Story Behind The Song
A guy who could never cheat on his girlfriend simply because the women he wanted to have affairs with were interested in me was spreading all sorts of rumors about me behind my back. He also was paranoid that his girlfriend whom he was willing to cheat on had a crush on me, yet we were only friends. He ended up telling her all sorts of lies and made empty promises to her to "keep her on a string" as the song goes...

Lyrics
I don't want to hear about her
and she don't wanna hear about me
"he said" "she said" this
but you say this and that
but we all see what's goin' on
it's about time you leave
drama queen take a bow
for all the sh*# that you lay down all the time
cause your act is so damn tired
no more need to conspire & play your game
I don't wanna hear how you'll try
to set the record straight & smooth out the ride
why you tell your lies
on others you make bleed
to make you look better
and help you supersede
well I think you'd change your name
if it offered you some gain
& you'd promise her a ring
just to keep her on a string just in case
don't you play your game
