  • Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Thanx for nothin'

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    You were just playin' a game

    I can't even know what to say
    I've been hurt I've been played
    And I'm so shamed
    I can't even cry it's that deep
    You just lie and you cheat
    Like it's nothin'

    See you said that you loved me too
    And so I trusted you
    But I guess that subconsciously I knew
    But I didn't wanna face the truth
    That I was only being used
    And you was just frontin'
    Hey boy, thanx for nothin'

    I never knew enough about you babe
    And I guess I only have myself to blame
    Now I'm broken-hearted and shattering
    'Cause you were just playin' a game
    Nothin' anyone could do to convince me babe
    I was livin' in a lie just a masquerade
    Now I only know that I'll never be the same
    But you were just playin' a game

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Thanx for nothin'

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    You were just playin' a game

    Every day and every night
    I stay by the phone
    Never go no place so just in case
    You call I'll be home
    Seems like what I do is
    Think about our pseudo romance
    While you're somewhere burnin' diesel
    In the streets havin' laughs

    Somebody say you know what I'm going through
    You been left with nothin' too
    Too much you can't count on one hand
    Singing three, four, five, six
    Seven days a week you're drowning in tears
    He was so insincere
    Now you're layin' up in bed
    Every night singing
    Hey boy, thanx for nothin'

    I never knew enough about you babe
    And I guess I only have myself to blame
    Now I'm broken-hearted and shattering
    'Cause you were just playin' a game
    Nothin' anyone could do to convince me babe
    I was livin' in a lie just a masquerade
    Now I only know that I'll never be the same
    But you were just playin' a game

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    So thanx for nothin'

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    So thanx for nothin' Writer/s: JERMAINE DUPRI, MANUEL SEAL, MARIAH CAREY
