I was just with you on your birthday
And I met your whole family
But on the way home you kept looking at your phone
Couldn’t help but ask “Who is that babe?”
And the way you said “Nobody”
I knew the rumors, they were more than just rumors
Maybe I should have noticed
You were just half in love
Maybe I should have noticed
That I’m not the only one
Somebody told me that you
Got another lover you’ve been giving it to
Can’t believe I believed you, you were my girl
Somebody saw you with him
Now you’re tryna tell me that he’s only a friend
Can’t believe I believed that you were my girl
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Lately you’ve been making excuses
And the stories ain’t adding up
But I just go blind when you look into my eyes
Every time that I tried to confront you
There’s always somewhere you’ve gotta run to
The warning signs, they were more than just warning signs
Maybe I should have noticed
You were just half in love
Maybe I should have noticed
That I’m not the only one
(‘Cause) Somebody told me that you
Got another lover you’ve been giving it to
Can’t believe I believed you, you were my girl
Somebody saw you with him
Now you’re tryna tell me that he’s only a friend
Can’t believe I believed that you were my girl
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
You were my girl
Maybe I should have noticed
You were just half in love
(You were just half in love)
Maybe I should have noticed
That I’m not the only one
(You were my girl)
Yeah
Maybe I should have noticed
That I’m not the only one
Somebody told me that you
Got another lover you’ve been giving it to
Can’t believe I believed you, you were my girl
Somebody saw you with him
Now you’re tryna tell me that he’s only a friend
Can’t believe I believed that you were my girl
(That you were mine)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
You were my girl
Maybe I should have noticed
You were just half in love
(You were half in love)
Maybe I should have noticed
That I’m not the only one
(You were my girl)
