true story lyrics

This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized
'Bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play
No, this is not what I need
Gimme love, love, gimme love
Not what I want
Gimme love, love, gimme love
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, love
I'll play the villain if you need me to
I know how this goes, yeah
I'll be the one you pay to see, play the scene
Roll the cameras please
Turning like a dime
Wasting all their time
Sneaking like a creep in the night
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized
'Bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play
No, this is not what I need
Gimme love, love, gimme love
Not what I want
Gimme love, love, gimme love
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, love
I'll play the bad girl if you need me to
If it makes you feel better
I'll be the one you love to hate, can't relate
Too much on my plate
See it in your eyes
You got too much time
For fun, you like to pray for my demise
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
And I'll be good in it too
This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized
'Bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play
No, this is not what I need
Gimme love, love, gimme love
Not what I want
Gimme love, love, gimme love
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, love
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Not what I need
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, love
