Lyrics Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige

Thank You

It's funny how you think you know someone

Until they pull the switch on you, ooh

You never, ever think they do you wrong

Until one day they flip on ya, hey, hey, ooh

That's the time you know they hurt you bad

Because you know you let your guard down (did it all for you, yeah)

Oh, Lord, you know you heard me

You were so unworthy

And you know you didn't deserve me

I was lost but now I'm found

So thank you for showing me who you really are

'Cause up 'til now, I wouldn't believe

You would go this far

See you tryna hurt me

What was deep inside but that wasn't you

Oh, but thank you, baby

Really thank you, thank you, baby

'Cause I know the truth

I must admit you caught me by surprise

When you showed me your true colors, yeah

I can't believe I ever trusted you

Considered you my friend and my lover, woo

I think of how I went so hard for you

Gave my heart to you

Went to war for you

I got scars for you

Would have did time behind bars for you, yeah

Thank you, baby, really thank you, baby

'Cause now I finally, now I know the truth

Thank you for showing me who you really are

Oh 'cause up 'til now, I wouldn't believe

You would go this far

See you tryna hurt me

What was deep inside but that wasn't you

Oh, but thank you, baby

Really thank you, thank you, baby

'Cause I know the truth

I know they say the truth hurts but a lie kills

I shouldn't known that before, you ain't for real

Mind yourself, oh, I'm so mad

But I thank you, thank you, thank you

When people show you who they are, we should believe them

How could I let it get this far? I could have seen it

But now I see the light and I'm alright

And I thank you, thank you, thank you
