Lyrics

2nd Thought

[Verse 1]

Ain't it funny how

Ain't it funny how

Things always come right back around

How the tables turn

With a little time

What once was up will soon be down

Got me thinkin' bout

What it was that made me

Think that you were oh-so-great

Had me sittin' 'round

Tryin' to figure out

What you thought was so wrong with me

[Pre-Chorus]

You treated me like I wasn't nothin'

Thought you were somethin'

You made it seem like Rocka wasn't that thing, uh-uh

Now you come a-knockin' and I was thinkin'

You almost had me for a minute, but I...

[Chorus]

On second thought, I'm alright

Don't hate 'cause I changed my mind

I thought that I wasn't workin'

Now look who's hurtin'

For a chance to be with me, you

On second thought, don't drop by

Think it'd be a waste of time

Remember you wasn't diggin' me

Now you so into me

On second thought, I'll say good bye

Bye bye bye, goodbye bye bye

Goodbye bye bye, good bye bye

[Verse 2]

If back then was now

Probably would have said "thank you Lord for sendin' him to me"

But I found out

That it was better to be hurt back then

'cause now it strengthens me

So now when you bounce

It was because I put you out, now you just needin' me

And now back around

Is it because I was okay when you're still strugglin'

[Pre-Chorus]

You treated me like I wasn't nothin'

Thought you were somethin'

Made it seem like Rocka wasn't that thing, uh-uh

Now you come a-knockin' and I was thinkin'

You almost had me fooled for a minute, but on second thought

[Chorus]

On second thought, I'm alright

Don't hate 'cause I changed my mind

I thought that I wasn't workin'

Now look who's hurtin'

For a chance to be with me, you

On second thought, don't drop by

Think it'd be a waste of time

Remember you wasn't diggin' me

Now you so into me

On second thought, I'll say good bye

[Bridge]

Why did I let you back into my life?

I would never turn back the hands of time

Some things are meant to just fade away

There's no way you could ever change everything you've done

Wouldn't matter to me, 'cause I moved on

Now I see somethin' better in my future

[Chorus]

On second thought, I'm alright

Don't hate 'cause I changed my mind

I thought that I wasn't workin'

Now look who's hurtin'

For a chance to be with me, you

On second thought, don't drop by

Think it'd be a waste of time

Remember you wasn't diggin' me

Now you so into me

On second thought, I'll say good bye

[Break]

I didn't have to be this way, but

Could've had me anyway, but

You chose to do it

Don't know what made you do it

Now hurtin' without me, yeah yeah

Should have did me right before

Now I don't need you no more

It hurts me but I gotta say goodbye

[Outro]

Bye bye bye, goodbye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye, goodbye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye, goodbye bye bye bye
