[Verse 1]
Haven't spoken since I left New York
But I guess you left me here with no choice
Didn’t bother comin' back that night
You didn't even wish me a safe flight
You aren’t the n***a that I thought you were
Just a boy, will address you as such
And a boy could never be enough
I let myself down, I'll let myself up

[Chorus]
You can blame it on temptation
Blamin' lack of communication
And all we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Baby, you could blame it on temptation
Blamin' lack of communication
And all we needed was a single convеrsation
And maybe just a little motivation
Lately, wе just been on different pages

[Verse 2]
Never asked for much, not even my way
That was enough to have you lookin' at me sideways
But not enough to make a n***a come home and right all his wrongs
I knew you never loved me, I still let you lead me on
Baby, oh, baby
Where would we be if we just had learned be patient?
All them "What ifs" and all them late night conversations 'bout what we could have
It ain't nothin' but understood that I let a n***a play me
Won’t let you do it twice, won’t do the same thing
Won't let you make it right, no need in changing
No need in claiming me
And as much as you know it pains me
[Chorus]
You blame it on temptation
Blamin’ lack of communication
And all we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Baby, you could blame it temptation
Blamin' lack of communication
And all we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Lately, we just been on different pages
