LYRICS
[Intro]
Ah yiy (Ah, yeah)
Uh-uh, nah, nah (Ah-ah)
Ah, yeah
[Verse 1]
I was a loner when I was with you
I would’ve given myself for you
Now I’m changin’ over, I’m movin’ on now
No turnin’ back, I can’t be with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need you lookin’ for me (Hey, hey)
All you did was give me nothin’, oh nah
Overthinkin’ every mornin’ (Mornin’), oh
Take me out your life, life
[Chorus]
’Cause I’m not an angel
I’m just a girl that knows the truth
And I couldn’t save you (Nah, nah)
You couldn’t see what I’ve been through
I’ll cut my losses in peace
I don’t need nothin’ else from you
‘Cause I’m not angel (An angel, no)
I know I did all I could do
[Verse 2]
Don’t say you love me
Baby, I don’t need your lovin’
But I prefer, “I’m sorry”
All of a sudden you’re askin’ for me
You know your love don’t do nothin’ for mе
Right now we’re not goin’ nowherе
Other than a graveyard, baby
You know your love don’t do nothin’ for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need you lookin’ for me (Hey, hey)
All you did was give me nothin’, oh nah
Overthinkin’ every mornin’ (Mornin’), oh
Take me out your life, life, oh
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m not an angel
I’m just a girl that knows the truth
And I couldn’t save you (Nah, nah)
You couldn’t see what I’ve been through (Through)
[Bridge]
So many girls around you, ’round you
They always callin’ you, “Bae” (‘Round you)
But they don’t love you, love you, love you
Baby, they always come around (‘Round you)
Always tryna call you, “Baby” (‘Round you)
But they don’t know you, know you, know you
[Outro]
‘Cause I’m not an angel
I’m just a girl that knows the truth
And I couldn’t save you
You couldn’t see what I’ve been through
