Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh
Oh
Baby, I
It'll never get that bad
It'll never get that bad
[Refrain]
Shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Baby, I shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Baby, I shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
[Verse 1]
Maybe I should've stopped at a good time
Tell them pretty eyes and them pretty thighs
Goodbye for the night, got a early rise
You mad at me, what a tragedy
Made you majesty, it's riveting
I'm pivoting, but that one left drastically
Feel like I'm in Gangland
How this bitch playin' with me?
You made me a chained man
My love was too good for you, really (Clearly)
Tell them I wasn't everything you asked me for
Tell them I didn't change your life, we both know
[Refrain]
Baby, I shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Baby, I shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Maybe I shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Baby, I shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
[Chorus]
Ever seen a fist in the cold? Cut my whole world enough
It'll never get that bad
Wanna see a **** money fucked up, bitch, you got me fucked up
It'll never get that bad
No ice on my neck, no Fiji on the jet
****, it'll never get that bad
This ain't Russian roulette, what you expect?
Bitch, it'll never get that bad
[Verse 2]
Now you're supposed to be a friend of mine
Yet you turned cold at the drop of a dime
Oh, I see you wavering every time the wind blows
Got me peeking out of this window's soul
Shame how you pull on my heart strings, oh
And every time I try make it better
End up regretting things
Oh, whoa
I don't wanna turn my back on all this love we had
Nah, I don't wanna turn my back on all that love we made
[Bridge]
Oh, I thought that we had something real
How did bad get that bad?
Shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh
Shouldn't have loved you like I did, oh-whoa-oh
Never should've loved you like I did, no
Nah
[Chorus]
Ever seen a fist in the cold? Cut my whole world enough
It'll never get that bad
Wanna see a **** money fucked up, bitch, you got me fucked up
It'll never get that bad (It'll never get that bad)
No ice on my neck, no Fiji on the jet
****, it'll never get that bad (It'll never get that bad)
This ain't Russian roulette, what you expect?
Bitch, it'll never get that bad (It'll never get that bad)
