[Intro]
Ah-ah
Ooh-woah-woah-woah

[Verse 1]
Like a snake shedding her skin
She was way too innocent
She was too easy to fool
No way that she wouldn’t trust you
And he’d wait ’til she’s sleeping sound
And she’d wait ’til the sun comes out (Comes out)
And a kiss of goondight when she sneaks out the door

And she’ll never need more

[Chorus]
This is how a good girl never came back
She was riding on your truth but you never told that, yeah
Oh, this is how a good girl never came back
She was watching how you did her and she never came back (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
But she got these n!ggas working overtime, overtime
And it’s all because you couldn’t treat her right, treat her right
Overtime, overtime
Yeah, she got her in a fading and she’s fine
‘Cause she’s got money on her mind (Ooh)
Mind
She got them working overtime (Ooh)
Ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
For what you put her through now, ah
She’ll never be you (No)
She don’t trust nobody so she stay in her room, yeah, yeah (Her room)
And it’s all because of you (You)
All because of everything you just put her through, yeah (Ooh)

[Outro]
No, you’re not my daddy
Know you know you’re not my daddy
No, you’re not my daddy
Know you know you’re not my daddy no more
Know you’re not mine no more
I just gotta close the door
I just gotta close the door
You’re not her daddy no more
I just gotta close the door
