What Was I Thinking Lyrics by Tamika Scott

Family Affair

2019

[Intro]
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
What the hell was I thinking?
[Verse 1]
Sittin' here wondering, how did I get myself in this?
Took me out my character, this is so embarrassing
Here I am, tryin' to pick up the pieces of my life
Tryin' to turn a wrong into a right
[Pre-Chorus]
To have and to hold from this day forth
Were the vows you promised me
In sickness, in health, till death do us part
I took your words literally
Oh, why did you have to break my heart, boy?
'Cause I gave you everything I got, that I got
[Chorus]
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
I gave you my heart, you tore it all apart
What was I thinking?
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
I was loyal to you, nothing I wouldn't do
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
Now you made me snap, ain't no coming back
What was I thinking?
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
What the hell was I thinking?
[Verse 2]
All the years you wasted out my life
I was sleeping with the enemy, draining all my energy
I wish I could erase the day we met
Meeting you is my biggest regret
[Pre-Chorus]
To have and to hold from this day forth
Were the vows you promised, you promised me, boy
In sickness, in health (Oh), till death do us part
I took your words literally
[Chorus]
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
I gave you my heart, you tore it all apart
What was I thinking?
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
I was loyal to you, nothing I wouldn't do
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
Now you made me snap, ain't no coming back
What was I thinking?
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
What the hell was I thinking?
[Bridge]
You a liar, a cheater, a betrayer, deceitful
You're selfish, don't care about nobody but yourself
You're a heartless user, coward
How could you, you hurt me so deeply?
But what goes around comes back around
Yes, what goes around comes back around
You made your bed, now go and sleep in it
I swear I'll never be your fool again
[Chorus]
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
I gave you my heart, you tore it all apart
What was I thinking? (Oh)
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
I was loyal to you, nothing I wouldn't do
What in the world was I
Thinking, thinking, thinking? (Ooh)
Now you made me snap, ain't no coming back
What was I thinking? (No)
Thinking, thinking, thinking?
What the hell was I thinking?
