Well, I got some coke in my bourbon
Surfin' the room like Swazye
No, I ain't drunk, I'm amazing
Yeah, I got that laid way way back back in my swagger
Xfactor feeling no pain I'm at the top of my game

Darlin' you can't crash my party with your 'Sorry's and 'What Are We's
Don't start rainin' on my Mardi Gras parade for a minute
I ain't even fixin' to listen to your guilt trippin'
You're forgettin' girl you made your bed and didn't want me in it (Hey!)

Woah girl, simmer on down a notch
Ain't nobody making you watch me get my forget you on
No girl, can't touch my good as gold
I know it's difficult to see me on a roll
But hey, you broke up with me
Yeah, what can I say babe, you broke up with me

Guess you don't know what you want
'Til you see I'm movin' on
Makin' lonely look like freedom
Baby, don't even act like I'm doing something wrong
If my song comes on and I get lost on that dance floor
In somebody's arms that aren't yours

You can't crash my party with your 'Sorry's and 'What Are We's
Don't be rainin' on my Mardi Gras parade for a minute
I ain't even fixin' to listen to your guilt trippin'
You're forgettin' girl you made your bed and didn't want me in it (Hey!)

Woah girl, simmer on down a notch
Ain't nobody making you watch me get my forget you on
No girl, can't touch my good as gold
I know it's difficult to see me on a roll (Hey!)
But hey, you broke up with me
Yeah, what can I say babe, you broke up with me

For real babe, ain't tryin' rub it your face
I'm just breakin off a little cold hard truth
It is what it is girl, you did what you did girl
I'm just doin' what a bachelor do

Darlin' you can't crash my party with your 'Sorry's and 'What Are We's
Don't be rainin' on my Mardi Gras parade for a minute (Quit it!)
I ain't even fixin' to listen to your guilt trippin'
You're forgettin' girl you made your bed and didn't want me in it (Hey!)

Woah girl, simmer on down a notch
Ain't nobody making you watch me get my forget you on
No girl, can't touch my good as gold
I know it's difficult to see me on a roll
But hey, you broke up with me
Yeah, what can I say babe, you broke up with me
You broke up with me
Yeah, what can I say babe, you broke up with me
