Not Today Lyrics by Mary J. Blige

Not Today Lyrics

    (feat. Eve)

    This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies

    Why won't u grow up & be a man someday
    I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
    Now why do I put up w/ all this child's play
    Now if your word is all you have
    Then u ain't worth a damn thing

    [Chorus:]
    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 u
    U say a lot of good things
    But something else u always do
    Be a man of your word
    Try to love something other than u
    But now u can be on your way
    Cause I don't want you to stay

    [Eve:]
    Promises bout our house
    Bout the kids
    Lifestyle we would live
    Who the f**k u really is
    In my face
    All the time
    Spittin' line after line
    Broke down my wall and u got in my mind
    You's a fake shoulda known
    All the signs I was wrong
    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
    U played good
    But I'mma get u
    Gotta get it
    So I make moves
    And I'mma leave you where u at dog, chill
    Go back to square one
    Wait for something real
    Selfish nigga
    Could have helped you nigga
    Usually know betta but I felt you nigga
    I guess getting in my head was a part of the plan
    Cause in reality the only thing you giving 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

    Don't let him waste your time girl
    He's only telling lies girl
    And when he apologizes (and he will)
    Don't be believing that man
    Cause he gon' do it 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
