The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You need to go

Don’t look so surprised

(You better sing it, sing, sing)

Cause we had love

That will be immortalized

Say you need me now

Grow along without me now

But our little romance is through

Because basically boy, you

You just don’t know what to do

Oh

I can give it to ya, but what you gonna do

Win it if I hit it, I bet you stuck, stoop

But sucking your teeth, don’t fuck up my mood

I’m trying to give it all to you

I can understand it’s things we go through

Put C’s on your back, let see this here through

And we can be happy as we can be, no rules

But I gotta get it out of you

She said, “‘Le, throw a ring on it”

She don’t love you unless she put your whole name on it

Gettin’ money at this age is hard knocks

The day to not act the way

When all the pretty girls love you for your stage presence

Uh, and then you shake somethin’

I miss you almost half as much as you miss me

You used to act so tough, pretty insecurity

Now that I found myself, your air can too be mine

Can’t even help yourself from playing the fool this time

Ooh, how I loved you

Ooh, how I needed you

Ooh, boy I feel brand new

Ooh, since you turned me lose

Baby, you don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

Cause you wanna leave

And you never go

I’ma set you free boy

Baby, you don’t know

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You love me more than you loved sunny summer days

And even more than you love floating in a haze

Boy when you lost my heart, you lost everything

Now all that you can do is listen to me sing

Ooh, how I loved you

(How I loved you boy)

Ooh, how I needed you

Ooh, boy I feel brand new

Ooh, since you turned me lose

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

Cause you wanna leave

And you never go

I’ma set you free

Cause baby, you don’t know

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

I can give it to you, but what you gon’ do

Win it, if I hit it, I bet you stuck, stoop

And the motto I got, no class in this school

Take your bags and go boo

Never mind all of the flexin’ I do

Balenciagas, got you two steppin’ on smooth

Never will I lower my standards, my boo

I could show you we’re attendants like sampress on cue

That’s kinda funny cause love still mean lose

Unless we kill a record and back-and-forth moves

Somehow you keep showing your ass, I see through it

Did you catch that all, screw it

All the girls need is respect and I do it

Never catch feelings 'cause Jets is my fuel

Giuseppe my foot, my sweats be brand new

So sexy, they ain’t sweating me, I bet you ain’t know t

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

Cause you wanna leave

(Cause you wanna leave)

And you never go

(And you never go)

I’ma set you free

Baby, you don’t know

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know what

You don’t know what

You don’t know what to do

You don’t know you do to me

You don’t know you do to me

You don’t know

I can give it to you, but what you gon’ do

You don’t know

I can give it to you, but what you gon’ do

You don’t know you do to me

I can give it to you, but what you gon’ do

You don’t know you do to me

I can give it to you, but what you gon’ do

You don’t know

You don’t know
