Take It As A Compliment - by 4Lyn, from the album "Take It As A Compliment" (2004)

Lyrics:
Take it as a compliment,
you know what it's for 3x

I loved you, no question.
Just us, no second guessin'.
When it came to loyality
we had substance and the right strategy.
I hate you for sure!
There's no "you and me" no more.
This wound you cannot heal.
No love, no trust if there's no deal!

Chorus:

Take it as a compliment
that I don't freak out on you,
that I smile the way I always do.
All the time you lied to me,
hear me laugh inside of me,
cuz' the only one who played himself is you.

We were brothers to the blood.
Nothing in this world
could come between me and my "buddy",
me and my "friend" me and my "brother",
but now these memories make me wanna throw up!
I wish you would have seen,
how I've felt and where I've been...
From heaven to hell an back,
but now I laugh about the way that you act!
So, you thought it was cool -
to treat me like a fool
when yourself is the idiot?
Wake up and smell the coffee!
Phrasing. Don't think! Don't speak!
Just back up off me!

Chorus:

Take it as a compliment
that I don't freak out on you,
That I smile the way I always do.
All the time you've lied to me.
Hear me laugh inside of me,
cuz' the only one who played himself is you, you, you, you...

Take it as a compliment,
you know what it's for 3x

Take it as a compliment
that I don't freak out on you,
Cuz' the only one who played himself is you!
