MARY J. BLIGE
"Telling The Truth"

I'm not gonna cry, no, not again
So much on my mind, you gotta understand
I ain't got much time for you, so I
Rather be alone, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now you miss you water
What you gonna do? Your well went dry
Was I the one you thought of?
I know you see that pain behind these eyes
Now I know you're caught up
Damn, I know you're caught up, oh

[Chorus:]
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool

Oh, I'm not gonna die, no, not again
My heart won't survive this pain again
But I'll be alright, yes indeed
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm strong, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now you miss you water
What you gonna do? Your well went dry
Was I the one you thought of?
I know you see that pain behind these eyes
Now I know you're caught up
Damn, I know you're caught up, oh

[Chorus:]
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool

[Bridge:]
So what if you did this to me?
Why you set me free?
I need a man, lover of my soul
Someone who cares for me
Cares for all of my needs
Was blind but now I see
You're not the one

[Chorus:]
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
Ooh, baby, you're not telling the truth
After all that I done for you
Still tryna play me for a fool
