Not Today (feat. Eve) Lyrics & Chords By Mary J. Blige

This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies
Why won't you grow up and be a man someday?
I can't believe that you're still playin' silly games
Now why do I put up with all this child's play?
Now if your word is all you have then you ain't worth a damn thing
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me, I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
You're the worst, I can't even depend on you
You say a lot of good things but somethin' else you always do
Be a man of your word, try to love something other than you
But now you can be on your way 'cause I don't want you to stay
Promises, promises 'bout our house, 'bout the kids
Lifestyle we would live, who the fuck you really is?
In my face all the time, spittin' line after line
Broke down my wall and you got in my mind
You's a fake, shoulda known all the signs I was shown
Believed what I saw and your cover was blown
Breakup, leave, make up, please
You's a magician, all them tricks up your sleeve
Had me for a minute, I was in it, you played good
But I'ma get you, gotta get it, so I make moves
And I'ma leave you where you at dog, chill
Go back to square one, wait for somethin' real
Selfish nigga, could have helped you, nigga
Usually know betta but I felt you, nigga
I guess gettin' in my head was a part of the plan
'Cause in reality the only thing you givin' me is
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me, I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me, I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
Don't let him waste your time, girl
He's only tellin' lies, girl
And when he apologizes
Don't be believing that man
'Cause he gon' do it again and again
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me, I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
