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
