Manuel Seal

Y'all know what this is
SO SO DEF
Thanks for nothing

Thanks for nothing

I cant even know what to say
I've been hurt
I've been played
and I'm so ashamed
I can't even cry
it's that deep
You just lie and you cheat
LIke its nothing
see you said that
you loved me to
and so I trusted you
but i guess
that subconsciously knew
but i never met
a boy so true
never thought of me and you
but you was just fronting
aye boy thanks for nothing
i never knew enough
about you babe
i guess i only have
myself to blame
now im broken hearted
and shattering
you were just playing a game
nothing anyone can do to
convince me babe
i was living in a lie
a masquerade
now i only know
that ill never be the same
you were just playing a game
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
thanks for nothing

everyday and every night
i stay by the phone
never go no place
so just incase
you called i be home
seemed like all i do is
think about our
screwed up romance
while you're somewhere
burning diesel
in the streets having laughs
somebody say you know
what I'm going thru
even if were nothing to
but you cant count
on one hand
singing 3456
7 days a week
you're laying in tears
he was so insincere
now you laying up
in bed saying
aye boy thanks for nothing
i never knew enough
about you babe
i guess i only have
myself to blame
now im broken hearted
and shattering
you were just playing game
nothing anyone can do to
convince me babe
i was living in
a lie a masquered
now i only know that ill
never be the same
you were just playing a game
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
thanks for nothing
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
thanks for nothing

Verse 1ohh...sweet love yeah [yeah]
I didn’t mean it when I said
I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn’t know nothing,
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn’t have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I’d be sitting
Here beside myself
Guess I didn’t know you
Guess I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

Pre-Chorus 1
The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here cause baby

Chorus 1
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Verse 2
I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”
Wait a minute this is too deep [too deep]
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
“I Only Think Of You” and it’s breakin’ my heart
I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart

Pre-Chorus 2
I’m feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying tryin’
To figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life baby

Chorus 2
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together baby

Outro
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky ′cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn′t get it but you kept me in line
I didn′t know why you didn′t show up sometimes
It′s something more than saying "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There′s so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by

And soon as you reach a better place
Still I′ll give the whole world to see your face
And I′m right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye)
(Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye)
(Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye)
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I′ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It′s so hard to accept the fact you′re gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by

And soon as you reach a better place
Still I′ll give the whole world to see your face
And I′m right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye)
(Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye)
(Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye)
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins

Lift your head to the sky ′cause we will never say bye

I never knew I could hurt like this

"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
