Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're exactly the kind of guy
That I always want to try
But the love that you provide
Your love is temporary, temporary
[Verse 2]
And the story that you preach
Says it's in love that you believe
But you're desperate not to feel
So your love is temporary, temporary
[Chorus]
Good guys hurt you like bad guys do
Nothing can protect you
Sometimes I neglect you
Believe what I'm seeing
Feel what I'm feeling
Ever since I met you
Easy to forget you
Are
Temporary, temporary
Are
Temporary, you're temporary
Easy to forget you are
Temporary, temporary
Temporary, temporary
[Verse 3]
Hey, player, it must be nice
To have eyes that hypnotize
You're too beautiful to disguise
It's a shame it's all temporary, temporary
[Verse 4]
Oh the days are drawing near
When games won't be cute, my dear
When your words ring insincere
Your charms are temporary, temporary
[Chorus]
Good guys hurt you like bad guys do
Nothing can protect you
Sometimes I neglect you
Believe what I'm seeing
Feel what I'm feeling
Ever since I met you
Easy to forget you
Are
Temporary, you're temporary
Are
Temporary, you're temporary
Easy to forget you are
Temporary, temporary
Temporary, temporary
[Verse 5]
Ooh, don't get too comfortable, oh no
Ain't nothing personal
But I know this ain't real!
It ain't real
[Chorus]
Good guys hurt you like bad guys do
Nothing can protect you
Sometimes I neglect you
Believe what I'm seeing
Feel what I'm feeling
Ever since I met you
Easy to forget you
Are
Temporary, temporary
Are
Temporary, temporary
Easy to forget you are
Temporary, temporary
Temporary, temporary
[Outro]
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know, yeah (Giving it up)
Giving it up, giving it up
Giving it up, giving it up
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
I hope you know (Giving it up)
giving it up
