Mariah Carey - Side Effects lyrics

It's M.C. and Y.J. Another hit, okay We lookin' fine, takin' off Saw us on a runway On any given Sunday, Monday, Tuesday They try to confuse me, I never let 'em use me I was a girl, you was a man I was too young to understand I was naive, I just believed Everything that you told me Said you were strong, protecting me Then I found out that you were weak Keepin' me there, under your thumb Cause you were scared that I'd become much More than you could handle, Shining like a chandelier That decorated every room inside The private hell we built, And I dealt with it Like a kid I wished I could fly away But instead, I kept my tears inside Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying For the rest of my life with you I finally built up the strength to walk away Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) It didn't stop, no one was there Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet Once in awhile, put up a fight It's just too much, night after night After awhile I would just lie, You was dead wrong, said you was right Did what I could, just to survive Couldn't believe this was my life, Flickering like a candle Do my best to handle sleeping with the enemy Whether he was smothering every last part of me So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave Still kept the tears inside Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying For the rest of my life with you I finally built up the strength to walk away Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Hey, hey, hey Let's go! Hey Magnifico or should I say Magnificent? Ain't nothing worth your happiness And I ain't caring who you're with Misery love company so we ain't tryin' to hang with y'all Hurt you if ya let 'em in Gotta keep ya s**a smilin' Keep tryin' to play I tell him I ain't blowin' tho Think they want me outta here, I tell 'em I ain't goin' tho Side effects be drowsiness, Loneliness, How is this? I think the call it hateration, What can you prescribe for this? Forgive but I can't forget, Every day I deal with this I live with the side efffects But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me Forgive but I can't forget, Every day I deal with this I live with the side efffects But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me Kept my tears inside Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying For the rest of my life with you I finally built up the strength to walk away Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh) Side effects (Oh, oh)
