VA, yeah, New York, Atlanta, DC

LA, New Jersey, Philly, say what, say what

You never know a good thing 'til I'm gone

And you'll be spending many, many nights home alone

You won't be seeing me around your way, no-no

And if you don't get it together, baby, I can't stay

Don't be comin' in my face tryna tell me you love me

You shoulda thought once or twice, sacrifice and make it right

It's the thing that you do, make me not love you

So just wait, and you'll see, get no other love like me

You never know I'm for real until I leave, uh-huh

And when I pack up my clothes, don't be calling me

You won't be seeing me anymore, no-no

'Cause when I'm long, long gone, I won't be back in this door

Don't be comin' in my face tryna tell me you love me

You shoulda thought once or twice, sacrifice and make it right

It's the thing that you do, make me not love you

So just wait, and you'll see, get no other love like me

To my east side people to my west side

To all my bitches who sat home crying

Over these niggas and over these fellas

Shake 'em off like Jello, uh-huh

To my east side people to my west side

To all my bitches who sat home crying

Over these niggas and over these fellas

Shake 'em off like Jello, uh-huh

Don't be comin' in my face tryna tell me you love me

You shoulda thought once or twice, sacrifice and make it right

It's the thing that you do, make me not love you

So just wait, and you'll see, get no other love like me

I used to stick closer to your side then a beeper

'Til you smoked that cheaper reefer

Now you loony as fita, shut up

Don't say a word, yep, I got the word

Yeah, I heard it from a little bird

Now I'm out the door about 44

You don't know?

Get your bags and your things take the door

Don't take this shit no more

When you leave, you can leave out the back door

Fucker, stupid niggas

Always think they can play somebody

Y'all know who y'all are

Tryna run about three, or four, five women at one time

Then you wanna come back all in our faces

And tellin' me how much you love me and all that bullshit

Whatever man, fuck you

A'ight, I'm out
