[English]
Oh, where is your jealousy?Why won't you cry? (Why won't you cry?)
This is just telling me, you took me for a ride
And baby, you wind me up, took me for a ride
And baby, you drive me up, the wall and down with lies
And baby, you wind me up, took me for a ride
And baby, you drive me up, the wall and down
Boy, I'm lookin' at you, don't walk away
Comin' home at like two, then four, then eight
Boy, you lookin' like you don't know my name
Every day you wanna butter me up
Then, you're pushin' me out the way (yeah)
Now you wanna be a bad boy, papa
Y'ain't a man, you're just a handsome knock-off
I saw you sneakin', tryna plant one on her
Oh, you mad all the sudden?
'Cause your man got my number (yeah)
I wish you saw what I saw in you
Never opened that door to you and gave it all to you
How the fuck I wasn't on to you?
Man, it's a round of applause, but I'm warnin' you, boo
Where is your jealousy?
Why won't you cry? (Why won't you cry?)
This is just tellin' me, you took me for a ride
And baby, you wind me up, took me for a ride
And baby, you drive me up, the wall and down with lies
And baby, you wind me up, took me for a ride
And baby, you drive me up, the wall and down
Maybe I'm a toy 'til you wind me
I be on a run 'til you find me
Bad ting, I don't want a bad mind, me
Can't wait 'til you realize finally
Big mouth but the steam on tiny
I been seein' everythin' unwindin'
And I bought you all your chains in a fistful
Rollie dead on your wrist, untimely
Baby, need somebody to trust in me
Need somebody to love on me, baby, baby, oh
Low key, I love it when you talk to me
But I don't wanna be your one-night thing
Help me, can we? Oh
Where is your jealousy?
Why won't you cry? (Why won't you cry?)
This is just telling me, you took me for a ride
And baby, you wind me up, took me for a ride
And baby, you drive me up, the wall and down with lies
And baby, you wind me up, took me for a ride
And baby, you drive me up, the wall and down
