Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Johnny was a roller, thought he could control you
Bought you lots of diamonds and pearls
But his cash, no, it didn't last
A minute in your world
[Verse 2]
Cam's a fancy dancer, thought he could romance you
Showed you all his talent and moves
But his steps, no, they didn't
Get him any closer to you
[Verse 3]
'Cause they don't know you, girl (Ah, they don't know you)
Like I know you, girl (Ah, like I know you)
What they don't know (Ah, they don't know)
Oh, is gonna be their end
[Verse 4]
No, they don't love you, girl (Ah, they don't love you)
Like I love you, girl (Ah, like I love you)
What they don't see (Ah, they don't see)
Oh, is that they can't win
[Verse 5]
Damon was a player, thought that he could lay you
Down and talk about his school
But his lines, you didn't pay no mind
You played him for a fool
[Verse 6]
Tony bought you flowers, hounded you for hours
Showered you with compliments
But he saw when you didn't fall
He had to call it quits
[Verse 7]
'Cause they don't know you, girl (Ah, they don't know you)
Like I know you, girl (Ah, like I know you)
What they don't know (Ah, they don't know)
Oh, is gonna be their end
[Verse 8]
No, they don't love you, girl (Ah, they don't love you)
Like I love you, girl (Ah, like I love you)
What they don't see (Ah, they don't see)
Oh, is that they can't win
[Verse 9]
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
[Verse 10]
'Cause they don't know you, girl (Ah, they don't know you)
Like I know you, girl (Ah, like I know you)
What they don't know (Ah, they don't know)
Oh, is gonna be their end (It's gonna be their end)
[Verse 11]
No, they don't love you, girl (Ah, they don't love you)
Like I love you, girl (Ah, like I love you) (No, no, no)
What they don't see (Ah, they don't see)
Oh, is that they can't win
[Verse 12]
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da (They don't know you, girl)
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da (Like I know you, they don't know you, oh, no, no)
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da (They don't know you, girl)
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da (Ah, ah, ah, whoa, no, no, no, no)
