JoJo – “Sabotage” Lyrics:
Intro: JoJo
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Verse 1
Choices, everybody make ’em
And the truth is, something I’ve been thinking ’bout
Respect, you say I don’t give you
Maybe I don’t know how
Excuses, ooh, I got a lot of them
Reasons, why I am the way I am
Regret, you say I don’t feel it
Maybe I don’t know how
Pre-Chorus: JoJo
Man, it got so ugly (Ugly)
I was begging you to stay when you left our house
Said you never loved me (Loved me)
Had me ducking all the venom flying out your mouth
Ooh, closed your heart and you locked me out
Ooh, took a beautiful love and I turned it out
Chorus: JoJo
Every time I hear them talking ’bout you
I wonder, did I play myself
And sabotage love?
Every time I think about me and you (Know I ain’t right)
I wonder, did I play myself (When I think about it)
And sabotage love?
Verse 2
Mirrors, tryin’ not to break ’em all
Bad luck, seems like they’re always falling
Feelings, now I’ve gotta bury them
And I don’t know how
Memories of us in picture frames
Set a fire to ’em just to feed the pain
Pre-Chorus: JoJo
How it got so ugly (Ugly)
I was begging you to stay when you left our house
Said you never loved me (Loved me)
Had me ducking all the venom flying out your mouth
Ooh, closed your heart and you locked me out
Ooh, took a beautiful love and I turned it out
Chorus: JoJo
Every time I hear them talking ’bout you (Know I ain’t right)
I wonder did I play myself (When I think about it)
And sabotage love?
Every time I think about me and you (Know I ain’t right)
I wonder, did I play myself (When I think about it)
And sabotage love?
Bridge: CHIKA
Yeah, I’m often at it admittedly got a habit
Of getting in my own way
While I’m wishing that I could have it
The picket fences and pictures of family
And foreign fabrics, I know
It’d be in front of me if I could only grasp it
I want it, and so did you, 100
Was overdue, was runnin’
You got the clue took warnings as feelings too
I wanna get over you, but I can only blame myself
Think it’s time to put these feelings on the shelf
For my health, yeah
I’m not the best at containin’ all my discretions
I’m not a saint, but damn it if I don’t come with confessions
It’s easy to block our blessings, mistakes are for learning lessons
I used this shit as a letter, apologies to my exes, yeah
Chorus
Every time I hear them talking ’bout you (Know I ain’t right)
I wonder, did I play myself (When I think about it)
And sabotage love?
Every time I think about me and you (Know I ain’t right)
I wonder, did I play myself (When I think about it)
And sabotage love? (Sabotage)
Outro: JoJo and CHIKA
Every time I hear them talking ’bout you
Apologies to my exes
I wonder, did I play myself?
Apologies to my exes
I used this shit as a letter
Apologies to my exes
Every time I think about me and you (Oh)
I wonder, did I play myself?
Ah-ah-ah-ah
