Mhhhmmmh

Gimme something boy, gimme something

Gimme something cuz boy it don't feel right

I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing

I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

I know you see me baby, I know you feel my baby

I know you hear me when I call your name, baby

Gimme me something boy, gimme something

Gimme something cuz boy it don't feel right

I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing

I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

Act like you want me baby or tell me something's wrong

I'm tryna let you in but we're just too far gone

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

And I love you more than air it's true

Cuz I know you probably think I lied

There’s just one thing that I gotta say to you

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried

I want you to know that...

Uhm, gimme something boy, gimme something

Gimme something cuz boy it don't feel right

I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing

I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

Why do I put myself through this again and again? No

Gimme something boy, gimme something

Gimme somethin cuz boy it don't feel right

I'm getting nothing, boy getting nothing

I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

I end up like "why did I waste my time tryna make it right?"

When I know we're just too far gone for this oh

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

And I love you more than air it's true

Cuz I know you probably think I lied

There’s just one thing that I gotta say to you

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried

I want you to know that...

You just don't know what you got

And when I leave you're gonna see whether you like it or not

And all you secrets that I keep you can consider forgot

It’s not a concern to me what all your business is 'bout anymore

So leave the key in its usual spot by the door

And if you please lock it on the way out if you

Forget anything I guess then baby your fucked

'Cuz unless I can sell it, consider it chucked, uh

It’s such a shame that you're gone

But it's a goddamn tragedy I waited so long

To kick your ungrateful ass out of my house and my life

Boy you were trippin' when you promised you gon' make me your wife

And so you'll never see me crying over you anymore

I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a whore

And when you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart

You’ll curse the day I want away and everything fell apart

It’s such a shame that you're gone

But it's a goddamn tragedy I waited so long

To kick your ungrateful ass out of my house and my life

Boy you were trippin' when you promised you gon' make me your wife

And so you'll never see me crying over you anymore

I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a whore

And when you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart

You’ll curse the day I want away and everything fell apart

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried,oh

I want you to know that
