And I, I wouldn't trade it for the world, world, world And I, just so fucking lucky you're my girl, girl, girl And I, I wouldn't trade it for anything No, no, not anything and you Yeah, I got a brand new Benz, crazy right? Brand new Benz Got less miles on it than I do friends Remember when we laid at you and Paige's crib Was there so long, I could've paid rent Remember when we couldn't get shit? Best thing 'bout being broke is you don't spend shit Remember that Christmas? We had a wish list We couldn't afford nothin' but we still get shit ironically Those were the times I felt the richest All those times that we spent by the pool, girl Was too broke to even take you to the zoo, girl Maybe it's because I had you, girl Was thinkin' 'bout when we went to London and Paris And gave each other times that we cherished Remember when you saw the Eiffel Tower And you got so drunk, threw up? Yup, you were so embarrassed See those are times I can't let go, I can't let go Man, I hate to see you single in the club Lookin' for kisses and hugs So you're sippin' on XO 'til I snatch you up like, "Let's go" And I, I wouldn't trade it for the world, world, world And I, just so fucking lucky you're my girl, girl, girl And I, I wouldn't trade it for anything No, no, not anything and you Can't nobody do it like (Do it) like, (do it) like, (do it) like My bad for those long, long nights Long nights when I left you in the sheets Sorry for when you had to cry yourself to sleep Tried to count on me and I made you count sheep Sorry when you put your faith in me I was unfaithful, disgraceful, distasteful Yeah, I know you're not supposed to have your cake and eat it too Crazy how these hoes always kept my plate full But what about the emails you hacked in? I know we hate to live in the past tense It's been weird since I went out west And did an album with no ID and ain't came back since Now we're the best in the city, I rep for the city That's about the time that you left for the city You and all your girls moved to NY I should've known now how you watch Sex and the City I know we ain't close but, I gotta focus on blowin' up I know I promised that I'd be there, and really did I ever show up? I know I wasn't honest to ya, girl Almost broke every promise to ya girl Brought problems to your world And you said, "How could you just lie to me? I thought you'd die for me?" I was scared you'd find somebody who would treat you like you're supposed to You the type niggas get close to, get close to and then propose to And when Thanksgivings come around I ain't tryna bring hoes through to Mama So it's back to the drama "No, I don't know that number" "Well, why the hell you text it?" Heartbreak Hotel, man, with no exit, just checked in Young and living reckless And I, I wouldn't trade it for the world, world, world And I, just so fucking lucky you're my girl, girl, girl And I, I wouldn't trade it for anything No, no, not anything and you Can't nobody do it like (Do it) like, (do it) like, (do it) like I can't imagine myself without you I need a whole lot of help without you Me and my granny, me and my family both agreed, yeah Damn, you're such a G, I'll hold you down forever, baby And I, I wouldn't trade it for the world, world, world And I, just so fucking lucky your my girl, girl, girl And I, I wouldn't trade it for anything No, no, not anything and you Can't nobody do it like (Do it) like, (do it) like, (do it) like My bad for those long, long nights, long night, long nights My bad for those long, long nights
