You must have stupid written all over your face <br />Cause you are still calling after I put your ass in place <br />Youre still trying to say how much I mean to you <br />When this whole charades is already through <br /> <br />The nerves of you to call me your girl! <br />The nerves of you to tell me Im your world! <br />The nerves of you to say you love me? <br />To try and justify your infidelity? <br />The nerves you have to try and make me see <br />That where I am there your heart will be <br />The nerves you have to give me heartache <br />But now you know that my heart you cant break <br />The nerves you have to make it all a game <br />I swear! You are so totally lame <br />The nerves you have to try and make me cry <br />But now you know that Ill get by <br /> <br />You were the one crying that night <br />Thinking that I was going to put up a fight <br />I dont fight for things that no longer matter <br />Plus I dont want to be with a liar <br />I cant stand people who dont know their own hearts <br />But I guess this is where the road parts <br /> <br />I cant believe you have the nerves to say <br />All those promises you made that day <br />You have the nerves to ask me to stay <br />But you should have known that my answer would be, NO WAY <br /> <br />I thought my love for you will keep you <br />But I guess what I thought wasnt true <br /> <br />And then you have the nerves to say you want to marry me <br />Is there a label that says stupid that I cant see? <br />You also had the nerves to promise me tomorrow <br />When all you planned on giving me was sorrow <br /> <br />Im still confused about all that went on <br />Yet Im just relieved that now its gone <br />I still cant believe that you had the nerves to play <br />But now what more can I say? <br />You played with fire and I warned you <br />That my momma didnt raise no fool <br />Just know that I aint waiting for you <br />And whatever it is, Ill get through!<br /><br />Elizabeth U.
