Lyrics

I won't waste another new years Just to fall in love again I'm not wasting no time or no money Just for the appreciation I'm no better than you babe Yeah I know I look good But we both easily fall So I don't think we should The months between calls I never felt so relieved I don't need you in my mind And you sure don't need me And though we tried to arrange Another holiday You can tell I wasn't having it By the way I would say Thank you for praise Though I knew it was hollow But that didn't stop you from going I know you hoped I would follow From here on baby you must contain yourself And I should too I can't keep playing all of these little games We must stay contained I like you when it's you But not you around others Although you kept yourself together When it was just your brothers You were told to act tough And that you should be older So poor you, confused You looked at me for the closure I didn't end it with you You ended with me I know you play your games with men So I'm the next nominee You understand all my dreams And my aspirations Although it feels good right now I just hate this situation From here on baby I must contain myself And you must too You can't keep playing all of these little games We must stay contained And I know your father liked me more than all the other men And I even think our friends liked us too they just wouldn't want see us together again Although I appreciate your friendliness and all the invitations Can we keep it cordial babe I don't wanna set expectations So from here on baby I will contain myself I won't go there again We can't keep playing all of these little games I must stay contained
