Talk A Good Game lyrics

[Verse 1: Kelly Rowland]

You talk a good game

I really wanna believe you

But I got questions in my head like

Is it true

What to do

I don't wanna see myself

(Play the fool, baby, ooh)

Uh uh, no way

I prefer you keep it real with me

Cause I-I

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]

Don't think I can take another broken promise

Why do things the hard way when you can just be honest?

I'mma do what I'm supposed to do

If you tell me you got us

Why do things the hard way?

'Cause if you give me your love and I give you mine's back

If you get to acting up, I cut you off like that

I don't think I can take another broken promise

Why do things the hard way?

[Verse 2: Kelly Rowland]

If love is free and talk is cheap

(Don't make me pay for all your mistakes ,boy)

Finally go just be free

Thought you'd get to know me

(Don't tell the same stories)

[Bridge: Kelly Rowland]

You talk a good game

I really wanna believe you

Mmm, I

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]

Don't think I can take another broken promise

Why do things the hard way when you can just be honest?

I'mma do what I'm supposed to do

If you tell me you got us

Why do things the hard way?

'Cause if you give me your love and I give you mine's back

If you get to acting up, I cut you off like that

I don't think I can take another broken promise

Why do things the hard way?

[Verse 3: Kevin Cossom]

Promises and promises

You say they all counterfeit

If we start off telling lies

This love will never amount to shit

You really think me, I'm the one?

Or you just like the sound of it?

If the motive's all wrong, heartaches what you 'bound to get

Give me one shot, better pour it quick

I'mma kill it girl, full clip

You wearing all white, I'm in all black

We standing by the pulpit

You say I do, I say I do

I'm tired of all the bullshit

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]

I don't think I can take another broken promise

Why do things the hard way when you can just be honest?

I'mma do what I'm supposed to do

If you tell me you got us

Why do things the hard way?

'Cause if you give me your love and I give you mine's back

If you get to acting up, I cut you off like that

I don't think I can take another broken promise

Why do things the hard way?

[Outro: Kelly Rowland]

You talk a good game

I really wanna believe you
