[Hook]

Too many times this love thing never worked

I had to step back and just realize my worth and

Not take it out on myself when it hurt

But now that I know that

I’ll put myself first, yeah

[Verse 1]

Yeah

New year, new girl and I’m placing all my bets on the table on her

Scared money don’t make none and I feel imma hit the jackpot for sure

Trusting my gut feeling cuz it seems right

Mutual feelings, yeah that’s what it seem like

Same page, we be talking on the low

And I’m trying to take it slow

But you giving me the green light

Or red? Maybe I’m tripping

I keep putting myself in this position

Feeling like I’m stuck in Izanami

From the way that I be trying to find a way out of a cycle that keeps on repeating

Ah, damn, tripping over myself

While I keep looking for ways to get over myself

And every time I think I’m doing better

There comes another girl that’s sending me some love letter

In invisible ink

[Hook]

Too many times this love thing never worked

I had to step back and just realize my worth and

Not take it out on myself when it hurt

But now that I know that

I’ll put myself first, yeah

[Verse 2]

Yeah

Now I’m back

Been away a bit but now I’m back on track

Had to drop a shorty that ain’t messing with me back

And now I got a shorty that be laying on her back and she all like

“I love it, I love it, yeah I do

Promise I ain’t entertaining anybody but you”

2020 vision from the way I see through, but

Don’t know what to do

Cuz I feel like love is trying to just spite me

Want a bad chick to keep right beside me

But instead all of these girls they, uh, yeah

All of these girls don’t like me

They just lust

Even though I’m guilty of it myself

I can’t trust

Anyone that keeps me a notch on their belt, nah

[Hook]

Too many times this love thing never worked

I had to step back and just realize my worth and

Not take it out on myself when it hurt

But now that I know that

I’ll put myself first, yeah
