Not Today

de Mary J. Blige

Why won't you grow up and be a man someday
I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
Now why do I put up with all this childish play
Now if your word is all you have, then you ain't worth a damn thing

(Promises) you told me everyday
(That you made) you never ever came
(Not for me) I really want to believe
(But, not today) not today, not today, not today

You're the worst, I can't even depend on you
You say a lot of good things, but somethin' else you always do
Be a man of your word, try to love something other than you
But now you can be on your way, because I don't want you to *stay

Bought a house, bought the kids
Lifestyles we would live
Who the fuck you really is
In my face all the time
Spittin' line after line
Broke down my wall and you got in my mind
You's a fake, should've known
All the times I was shown
Believe what I saw *then your cover was blown
Break up, leave, make up please
You's a magician, all *them tricks up your sleeve
*Had me for a minute and I was in it
You played good but I'ma bet you gotta get it
So I make moves and I'ma leave you where you at dog, chill
Go back to square one, wait for somethin' real
Selfish nigga, coulda helped you nigga
Usually know better, but I felt you nigga
I guess gettin' in my head was part of the plan
Cause in reality, the only thing you givin' me is

Don't let him waste your time girl (don't let him waste your time girl)
He's only tellin' lies girl (he's only tellin' some lies to you)
When he apologizes (and he will, he will)
Don't believe all that mess cause he will do it again
