Ne-Yo – Ameture lyrics

(Verse)
Hey, beating yourself up
Tryna figure up how you wound up out in the cold
Not only did you lose me, but the one that you was
Cheatin' on me also left ya alone, no, I can't speak for her
But that be mean(?) you had my mind and was clockin' my soul
But it fell apart cuz you couldn't recall first lie that you told

(Chorus)
Listen, baby, if you're gonna be a liar
At least try to be good at it
If you're gonna be a cheater
Our deal is not to be caught
Got her on the roots(?)
Or don't even play the game
Cuz you got me so high
Don't know what you doin'
Such an ameture

(Verse 2)
Beating myself up
Tryna figure out how you fooled me as long as you did
Mad at myself, so anxious for love that I wasn't payin' attention
But you got the best of me, gave you the best, best believe
Never again, said I'm way to smart, so believe me, baby, never again

(Chorus)
Listen, baby, if you're gonna be a liar
At least try to be good at it
If you're gonna be a cheater
Our deal is not to be caught
Got her on the roots(?)
Or don't even play the game
Cuz you got me so high
Don't know what you doin'
Such an ameture

(Bridge)
Smokin' mills(?), deception
Pillow saltin' tears, rejection
Your hopes and tears connect
When our heart is treated with no care or discretion
Ladies, what you fear is protection
From fellas that don't know about affection
But I'd try some love and affection
Only Mr. Smith and Weston(?)

(Chorus)
Baby, if you're gonna be a liar
At least try to be good at it
If you're gonna be a cheater
Our deal is not to be caught
Got her on the roots(?)
Or don't even play the game
Cuz you got me so high
Don't know what you doin'
Such an ameture
