3 Strikes

Lyrics

[Chorus] First time, I let you back inside Everybody gets another chance Second time, my mama replied Said, "You gotta let him be a man" Third time, I've had it with your lying So sorry wouldn't work again So I said, "Three strikes, you're out, no more You're wrong, get gone, keep walking out my door" [Verse 1] Packed your bags while you were gone They'll be waiting for you on the lawn Changed the lock, so keep your key We don't need to talk, so no apologies I don't wanna feel like I'm going through Time and time again if I'm loving you So just walk away, leave me alone This is for the best, so I'm moving on [Pre-Chorus] (One, two, three, four) You were messin' 'round We're never really sure and (Four, three, two, one) You thought it was game And you could have some fun (One, two, three, four) Said, "I won't be a fool Won't let you back in my door, no" (Four, three, two, one) 'Cause playtime is over You're through, I'm done [Chorus] First time, I let you back inside Everybody gets another chance (Everybody gets another chance, baby) Second time, my mama replied (My mama said) Said, "You gotta let him be a man" (Ooh, gotta let him be a man, oh) Third time, I've had it with your lying (Yeah) So sorry wouldn't work again (So I said) So I said, "Three strikes, you're out, no more You're wrong, get gone, keep walking out my door" [Verse 2] Had me fooled, loving you Had me thinking 'bout spending life with you So locked up in your tricky ways Only thoughts of you had me in a daze Then reality came and gave to me What I needed most, that was eyes to see You would never change, everything was game Counting all the times really blows my mind [Pre-Chorus] (One, two, three, four) Mmm, you were messin' 'round We're never really sure and (Four, three, two, one) Oh, you thought it was game And you could have some fun, yeah (One, two, three, four) Oh, "I won't be a fool And won't let you back in my door, yeah, yeah" (Four, three, two, one) Playtime is over You're through, I'm done [Chorus] First time, I let you back inside Everybody gets another chance (Gave you another chance, baby) Second time, my mama replied (My mama said) Said, "You gotta let him be a man" (Mama said I gotta let you be a man) Third time, I've had it with your lying So sorry wouldn't work again (So I said) So I said, "Three strikes, you're out, no more You're wrong, get gone, keep walking out my door" [Bridge] (I hoped, mmm) I hoped, I prayed You would come around, see it my way Now it's too late (No, no) No chances, go away, go away (Hey, first time) [Chorus] First time, I let you back inside (Oh) Everybody gets another chance (Everyone gets another chance) Second time, my mama replied (My mama said) Said, "You gotta let him be a man" (My mama said you gotta let him be a man, ah yeah-yeah-yeah) Third time, I've had it with your lying (Oh yeah) So sorry wouldn't work again (And sorry wouldn't work again, so I said) So I said, "Three strikes, you're out, no more You're wrong, get gone, keep walking out my door" (I let you back in, yes, I did) [Outro] First, time I let you back inside Everybody gets another chance (Everybody gets another chance)
