Nicki Minaj, Jessie Ware The Crying Game
[Nicki Minaj:] Here we go again, it's the game we love Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs Hit you with the Ace of Spade in your face and shrugged Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs We was just plannin' a wedding, Caucasian doves You was just tellin' your mans that you hate the clubs Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs Are you alone? Do you need someone? Is it too late to talk? Did I wait too long? Thousand words don't change a thing Is it only three, three words that you're missing? [Jessie Ware:] Where'd you go? Couldn't see, I was too busy Could've just said no, where would you go? I think I know Oh-oh, oh-oh We're back to playing, we're back to playing Oh-oh, oh-oh We're back to playing the crying game I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're back to playing the crying game I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're back to playing the crying game [Nicki Minaj:] Welcome to the crying game, where you lose your soul Where it ain't no E-Z Pass, you gotta use the toll Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what? Another slap to the face, another uppercut I'm just abusive by nature, not 'cause I hate ya Not 'cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya But is you stayin' or goin'? I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it How come you never show it? All this love you speak of All I want is to love and be loved (To love and be loved) I'm losin' a thing I thought I'd win And I'm comin' undone 'Cause the tears don't end [Jessie Ware:] Where'd you go? Couldn't see, I was too busy Could've just said no, where would you go? I think I know Oh-oh, oh-oh We're back to playing, we're back to playing Oh-oh, oh-oh We're back to playing the crying game I could've given everything (Everything) Don't wanna let the tears begin (Everything) We're back to playing the crying game I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're back to playing the crying game
