Oh, I never done this before

Never wanna do this again

Wrong turn on a dusty road

I did it to myself, I can't pretend

Well, I learned just a little too late

Good God, I must've been blind

'Cause she got me for everything

Everything, everything, alright

Like my daddy, I'm a gambling man

Never been afraid to roll the dice

But when I put my bet on her

Little Miss Snake Eyes ruined my life

She better sleep with one eye open

Better make sure to lock her doors

'Cause once I get my hands on her, I'ma ooh

Natalie, she ran away with all my money

And she did it for fun

Natalie, she's probably out there thinkin' it's funny

Tellin' everyone

Well, I'm diggin' a ditch for this gold diggin' bitch

Watch out, she's quick

Look out for a pretty little thing named

Natalie, if you see her tell her I'm coming

She'd better run

The good Lord better bless your soul

'Cause I done already cursed your name

Don't matter which way you go

Payback's gonna come your way

You'll be begging me, please, please, please

And I'ma look at you and laugh, laugh, laugh

While you sit there and cry for me

Cry for me, cry for me all night

I'll spend a lifetime in jail

(Yeah that's what I'll do)

I'll be smiling in my cell

(Yeah thinking 'bout you)

Can't nobody save you now

So there ain't no use in trying

Once I get my hands on you, I'ma ooh

Natalie, she ran away with all my money

And she did it for fun

Natalie, she's probably out there thinkin' it's funny

Tellin' everyone

Well, I'm diggin' a ditch for this gold diggin' bitch

Watch out, she's quick

Look out for a pretty little thing named

Natalie, if you see her tell her I'm coming

She'd better run

I should've known better

(I should've known better)

'Cause when we were together

('Cause when we were together)

She never said forever

(She never said forever)

I'm a fool that played in her game, hey!

Natalie, she ran away with all my money

And she did it for fun

Natalie, she's probably out there thinkin' it's funny

Tellin' everyone

Well, I'm diggin' a ditch for this gold diggin' bitch

Watch out, she's quick

Look out for a pretty little thing named

Natalie, if you see her tell her I'm coming

She'd better run
