I had asked myself
So, what would you do if she left?
What would you do?
Would I find someone to distract myself?
Detach myself
Get my mind off you
This is far from the end
Got a nigga in a frenzy
Only you would understand
Oh, when I used to be your man
You tell me, tell me
Over and over again
If it’s too much pressure, babe
Maybe I’m not the one for you, baby
If you gotta question me, babe
Think of all I’ve done for you, baby
I said I know that
You’re going to find someone
That’s ready for you
That teach me a lesson, baby
You’re gonna find someone who gets it, babe
Teach me a lesson, babe
Baby, ooh
Teach me a lesson, babe
Yeah, oh yeah
You just left town
Yeah, you skated on me
Bounce, switch locations on me
Can’t keep waiting on me
Made a mistake, baby
Now you’re tryna find a replacement for me, babe
Oh, hold up
Why we broke up
Guess I don’t know, love?
Guess I don’t know
Baby, I had to grow up
I don’t want you with no one
No one, yeah
If it’s too much pressure, babe
Maybe I’m not the one for you, baby
If you gotta question me, babe
Think of all I’ve done for you, baby
I said I know that
You’re going to find someone
That’s ready for you
Teach me a lesson, baby
Teach me, baby
You’re going to find someone
Who gets it, babe
Teach me a lesson, baby
Oh no no no
