[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(The only way to fix it)

[Verse 1]
The only way to fix it is to end it
But I don’t know if you can comprehend it
I can’t spend another day pretending
No, I don’t got no business with you
You’d rather ask forgiveness than permission
I’d rather be with someone who just gets it
‘Cause you told me that this time, it’d be different
But I ain’t see no difference in you, uh

[Pre-Chorus]
Despite it all, despite it all, I play it off, I play it small
Just so you come off bigger than what you are
(Bigger than what you are)
That isn’t right, I step aside, I let it slide
I dim my light so that you can shine brighter, ooh

[Chorus]
Got the kind of face only a lover could hate
After they done putting up with all of your mistakes
I know you only human and you made some mistakes
But those were major mistakes, oh, baby
And that’s the type of s*it I know you always been on
But I’m the type of b!tch that you should never do wrong
But you the type of b!tch only a mother can make
When they daddy don’t stay, oh, baby, oh

[Verse 2]
What am I saying? You take me to places I try to refrain from
Calling you out your name, oh yeah, speaking of names
I’ma go head and say ’em
Who the fu*k is Lisa? Who the fu*k is Paige?
Who the fu*k is Britney? Get the fu*k up out my face

Get the fu*k up out my place
Treat me like an option, I guess I should do the same
You so goofy, you so lame, you so stupid, it’s a shame
Opportunist to the fullest, you an opp, but it’s okay
Guess I’ll charge it to the game
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Despite it all, despite it all, I play it off, I play it small
Just so you come off bigger than what you are
Bigger than what you are
That isn’t right, I let it slide, I dim my light
I step aside just so you can shine brighter, ayy, yeah

[Chorus]
You got the kind of face only a lover could hate
After they done putting up with all of your mistakes
I know you only human and you made some mistakes
But those were fatal mistakes, oh, baby
And that’s the type of s*it I know you always been on
But I’m the type of b!tch that you should never do wrong
And you the type of b!tch only a mother can make
When they daddy don’t stay, oh, baby

[Outro]
What am I saying?
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Oh, baby, oh, baby
(Let me hear it)
