Roy Woods – Thought It Was You Lyrics

Thought It Was You Lyrics by Roy Woods

[Intro: Aaliyah]
Probably leave (Probably leave)
You alone (You alone)
She would probably curse you out
And unplug her phone (Oh)
Probably leave (Probably leave)
You alone (You alone)
She would probably curse you out
And unplug her phone (Oh)

[Verse 1]
Baby, you can call me over while you’re laid up
It ain’t nothin’ to me but a favor
But you be tryna war soon as you wake up
‘Cause you believe all them stories them bitches make up
Talking ’bout loyalty like, “Roy, when you gon’ wake up?”
Why you got a different nigga’s name on your anklе? (Oh, yeah)
But I’m holdin’ my thoughts ’cause I still love who you wеre not who you are
But you’re not the same girl, not anymore
Hate that I miss you, don’t wanna feel anymore
I know you’re sad and you’re more depressed than before
We both fucked up, don’t just put it on me
You have feelings but you never told me
That you had ’em from three years ago
Now shit change, where’d you feelings go? (Oh, oh)

[Chorus]
I thought it was you that I wanted in my life
But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right
But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right (Oh)
Say it’s not true to know I waited all this time
To realize you’re livin’ off a lie

[Verse 2]
We were makin’ money outside the 905
Makin’ different currency ‘cross the borderline
Me and you was fuckin’ different bitches, three at a time
But you got me thinkin’ different since you started to get jealous
Don’t care about your feelings, can’t take shit back, you done said it
You gettin’ needy, pop this ZZZ ’cause you like attention
Feelin’ picky, you wanna gitchy-gitchy me for advantage
You got secrets I know you’re keepin’ but I know you won’t tell it
I’d rather be here alone, be on my own
If you could lie to my face, live on your own
Let you into my home, speak to my mom
‘Bout the problems that you got but it’s me that’s wrong

[Chorus]
I thought it was you that I wanted in my life (Oh)
But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right
But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right (Oh)
Say it’s not true to know I waited all this time
To realize you’re livin’ off a lie
(But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh)
I thought it was you that I wanted in my life
But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right
But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right (Oh)
Say it’s not true to know I waited all this time
To realize you’re livin’ off a lie
(But now I know I wasn’t thinkin’ right)
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Thought it was you
Thought it was you
Thought it was you
You, ooh
