[Verse 1]

I got nothing left to say

And you got nothing left to play

You got nothing left to place

Sick and tired of your games

Don't believe in what you say


[Pre-Chorus]

Is it written in your eyes?

You can try, you can try

But you can't disguise

And I don't need it anymore


[Chorus]

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

I don't need it anymore


[Verse 2]

You keep your cards to your chest

You got lies in your bed, you got lies in your bed

You been sleeping on the truth

Never tell it, do you?


[Pre-Chorus]

Is it written in your eyes?

You can try, you can try

But you can't disguise

And I don't need it anymore


[Chorus]

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

I don't need it anymore


[Bridge]

Why you have to be so cruel?

Why don't you just play it straight?

Tryna play me for a fool

Why you gotta play that way?

Why you havе to be so cruel?

Why don't you just play it straight?

Tryna play me for a fool

Why you gotta play that way?


[Chorus]

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta bе cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

I don't need it anymore

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta play that way?

Oh-woah-woah-ooh

I don't know, I don't know

Why you gotta be cryptic?

Why you gotta be cryptic?

I don't need it anymore
