Tekst piosenki 'Never Really Was' wykonawcy Mario Winans

[Talking]
I just need to talk to you for a second
it won't take me long
i gotta get this off my chest
Listen!

[Verse 1]
I'm really glad that you can take out time
cuz i got a lot on my mind
i never thought that you would be the kind
to do that dirt and hang ya head
babygirl won't you make me understand
why you would say the things you said to me
you made me believe that we would be forever
but it was all a lie

[chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me
why did you say you believed in me
it's all because of you my security
it's driving me crazy baby
if it never really was what you had for me
why did you say that you wanted me, needed me
if it never really was what you meant for me
tell me

[Verse 2]
Now i know i've asked you time and time again
were you sure you didn't want another man
i would've understood it back then
but you had to wait until i gave in
now i know i've been a sucker for your love
baby tell me what the hell was i thinking of
i should of listened to them when they told me
but i learned the hard way

[Chorus]

Why would you play with my heart
when i gave it all
it's tearing me apart girl
all you had to do is say so
i would of let you go
you're making it so hard girl

Why would you play with my heart
when i gave it all
it's tearing me apart girl
all you had to do is say so
i would of let you go
you're making it so hard girl

Tell me why, why baby

[Chorus 2x]

[chorus (girls part)]
If it never really was what you seen in me
why did you say you believed in me
(i just tried to give you what you needed)
it's all because of you my security
it's driving me crazy baby
(would you tell me why you lied to me)
if it never really was what you had for me
why did you say you wanted me, needed me
(don't know)
if it never really was what you meant for me
tell me
