Song Lyrics

They think you're an angel, a heart of gold
I must be a real bad girl to treat you so
You painted a picture, put me in the frame
Now you get sympathy and I get all the blame

Fooled all of our friends
Fine, you can have them
Hours or days, though I don't know when

Time will tell
Yeah, you may have got it full now
But you gon' mess up somehow
Time will tell
Even though the fact is you play ghetto tactics
Served you well
I've seen the side that you hide nobody knows
But it's gon' show, it's gon' show

I call you Mr. Blanks, you're so see-through
But I'm unbreakable when it comes to you
So do your worst, I'll still come first
Cause one day it's gonna hurt
You'll get what you deserve

Time will tell
Yeah, you may have got it full now
But you gon' mess up somehow
Time will tell
Even though the fact is you play ghetto tactics
Served you well
I've seen the side that you hide nobody knows
But it's gon' show, it's gon' show

One day you're gonna push the line just a little
Caught between your lies and the truth in the middle
Gonna see the face that you hid so well

Time will tell
Yeah, you may have got it full now
But you gon' mess up somehow
Time will tell
Even though the fact is you play ghetto tactics
Served you well
I've seen the side that you hide nobody knows
But it's gon' show, it's gon' show

Time will tell, (time will tell)
Time will tell, (time will tell)
Served you well, (time will tell)
Time will tell, (time will tell)
Time will tell
