Damn, I really messed up this time 
But I'm a make it up to you 
Listen 

Seems just like the other day 
You were my woman 
Shopping malls and holidays 
Couldn't tell us nothing 
Now your gone away and I'm 
Still tryna deny it 
But I'm tired from this pain 
And I just can't hide it 

Its like ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
I just can't get over you 
Girl ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Feel like I caught the flu 
Girl I'm sick from all these lies and these games 
And I'm sick from being the reason we turned out this way 

I'm tryna act like I don't want to be with you 
Like I would be okay 
If you just walked away 
I'm tryna act like I don't want to see you 
Like you were just a face 
I'll forget you in a day 
I'm tryna act like I can do without feeling on your booty 
Find another ghetto cutie 
To do me like you do me yeah yeah 
But I'm just so addicted to you 
I'm a try but I can't 
'cause your all I'm tryna do 

See ya here and there with your friends 
And I start the frontin' 
Act like I been doing my thing 
I don't need your loving 
But you see it in my eyes 
Girl something just ain't right 
Since we don't share this bed no more 
I can't sleep at night 

Its like ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
I just can't get over you 
Girl ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Feel like I caught the flu 
Girl I'm sick from all these lies and these games 
And I'm sick from being the reason we turned out this way 

I'm tryna act like I don't want to be with you (ooh ooh) 
Like I would be okay (be okay) 
If you just walked away (walked away) 
I'm tryna act like I don't want to see you (I don't want to see you baby) 
Like you were just a face 
I'll forget you in a day 
I'm tryna act like I can do without feeling on your booty (oh ho) 
Find another ghetto cutie 
To do me like you do me yeah yeah 
But I'm just so addicted to you 
I'm a try (oh) but I can't 
'cause your all I'm tryna do 

Baby I know 
Guess I'm changing out the door (Can't play it off like I'm so cool) 
Girl you know I'm going straight out my mind 
I can't stop thinking bout the things we did and the way we kissed 
I know it ain't right playin' like you ain't my time girl 
Tryna be a playa got me actin' like I

Like I don't want to be with you 
Like I would be okay (like I would never be okay no) 
If you just walked away 
I'm tryna act like I don't want to see you (but you know I want to see you baby yea) 
Like you were just a face 
I'll forget you in a day (but I'll never forget you girl) 
I'm tryna act like I can do without (oh oh) feeling on your booty (booty) 
Find another ghetto cutie (cutie) 
To do me like you do me (do me yeah) 
But I'm just so addicted to you 
I'm a try but I can't 
'cause your all I'm tryna do
