Lyrics
[Chorus]
I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you, and forget her, too
[Chorus]
Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Huh, now ain't that some shh (Ain't that some shh)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 1]
Now look here, I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess he's an Xbox, and I'm more Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair
[PreChorus]
I pity the fool that falls in love with you (Oops, she's a gold digger)
Well (Just thought you should know, ****)
Ooh, I've got some news for you
Yeah, go on and run tell your lil' boyfriend
[Chorus]
I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you, and forget her, too
[Chorus]
Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Huh, now ain't that some shh (Ain't that some shh)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Now I know that I had to borrow
Huh, beg and steal and lie and cheat
Trying to keep you, trying to please you
'Cause being in love with your **** ain't cheap
[PreChorus]
Now, I pity the fool that falls in love with you (Oops, she's a gold digger)
Well (Just thought you should know, ****)
Ooh, I've got some news for you
Ooh, I really hate your **** right now
[Chorus]
I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you, and forget her, too
[Chorus]
Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Huh, now ain't that some shh (Ain't that some shh)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Bridge]
Now, baby, baby, baby
Why you wanna, wanna hurt me so bad? (So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my momma, but she told me
This is one for your dad (Your dad, your dad, your dad)
Yes, she did
And now I'm like, uh, why?
Uh, why?
Uh, why, baby?
I love you
I still love you
Oh
[Chorus]
I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love
Uh, forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you, and forget her, too
[Chorus]
Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Huh, now ain't that some shh (Ain't that some shh)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a forget you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
