[RaVaughn:]
You manipulate and dictated
What I'm supposed to think
I don't understand how you
Swept in and blinded me
I was so in love,
Yea I was so dedicated to you (yeaahh)
Thought everything was perfect
And I thought nothing would change
Now all of a sudden
I can see right through your games
And I can't believe I gave my whole life to you

[Hook:]
It hurts so much inside
I don't know how you controlled my mind
And there's no way you can make it right
Don't think I could forgive you if I tried

[Chorus:]
Cus you brainwashed me
You had me thinking we would last forever
But now it's over
I really need to clear my head and start over
I don't know how I let you brainwash me
You have me thinking I could live without you
Why didn't I see it,
I must have really been a fool to believe it
But I believed it

[Donnie:]
Girl you got me out here
Trying to figure out just how to breathe
I know which way to go
It's been so long since I was free
I often change my life
You left me hung out dry when you (left me on)
Thought everything was perfect
And thought nothing would change
Now all of a sudden
And I could see right through your games
And I can't believe I gave my whole life to you (noooo)

[Hook:]
It hurts so much inside
I don't know how you controlled my mind
And there's no way you can make it right
Don't think I could forgive you if I try

[Chorus:]
Cus you brainwashed me (hey, yeah)
You had me thinking we would last forever (thinking we would last forever)
But now it's over (baby)
I really need to clear my head and start over
I don't know how I let you brainwash me (do brainwash me)
You have me thinking I could live without you (I could live without you)
Why didn't I see it,
I must have really been a fool to believe it
But I believed it

[RaVaughn:]
I closed my eyes
Everything around me is much clearer
These eyes so blind

[Donnie:]
And I would let you take over my whole life
I'm gonna start a new
And it's gonna be without you

[RaVaughn:]
Make sure this never ever happens again
But I won't be too afraid to take a chance
And I'll never let another dude

[Donnie:]
I swear to myself I'll never let another girl brainwash me

[Chorus:]
You brainwashed me
You had me thinking we would last forever
But now it's over
I really need to clear my head and start over
I don't know how I let you brainwash me
You had me thinking I could live without you
Why didn't I see it,
I must have really been a fool to believe it
But I believed it
