Joan Of Arc Lyrics

by Ryan Leslie

I wake up to detect messages in my email
This what I get for messin' wit pretty females
It's a crazy life - yeah it's a mad world
Where good dudes will betray you over a bad girl

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e103758-ryan_leslie~joan_of_arc_lyrics.html ]
And bad girls'll take advantage of good dudes
Smear your name in the press and call it good news
Oh he hot now? oh he blowin' up?
Call the cops - restraining order for showin' up

If I was you I'd be seeing if I was ok
We had a problem you didn't call me the whole day
Your girlfriend picked up the phone and hung up on me
Who is she to do that - she don't even know me

F* the "he say she say",
The 'blame game' blasting kanye on the freeway
I called my mother up for advice she said son, you should hold your heart
Girls play the victim so well - joan of arc

CHORUS

I took a chance on romance, I loved you
And now that it burns, still I yearn to touch you
And the question is
Who gon' love you like I love you, baby
Who gon' love you like I love you, now?
Who gon' love you like I love you, baby, baby

VERSE 2

Listen, I know you must be mad look how you lost it
You should work it out wit me tho I'm the one who caused it
I should've cleaned the skeletons from my closet
Drivin' to my apocalypse with 400 horses

Drop dead gorgeous - unfair advantage
You deserve an emmy award for all your antics
Caught up in a battle of curse word semantics
Tryna find our way back home from atlantis

You had your father call me - zero empathy
Reading about your new first date like it's meant for me
Tryna stay focused on winnin' - yeah, hold my course
Meanwhile you infiltrated my heart - a trojan horse

They say in love and war - all's fair
But when you break up and go out - yeah, they all stare
Obfuscating the real reason we've grown apart
You played the victim so well - joan of arc

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Tryna figure out what the past meant
And since when a birthday gift is harassment
A rose gold bracelet nothing subliminal
You called your lawyer up said my actions were criminal

And now as i'm sittin with a pad in this motherf*ckin holding cell
I'm thinking how could you do this to me? you cold as hell
A young emperor exiled - Bonaparte
Everything I fought for, lost - joan of arc

CHORUS
