Just when I imagined, we'd hit our stride
You flipped the script on me
you blew my mind.../
I guess the talk on the street has got to be true..
you flipped the script on me
you've gone and found you someone new../
Well I need to know
If I should hang around baby
or if I should go
but don't try to play me or waste my time
by even suggesting that you could entertain
the idea of being a friend of mine.../
Girl, really thought everything was going to be fine
you flipped the script on me
you blew my mind../
And if you knew all along that you were going to go
why couldn't I hear it from you?
Why did I have to be the last to know?/
I think I know what I need to know
That it's time..it's time to let you go..
and while you continue..
continue to play your game.
I just want you to know that I'm not goin out
that way.../
There is one thing I know to be true..
that one day the same thing will happen to you...
and what will you do?
when someone flips the script on you?/
Then you'll see what it's like to be the talk of the town..
when you find that what goes around,
surely comes around./
You flipped the script on me
