fall for it (A dream)
[Chorus]
Don't wanna play house no more
You so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I
Need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cry
Cryin', cryin', cry
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me
[Bridge]
Don't wanna play house no more
You treat me all wrong, I'm tired of you playing
Got me lookin' at the front door
This ain't yours, so don't be playing me
Don't wanna play house no more, no more
I'm tired of you playing
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cry
It's time I do something for me
[Verse 4]
You turned your back, and back I came running
But the simple fact is that you ain't want me
Done enough lying and crying to myself
Nothing left to do but move
What else can I do but leave?
I believed that you would marry me, but now I gotta breeze
I be's with LT when you come to your senses
But then it's too late, that's always how it be
Catch me with the B's on the wheels, Giuseppi's on the hills
Should've Marc Jacobs Fe Fe bagged me, when you had me
Next dude will gladly pick up where you left off
Ice me, wife me, you ain't gon' have me
Cryin', cryin', cry
Cryin', cryin', cry
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me
[Chorus]
Don't wanna play house no more
You so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I
Need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cry
Cryin', cryin', cry
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me
[Chorus]
Don't wanna play house no more
You so dumb to think you gon' marry me
I got to be out my mind to think I
Need someone to carry me
I've done enough cryin', cryin', cry
Cryin', cryin', cry
It's time to say bye, bye, bye
It's time I do something for me, for me, for me
[Intro]
It's time I do something for me, for me, for me
