Shit is kinda crazy, how you work me, lady
Thought I wouldn’t notice, I can see you changin’
When did all this happen? (Oh) All this extra foreplay?
How you gon’ try to play me then go and try to kiss my face?
I want you to know that it’s over, get your shit right now (Right now)
Go, ho, I guess the good guys always play the fool
I want you to know that I’ll be fine if you not my girl
Don’t need you anymore, don’t love you anymore
‘Cause you’re a cold desperado
No more lies and me feelin’ like something’s wrong
You got me, good one, baby
Why’d you break my heart?
Never thought you were this way before, huh, but now I know
But I ain’t gonna run away
And little mama, you won’t put me out ’cause I bought this house, so leave
If you so fly, be gone
If you the shit, here’s some toilet paper
You did me a favor
I want you to know that it’s over, get your shit right now (Right now)
Go, ho, I guess the good guys always play the fool
I want you to know that I’ll be fine if you not my girl
Don’t need you anymore, don’t love you anymore
‘Cause you’re a cold desperado
