What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta

What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
The blue gangsta

What you're gonna do, cause I'm gonna get you
No way to run no way to hide
All the things you've said, everything you've done to me
You can no longer make me cry

Look what you've done to me, baby
I can no longer smile, baby
And I've waited so long, just to carry on

You've tricked me nine to five, left and you said crime
People telling me, you've got another guy
I've been abused, watch me light in fuse
Said you'd be my wife, nothing but big lies

Don't know what I've done, everything you've got
Things you've done to me, are coming back to you
You know just what I've done, the things you've done to me
I'm the blue gangsta

You ain't no friend of mine (Oh no)
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta (I'm the blue gangsta)

You ain't no friend of mine (What you're gonna do)
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta
(Look what you've done girl)

What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (Oh no)
(I can never fall in love)

See, I am so amused to the things you've said
And the things you have done to me
There is nothing in this world make me change
You make me wanna sing
