Lyrics

[Intro]

Hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

[Verse 1]

And I thought about you today

And I thought about the things you used to say

And I thought about the things we did

And I thought about your newest kid

[Verse 2]

And damn, that makes two now

Oh, what do I do now?

'Cause if we ever got together

I'd have to be them ****' step-pops forever

[Verse 3]

And well, that ain't my thing 'cause I

I ain't even got my own

And I ain't really got no home

No place to put these things I own

[Verse 4]

And I thought about the things you used to say

And I thought about the games we used to play

And I thought about that little kid

And I thought about the things we did

[Verse 5]

I always thought that we would be together

I always knew that we would be together

But I'on wanna wait forever

I'on wanna wait forever

[Chorus]

Hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

[Bridge]

Hello?

Hell-hello?

Hello, hello?

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Hello?

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Shit seem so sad when you look back

Everything's so sad when you look back

[Verse 6]

On the rebound like a book back

On the rebound like a book back

Don't just sit back, bitch get on it

Time fly by way too quick, don't it?

Reflection bring regrets, don't it?

Rejection make your defenses

So you protect your pride with your reflexes

But life is a game with no reset on the end

[Verse 7]

It ain't no lookin' back, no, no, no

No, it ain't no lookin' back, no, no, no

No, it ain't no lookin' back, no, no, no, no

It's all good, aye

It ain't no lookin' back, no, no, no

No, it ain't no lookin' back, no, no, no

No, it ain't no lookin' back, no, no, no, no

Huh, it's all good

[Chorus]

Hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

[Outro]

And I thought about you today

And I thought about the things you used to say

And I thought about the things we did

And I thought about your newest kid

And damn, that makes two now

Oh, what do I do now?
