Lyrics
The Gift
[Hook]
Baby explain
Why you played me, how you played me
Girl can you tell me what it was that made ya lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Now baby explain
Why you gave me, what you gave me
Girl if you were playing from the start then tell me why why why
Why why why why why why why
[Verse 1]
They say love is blind and truthfully, that never made sense to me
Unfortunately now I know just what it means, cuz this sight didn't see
We were living a lie, everything I thought to be real (Really wasn't)
Thought that it mattered to you how I feel but I know now that it doesn't
And if your full intention was to play
Then tell me why you gave the precious gift you gave
[Hook]
Baby explain
Why you played me, how you played me
Girl can you tell me what it was that made ya lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Now baby explain
Why you gave me, what you gave me
Girl if you were playing from the start then tell me why why why
Why why why why why why why
[Verse 2]
And girl I wanna talk to you, I'll call you up, I'm talking to your machine
I really just don't know what to do, baby cuz I had enough, just tell me you don't love me
Cuz girl I've been seeing less and less of you, don't wanna believe it's true, but no one can deny
People been telling me bout another dude, and it didn't matter till I seen it with my own eyes
Baby tell me why
[Hook]
Baby explain
Why you played me, how you played me
Girl can you tell me what it was that made ya lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Now baby explain
Why you gave me, what you gave me
Girl if you were playing from the start then tell me why why why
Why why why why why why why
[Bridge]
I've been told that love can make you cry and also make you smile
But the way I feel about how you've treated me, my smile's been gone for while
Girl there's nothing else that can be done, we have to be apart
But if you weren't for real then why give me your heart
Cuz your gift was your heart
[Hook](2x)
Baby explain
Why you played me, how you played me
Girl can you tell me what it was that made ya lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Now baby explain
Why you gave me, what you gave me
Girl if you were playing from the start then tell me why why why
Why why why why why why why
