What You Did to Me

Waiting alone beneath the broken street lights

Echoes of your promises lost in the night

You said you'd be here by nine

Instead you took your time

You didn't think to call me, boy

Here I sit, trying not to cry

Asking myself why you do this to me, oh baby

Since you're not around for me

To tell you, baby, face to face

I'm writing you this letter

And this is what I have to say

All I really wanted was some of your time

Instead, you told me lies

When someone else was on your mind

What'd you do to me? Look what you did to me

(What'd you do? Oh baby)

I thought that you were someone who would do me right

(Do me right)

Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry

(Made me cry)

What'd you do to me? Can't take what you did to me

Now I see what you've been doin' wrong, blamed me all along

And made a fool of me, baby, you got it all wrong

Thought I was strong, but I was so blind

Now I find my peace in leaving behind

Since you're not around for me

To tell you, baby, face to face

I'm writing you this letter

And this is what I have to say

All I really wanted was some of your time

Instead, you told me lies

When someone else was on your mind

What'd you do to me? Look what you did to me

(What'd you do? Oh baby)

I thought that you were someone who would do me right

(Do me right)

Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry

(Made me cry)

What'd you do to me? Can't take what you did to me

Time heals all wounds, they say but what about trust?

Now all I have is memories, fading into dust

I gave you my heart, but you let it fall

Now I’m rising up taller, standing tall at last

What'd you do to me? Oh, what'd you do?

You broke my heart in two, but I’m through with the pain

Moving on, to brighter days, forgetting your name

What'd you do to me? Still askin' why

But I’ll be fine, baby, I’ll be fine
