Lyrics

Spoken: Scandalous...deceit...betrayal...feelings

VERSE 1:
You know I had ya’ back
And I was always there for you
When so much trouble came ya’ way
It was I you went running to
Now I discovered ‘dat
All this scandal’s going on
You’ve been draggin’ down my name
Spreadin’ lies about me all around town-na’

PRECHORUS:
Tell me what’s up—
What did I do to deserve this
To deserve this
Thought we were cool—
I’m asking you was it worth it
Was it worth it
The day will come
When you will surely regret dis
Will regret this
She’ll be long gone
Once she’s drained all ya’ pockets, I’ve been be

CHORUS:
I’ve been be
Betrayed, been betrayed
By what I called a friend
I’ve been be
Betrayed, been betrayed
Ya’ been sleepin’ wit’ my man
(Repeat)

VERSE 2:
You’re intoxicated
By da poison ivy
Ya jones has had ya’ itchin’
For what I thought belonged ta’ me
How could ya done ‘dis
Thought I was your honey bee
Forget it you can have him
But ya’ll goin’ be da’ ones ta’ leave

(PRECHORUS) (CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
You better get all out my face
Or I’m taking off my earrings
Yes I’m a lady filled with grace
But you’ll surely get a beating
And get ya’ hands from ‘round my waist
After you been touchin’ ‘er
Ya done told me so much lies
Lucifer you’re gonna burn-na’

BRIDGE:
And don’t come back
And don’t come back
With ya’ fakin’

Won’t take ya’ back
Won’t take ya’ back
You are mistaken
(Repeat)

(CHORUS) (BRIDGE)
(VAMP with scatting)

I’ve been betray, tray, trayed
I’ve been betrayed---
