Go go

Down low
Turn the lights
Down low
(Low)
Turn the lights
Down low
(Low)
Turn the lights
Down low
Everytime
There's a break up
I feel I wake up
Everybody knows but
I feel the pain but
Ya'll don't really
Know about
I just can't be
Goin down
Who you think
You talkin' down
Your the one
That's goin down
Everybody
Run and run
This
What the pain does
I be just wanna
To try somebody
With this thing
Cause I can't make
Ya'll honest in me
I know some
Of ya'll
Gotta feel me
I've been
Around the world
Just trying
To be a girl
I said
Ah shila, ah shila
And I know
It's not
Because of me
It ain't me (3x)
I said ooouuu
It's gotta be you
(Come on)(4x)
It ain't me (3x)
I said ooouuu
It's gotta be you (2x)
Gotta be you, be you
I'm not makin'
This ah
To climasate some
Ya'll the ones
That blow it up
Swaying

People
They will trade me
Only then they hate
I'm gettin' betta
Remember
They need invade me
Why you talkin'
This ah
Soon
I'm gettin' this what
Who's sweet
Say it to my face
You ain't show enough
Ya'll can't ever
Really even with me
Cause the past
Is the only thing
You'll see
I've been
Around the world
(Been around the world)
Just trying
To be a girl
(Trying to be a girl)
I said
Ah shila, ah shila
And I know
It's not
Because of me
It ain't me (3x)
I said ooouuu
It's gotta be you
(Come on)(4x)
It ain't me (3x)
I said ooouuu
It's gotta be you (2x)
Gotta be you, be you

It ain't me(3x)
I said ooouuu
It's gotta be you (2x)
It's gotta be you
It's gotta be you
