Damn (Should've Treated U Right)

I couldn't think about the next man bangin' you

Hittin' the power-you the way that I used to

You make me holla

Your cat top dollar

Purr when wet

Worth puttin' diamonds on your collar

We bounce, hittin' switches like a '64

We'll follow, me and you against the world

Baby girl proper but you broke

Now she got your side of the bed

Your six with wide-screen TVs in the head

You like the livin' dead 'cause you won't be back

The cat you thought was on throwin' you off track

Can't do that, love's like a tug of war match

You can't win, you fall in, get too attached

You wanna be where I'm at, feelin' me when I climax

Nails dig in my back, headboard outta whack

What you love about Ja is what caught your eye

Painful lies and sweet goodbyes, baby, why?

Damn, I shoulda never let you walk right out my life

I should've treated U right

I shoulda been by your side

But, damn, I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

Now I can't even lie

It's killin' me inside

I fell in love with you, see, like they do in movies

You were the generous type

You brought me things I didn't need, promised to take care of me

But then I pushed you to leave, yeah, yeah

Money don't make the man

I understand since I let you go

But I could've had damn near everything, yeah, yeah

You see, I shoulda changed my plans

Let you be my man just for your dough

And never, ever have to explain

Damn, I shoulda never let you walk right out my life

I should've treated U right (Out of my life)

I shoulda been by your side (I shoulda been)

But, damn, I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

Now I can't even lie (How could I?)

It's killin' me inside (It's killin' me)

(Second verse)

It's wrong for me to think this

But I could have handled it

Me playin' you for a fool

Frontin', so romantic

Just to get my wishes granted

I shoulda did what I had to do

Now, when I think it through

I coulda been to you a real good girl

I didn't think that this is your world, yeah, yeah, yeah

To satisfy all my needs

I should've please you a little bit more

Shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been

But these thoughts I just ignored

Damn, I shoulda never let you walk right out my life

(Walk out my life)

I should've treated U right

I shoulda been by your side (I shoulda been)

But, damn, I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

Now I can't even lie

It's killin' me inside (It's killin' me)

(Oh, boy)

Damn, I shoulda never let you walk right out my life

(Shoulda never let you leave)

I should've treated U right

I shoulda been by your side (I shoulda been, shoulda been)

(Shoulda been, yeah)

But, damn, I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

(Oh, no, how could you do this to me?)

Now I can't even lie

It's killin' me inside (I can't)

You don't even wanna talk to me

You don't wanna be with me anymore (Be with me anymore)

You don't even wanna call at all

But you come around tryna hit me off

You don't wanna go out with me

I can't stand to see you outta line (Yeah, yeah)

But it's really killin' me

You're not feelin' me

I wish you were mine, but (You were mine)

Damn, I shoulda never let you walk right out my life

(Out of my life)

I should've treated U right

(Oh, yeah)

I shoulda been by your side (Oh, but)

But, damn, I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

(Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now I can't even lie

It's killin' me inside (It's killin' me)

(Ooh, yeah)

Damn, I shoulda never let you walk right out my life

(Walk out my)

I should've treated U right

(Should've been)

I shoulda been by your side

But, damn, I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

(Yes, I did, so, yes, I did)

Now I can't even lie

It's killin' me inside (It's killin' me)
