Yeah, oh yeah, ayy, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah ayy, yeah
Baby, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I’m lonely, baby
It’s like my friends don’t know me
Girl that used to be my homie (My homie)
Left me with a dream she sold me (Dream she sold me, yeah)
Even the dreams get lonely
Left me here at three in the mornin’
Questionin’ all the things you told me (Told me)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
You got lost in the heat of the moment
Baby, if you need it, show it
And if you ever need it or want it, I got you, you know this
And if you ever home alone and need a little company, I’ll swing right over
Baby, I’ll be right over
Invite me right over, over, over
I said I know we ain’t on the same page no more
And that’s a shame that we ain’t, we used to be so close
Yes, I’m down and I’m drownin’ in my sorrows, babe (Baby, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
You don’t miss me, babe
Don’t know why you’re tryin’ to convince me, babe
Know there’s been somebody else since me, babe
Think I might do the same, don’t tempt me, baby
Hit the party and get friendly
Honestly no, I don’t got it in me
It’s no fun when you’re not here with me
It’s no wonder you’re not here with me, yeah
Yet you tell me there’s no way
Yes, you tell me there’s no way, way, way (Yeah, yeah)
She’s like, “How you figure?”
Girl, I seen you around here with him
Trust me, I heard a lot about him
Tell me where you found him
He won’t get around you, no, I won’t allow it, no (Nuh-uh)
Guess it’s over now, if you think I don’t know by now
Can we slow it down and sort it out now?
You got lost in the heat of the moment
Baby, if you need it, show it
And if you ever need it or want it, I got you, you know this
And if you ever home alone and need a little company, I’ll swing right over
Baby, I’ll be right, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Seen what I said right?
Heard what I said right?
I’m a boss and you see it, right?
You took a loss and you see it, right?
We could stop, we could rewind
Would you call in the meantime?
Ain’t no problem, we’ll be fine
Would you come with me tonight?
All the stories you rewrite
That’s a lie, what it seems like
You know you talkin’ to me, right?
You could tell me anything, right?
Yeah, you always got a green light
Yeah, you always, always, always, always, always
