Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love was the egg, see
And it was born in a cloud with silver lining
Ha, uh-huh
But it broke, I mean it hatched on the ground
So time flew right by me
And while I, uh, ay
[Verse 2]
I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
When you didn't call, you found that you were wrong, ha
See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
You thought you had it all, but you found that you were wrong
[Verse 3]
See, maybe there was somethin' wrong
(Maybe there was somethin' wrong)
And you weren't tellin' me, no (Tellin' me, no)
See, see maybe the laugh's on me (Maybe the jokes's on me)
And life was tellin' me a joke (Tellin' me, joke)
[Verse 4]
Well, they say if somethin's yours and you let it go
If it comes back to you, it was yours all along
Well, I let you go along with those lies from you
I wonder what else lies in you, or did the lies just eat it gone?
[Verse 5]
See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
When you didn't call, you found that you were wrong, ha
See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
You thought you had it all, but you found that you were wrong
[Verse 6]
See, maybe there was somethin' wrong
(Maybe there was somethin' wrong)
And you weren't tellin' me, no (Tellin' me, no)
See, see maybe the laugh's on me (Maybe the jokes's on me)
And life was tellin' me a joke (Tellin' me, joke)
[Verse 7]
Babe, yo, hold it now!
[Verse 8]
Is y'all there? Ha
How you feel right now?
Yeah, me too
Hey, yeah, babe
[Verse 9]
Hold it now!
[Verse 10]
Y'all alright?
See, do you remember what it's like to wake up in her love nest?
Get it, love nest?
And now she's gone, gone
Gone, gone
At which point you realize
Life is but a joke, and the laugh's on you
That's funny right? Babe
