Maybe I
Got just a little too much pride
To let you back into my life
You think I miss you
Not yet, not yet
Maybe you
Thought about what you put me through
A sorry is long overdue
You wanted it back
Back, back
So cry, cry baby
I already let you go
Bye, bye, baby
I don't mess with you no more
Right now baby,
Just because I'm moving on
Don't you 'member back in the day
When all you had to do was
Say yes
But you walked away
You made your bed, you know the rest
Now you want me to say yes
Did you righ but you went and left
You think this is a game
You ain't gon' win cause I'm the ref
Did it all
All because of your ego
You thought that you was irreplaceable, yeah
There's a couple things that you can't erase
You'll learn your place from your mistakes
So cry, cry baby
I already let you go
Bye, bye, baby
I don't mess with you no more
Right now baby,
Just because I'm moving on
Don't you 'member back in the day
When all you had to do was
Say yes
But you walked away
You made your bed, you know the rest
Now you want me to say yes
Did you righ but you went and left
You think this is a game
You ain't gon' win cause I'm the ref
I bet you're thinking that I
Will take you back
Just like I did the last time
Ain't having that
I won't be taking the blame
Matter of fact
You messed up the winning game
Ref, play it back
Don't you 'member back in the day
When all you had to do was say yes
But you walked away
You made your bed, you know the rest
Now you want me to say yes
Did you right but you went and left
You think this is a game
You ain't gon' win cause I'm the ref
Play it back
Won't you play it back?
Ref, play it back
