It's kinda crazy baby,
How I remember things (like where you came from and how you had nothin)
I went and made you fly,
Put extras on your ride, (didn't miss a birthday now you can't even remember mine)

[hook:]
You made it clear to me (you wasn't down for me),
(I may be blind baby) but now I see,
(You had things up your sleeve, don't even lie to me)
I even heard it from your family,

[chorus:]
How could you let somebody lay where I laid?
How could you give him everything that we made?
How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you teach him all the things I thought you?
How could you put him up to the ghetto kama sutra?
How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?

You must be out your mind,
You got a lot of nerve
(To think that I'm gon chill after all that shit I heard),
I damn near carried you,
I could've married you,
Good thing I found out before I bought that seven carat for you,
(I know you're sick about) the way I found you out,
(Go ahead and pack it out)
I hope he got romance in his house,
You should have thought of me before you hopped in the sheets,
Damn I can't believe that you did this to me

[chorus:]
How could you let somebody lay where I laid?
How could you give him everything that we made?
How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you teach him all the things I thought you?
How could you put him up to the ghetto kama sutra?
How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?

[bridge:]
Girl I tried to give you everything,
Can't believe the ways you repaid me,
Girl you had it all,
But I guess my all wasn't good enough for you,
Baby I've accepted it,
And I ain't gon trip,
Girl I'm movin on,
Sometimes I give up and think that another man's gonna get the one that's in for me

[chorus:]
How could you let somebody lay where I laid?
How could you give him everything that we made?
How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you teach him all the things I thought you?
How could you put him up to the ghetto kama sutra?
How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?

How could you how could you just go and lay there,
How could you how could just give him everything,
How could you how could you call him names like that,
How could you babe?
How could you babe?
How could you how could you teach him everything?
How could you how could you put him to the ghetto kama sutra?
