He Think I Don't Know
Mary J. Blige · Dance For Me [2002]
And he think I don't know
He think I don't know
And he think I don't know
He think I don't know
I don't know what gets me more
'Bout your two hour trips to the store
How they never have what you went there for
Yet you say to trust you more
Or is it the fact that you believe
That your girl is just so naive
But the one thing I can't deny
Is what I saw with my own two eyes
And he think I don't know (He must think I'm stupid)
He think I don't know
And he think I don't know
He think I don't know
On my way to work one night
As I made a left at the light
See what I saw just wasn't right
Yes what's done in darkness gon' come to light
But if you won't tell, I won't tell
Just let me leave before I go to jail
And the thing that blows my mind
Is that he walks around like [sh]it is fine
And he think I don't know (He must be crazy)
He think I don't know
And he think I don't know (He must be stupid)
Think I don't know
Think I don't know
Think I don't know
Think I don't know
[Repeat till fade with ad-libs]
