When I think it’s all she wrote, looking through my holy quotes
Looking for the antidote, and I think I’ve found that it’s life

Boy1
When’s the last time you took me
where you promised we would go out?2
Talking all that shit
Steady frontin with ya boys3
Lookin at me with your hand out
Baby you could put that hand down4
We ain’t even like that5
You gotta put in work baby work
If you wanna come in first6
Step it up show your worth
Or I’m gone, I’m gone7
Hey
Don’t try to play me, no way
You know I ain’t for them games8
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl9
Babe
You know you’re gonna lose me
If you don’t meet me half way10
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl
Aye boy
You be saying that you love me
but I know that it’s all lies
All lies11
Cause you don’t ever show me
When all I ever do is try12
But you don’t ever give back
You don’t love me like that13
You gotta put in work baby work
If you wanna come in first
Step it up show your worth
Or I’m gone, I’m gone
Hey
Don’t try to play me, no way
You know I ain’t for them games
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl
Babe
You know you’re gonna lose me
If you don’t meet me half way
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl
You could tell me its over
Swear you won’t catch me crying14
Don’t look back when its over
Cause I’m not some ordinary girl
Cause I loved you15
Hey
Don’t try to play me, no way
You know I ain’t for them games
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl
Babe
You know you’re gonna lose me
If you don’t meet me half way
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl
Hey
Don’t try to play me, no way
You know I ain’t for them games
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl
Babe
You know you’re gonna lose me
If you don’t meet me half way
Don’t you treat me like no ordinary, ordinary girl16
