When you say you love me, it doesn't matter It goes to my head as just chit chatter You may take this egostistical or just or worry free But what you say I take none of it seriously And even if I did I wouldn't tell you so I'd let you pretend to read me And then you'll know Cause I hate when one attempts to analyze In fact I despize those who even try To look into my eyes to see what I am thinking That dream is over, ya yacht is sinking And I tell all of you like I told all of them What you say to me is just paper thin, word I'm not the kind of girl to try to play a man out I take the money and the gear and then break the hell out No thats not my strategy, not the game I play I admit I play game but it's not done that way Truly when I get involved I give it my heart I mean my mind, my soul, my body I mean every part But if it doesn't work out, yo it just doesn't It wasn't meant to be you know, it just wasn't So I treat all of you like I treat all of them And what you say to me is still paper thin In one ear and right out the other Hurt is mumbo jumbo (eeeish) lover I don't pay attention I don't concentrate You ain't got the bait that it takes to hook this A-hah, a-hah, a-hah Sucker you missed, I put feelings aside I know who I am My name is Lyte is your name Sam?
