These tears I shed Were not because of you We were once lovers Never loved any other You thought I'd never recover From your love But look at me Shining like a star You with all the money Who do you think you are If you think you own me Then I'm two steps ahead Now I know for sure That you won't see my tearshed Tearshed that I'm always holding back Tearshed is what you think I do But let me tell you boy that these tears I shed Were not because of you Tearshed that I'm always holding back Tearshed is what you think I do But let me tell you boy that these tears I shed Were not because of you Now that I'm shining I can't help see you crying Is that because of your lying to me Still look at me Shining like a star Me with all my money And my fancy car Don't you think you own me And I'm two steps ahead Now I know for sure That you won't see my tearshed Tearshed that I'm always holding back Tearshed is what you think I do But let me tell you boy that these tears I shed Were not because of you Tearshed that I'm always holding back Tearshed is what you think I do But let me tell you boy that these tears I shed Were not because of you Tearshed that I'm always holding back Tearshed is what you think I do But let me tell you boy that these tears I shed Were not because of you Tearshed that I'm always holding back Tearshed is what you think I do But let me tell you boy that these tears I shed Were not because of you Were not because of you These tears I shed Were not because of you
