Verse 1:
You been looking at me funny every since the nigga came up (came up, came up, came up)
Thinking I was with you all the time and then I up and changed up (changed up, changed up yeah)
You know damn well you had my mind, so you had my time
Gave us all I had to give but I know thats hard to see that through your eyes
So give us time and give us space, give it love, dont give it hate, wish I could take the pain away but I cant
Chorus:
See me loving on her and I know what you thinking girl
I should've been loving you
Everytime I touch her I know what you thinking girl
I should've been touching you
You see her Chanel bags and her brand new Jag
Baby you should think it through
Cause you think everytime that I touch her, I should've been touching you, you, you
So shawty let it ride ride ride yeah
uhh huh, just let it ride ride ride yeah
Verse 2:
Now shawty use to be up in my picture like a painter (painter painter yeah)
Now you the artist formely known like a sanger (sanger sanger yeah)
I was your prince that became her king now you thinking the wrong queen is sitting beside me
Just give it time and give it space and it will all go away I wish that I could take the pain away but I cant
Chorus:
See me loving on her and I know what you thinking girl
I should've been loving you
Everytime I touch her I know what you thinking girl
I should've been touching you
You see her Chanel bags and her brand new Jag
Baby you should think it through
Cause you think everytime that I touch her, I should've been touching you, you, you
So shawty let it ride ride ride yeah
uhh huh, just let it ride ride ride yeah
