Thanx 4 Nothin' Songtext
von Mariah Carey

Uh, this is dedicated to all the ladies out there
Who′s tired of gettin' played, ya know
Y′all know what this is (y'all know what this is)
So-so def and your girl Mimi (ain't even gotta say it)
Thanks for nothin′, no, no, baby (yeah)
You were just playin′ a game (MC)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh)
Thanks for nothin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (yeah)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (you know the feeling)
You were just playing a game

I can′t even know what to say
I've been hurt, I′ve been played and I'm so ashamed
I can′t even cry, it's that deep
You just lie and you cheat like it's nothing


See, you said that you loved me, too, and so I trusted you
But I guess that subconsciously I knew
But I didn′t wanna face the truth, that I was only being used
And you was just fronting

Aye, boy, thanks for nothing (say what?)
I never knew enough about you, babe
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I′m brokenhearted and shattering
And you were just playing a game
Nothing anyone could do to convince me, babe
I was living in a lie, just a masquerade
Now I only know that I'll never be the same
But you were just playing a game (sing with me)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, uh-huh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, uh-huh)
Thanks for nothin′ (uh-huh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (uh-huh)
You were just playing a game

Everyday and every night, I stay by the phone (uh-huh)
Never go no place, so just in case you call, I'll be home (oh)
Seem like all I do is think about our pseudo romance
While you′re somewhere burnin' diesel in the streets havin′ laughs


Somebody say you know what I'm goin' through
You′ve been left with nothin′
Too much you can't count on one hand
Sing it, three, four, five, six
Seven days a week, you were drowning in tears
He was so insincere
Now you′re laying up in bed every night singing

Aye, boy, thanks for nothing (yeah)
I never knew enough about you, babe (uh-huh)
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I'm brokenhearted and shattering
And you were just playing a game
No, nothing anyone could do to convince me, babe (yeah)
I was living in a lie, just a masquerade
Now, I only know that I′ll never be the same
(I can't even know what to say)
But you were just playing a game

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, uh-huh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, uh-huh)
So, thanks for nothin′ (uh-huh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
You was just fronting, so thanks for nothin'
