[Drake: talking]

I don't even need a note pad for this one right here man

Shut the lights off

Let the mind work ya know

I'd like to ummm

I'd like to take the time to dedicate this to a special somebody

Guess I'll call her my most recent addition to my collection to female disappointments


[Verse 1:]

Deceiving you are the reason that

I don't believe in finding the love that I need and

I'm Uncle Phil I switch wifey like every season

So I guess that makes you Aunt Viv

Until you take from me till the point that you can't give

And when I see you out I pass by it's offensive

But what you expect though

Kinda direct yo

Cause all that Dolce and Gabana shit was expensive

I told ya

Mr. Edwards I tried to save your daughter

But she wasn't satisfied with none of the things that I bought her

And wasn't tryna show up none of the places that I brought her

And couldn't utilize none of the things that I taught her

So I was just tryna upgrade you

I ain't ya understudy thats tryna upstage you

I was ya other buddy that tried to front page you

Crown you

Get to know the people that surround you

Funny to think that I woulda white gowned you

Cause now we sit around the studio and clown you

Oops did I let that slip

Oh my bad did I let that slip

I can't forget that quick


[Hook:]

Deceiving (you you you you deceiving)

Deceiving (you you you you are so deceiving)


[Verse 2:]

Deceiving you are the reason that

When it gets cold in November seems like it's freezing

And I fit every stereotype that y'all believe in

Cause when I say I'm serious you claim you're only teasin

I planned a trip to the tropics that you missed

So when I'm speakin you only in topic when I'm pissed

And in a couple years I guarantee you'll be thirsty

And by then I'll be lookin like Tropicana twist

What up Tessa I love you like my own mama

And ya daughters getting grown mama

And me I'm just here workin' waitin' patient

For her to be ready for to love and leave her drama

Cause I don't really wanna fight no more

And I don't wanna diss niggas when I write no more

And I don't wanna bring chicks to the crib

To watch a flick in the basement on the bed with dim lights no more

Now I'm losing a feeling

You losing appealing

You need to step it up like prints from shoes on the ceiling

Oh damn did I let that slip oh my fault did I let that slip

I can't forget that quick


[Hook:]

Deceiving (you you you you deceiving)

Deceiving (you you you you are so deceiving)


[Verse 3:]

My first reaction was damn girl

How did I swing you?

I wanted you forever now I'm something you cling to

But you was my angel, Seems like ya wings grew

Unaware you was outta state doin' ya thing too

Sayin' to my self you deceiving

You are the reason that I don't believe in finding the love that I need

In fact I know you always be lyin' when u be leavin'

Goin' to visit family promise me you ain't cheatin'

A sure thing just might fail you

Women often conduct themselves just like males do

They huddle in a group and joke about the fact that you a soft nigga

How you think cuddling with is cute

They laugh at how you think you last when you really don't

And make u think u get the ass when you really won't

And dudes do that and why these hoes stealin' it

They doin the same shit with a better job at concealin' it

So sign your name on a prenupt and then initial

She only messin with a rapper if it's beneficial

Opps did I let that slip oh my bad did I let that slip

I can't forget that quick


[Hook:]

Deceiving (you you you you deceiving)

Deceiving (you you you you are so deceiving)


[Drake: talking]

Feel like uh

I feel like we back man (yeah)

It's like See, see the problem with these other brothers is that they makin love songs

We makin beyond and above songs you know what I'm sayin

We sayin real stuff we not bitter it's life you know

If ya'll females would pull it together

Maybe we would have something better to talk about
