Mary J. Blige - Not Today lyrics

This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies 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 child's 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 something else you always do Be a man of your word, try to love something or love in you But now you can be on your way, because I don't want you today Promises, bought a house, bought the kids Lifestyles we would live Who the f** you really is In my face all the time Spitting 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 and your cover was blown Break up leave, make up please You's a magician, all the tricks up your sleeve Have me for a minute and I was in it You played good but I'm a b**h 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 something real Selfish n***a, could've helped you n***a Usually know betta but I felt you n***a I guess getting in my head was part of the plan Cause in reality, the only thing you giving me is 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 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 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) Then he apologizes (and he will, he will) Don't believe all that mess cause he will do it again 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
