How could you play me
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady
You did me shady, baby
How could you play me
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady

[Verse 1]
Remember the day I got you
Over there at your friend’s place
You never told me your friend’s name
I never did see your friend’s face
I remember when your friend called me
She told me what her name was
And she told me that was your girl
Then I figured out what the truth was
Yeah the truth was
In the mist of it all
Every time that you called
Every time I heard her name
You said you weren’t involved
And I believed all your lies
Even when the truth came out
And I know I should’ve bounced
But I stuck around

[PreChorus]
How could I, how could I
Be so blind, be so blind
And now I’m stuck picking up the pieces
Of my life, yeah my life
Flashed before my eyes
And it happened for no reason

[Chorus]
How could you play me
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady
You did me shady, baby
How could you play me
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady
You did me shady, baby

[Verse 2]
I’ve been dumb enough
I’ve been blinded by love
I saw what I wanted and uh
It was never what it was
How could I be so stupid
Loving you now is useless
Cause you’re the same as before
Falling for all of the same ish
Finally speaking your language
I guess I was the only one in love

[PreChorus]
How could I, how could I
Be so blind, be so blind
And now I’m stuck picking up the pieces
Of my life, yeah my life
Flashed before my eyes
And it happened for no reason

[Chorus]
How could you play me?
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady
You did me shady, baby
How could you play me
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady
You did me shady, baby

[Bridge]
I gave you 100% of me
You didn’t give me anything
Now I’m wondering why
Why I still, why I still
Need you to tell me the truth
Was it ever real for you?
Was it ever real for you? Was it ever real for you?
Was it ever real for you? Was it ever real for you?
Was it ever real for you? Was it ever real for you?
Was it ever real for you? Was it ever real for you?
Was it ever real for you? Was it ever real for you?

How could you play me
How could you play me, baby
You did me shady
You did me shady, baby
How could you play me, how could you play me
You did me shady, you did me shady
