Ne-Yo - The Gift lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
