  • I just can't believe this, man
    It's just another night of these thoughts
    Can't get this out of my head
    Yeah

    Somebody said they saw you
    The person you were kissing wasn't me
    And I would never ask you
    I just kept it to myself

    I don't wanna know
    If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
    'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
    And if you're creepin', please don't let it show
    Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
    Oh, oh, baby

    I think about it when I hold you
    When lookin' in your eyes, I can't believe
    I don't need to know the truth
    Baby, keep it to yourself

    I don't wanna know
    If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
    'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
    And if you're creepin', please don't let it show
    Oh, baby, I don't wanna know

    Did he touch you better than me? (Touch you better than me)
    Did he watch you fall asleep? (Watch you fall asleep, baby)
    Did you show him all those things that you used to do to me? (Oh, do to me, baby)
    If you're better off that way (better off that way)
    Baby, all that I can say (all that I can say)
    Just go on and do your thing and don't come back to me (oh, stay away from me, baby)

    Yo, I don't wanna know your whereabouts or how you're movin'
    I know when you in the house or when you cruisin' (that's right)
    It's been proven, my love you're abusin'
    I can't understand how a man got you choosin' (yeah)
    Undecided, I came and provided
    My undivided, you came and denied it (why?)
    Don't even try it, I know when you lyin' (I know when you lyin')
    Don't even do that, I know why you cryin' (stop cryin')
    I'm not applyin' no pressure, just wanna let you know
    That I don't wanna let you go (I don't wanna let you go)
    And I don't wanna let you leave
    Can't say I didn't let you breathe
    Gave you extra cheese (come on), put you in a SUV
    You wanted ice so I made you freeze
    Made you hot like the West Indies (that's right)
    Now it's time you invest in me
    'Cause if not, then it's best you leave, holla, yeah

    I don't wanna know
    If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
    'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
    And if you're creepin', please don't let it show
    Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
    If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
    'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
    And if you're creepin', please don't let it show
    Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
    If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
    'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
    And if you're creepin', please don't let it show
    Oh, baby, I don't wanna know Writer/s: Chauncey Lamont Hawkins, Erick S. Sermon, Ethne Patric Brennan, Mario Mendell Winans, Michael Carlos Jones, Nicholas Domini Ryan, Parrish Joseph Smith, Roma Shane Ryan
