You played me for a fool you took me for a ride
I am not the one who will keep you close beside
I was a diamond in the rough
Now I'm scratches on a pearl
You could've had me shining
You could've had this girl

But you played me and deceived me
You played me for my money
Played me for a good time
Baby chased me when I was running

I don't want to say it but you probably gonna say it too
How you played me for a fool how you broke a simple rule
And I fell for your deception
I fell for your good looks
I fell for your sweet charm
But I should't have read those books

Hey yeah hey yeah hey yeah...

Never mess with matches cause you know you'll get burnt
You beat me once too easy but you know it won't be twice
I could've set your night alright
But you never played me right
Boy you need direction to handle my affection
I don't want to say it (x4)

I don't wanna say it but you probably gonna say it too
How you played me for a fool
How you broke a simple rule (x2)

I fell for your deception
I fell for your good looks
I fell for your sweet charm
But I should't have read those books

Hey yeah hey yeah...
