[Intro: Fabolous]

Oh

You see, what I can't understand

Is how somebody have a lifetime friend

That they've been through thick and thin with

And they just fall out over the simplest shit, man, like

But that same person will be in a relationship

With a triflin' ass ma'fucker

And keep takin' 'em back

Shit is crazy

[Verse 1: Fabolous]

The karma of fuckin' over a good person

Is the asshole you end up wit'

Get a taste of your own medicine

Funny, you the one who end up sick

Always took you back, even though it made my friends upset

Told me I should blow you off, haven’t got that wind up yet

Know how many days I hurt? Many nights I’ve been up stressed?

Thought that we had been in love, maybe I just been obsessed

When you crossed me, you lost me

Now if I was guardin' Derrick Rose

I would be more understandin', but you ain't Derrick Rose

You was my number one, but, um, you ain't Derrick Rose

You tryna make a point again, you ain’t Derrick Rose

You just on some bullshit, bitch, you ain’t Derrick Rose

I’m a lover and a fighter, fight for what I love

But you made somethin' of bitches I think nuttin' of

Ask myself why I fight when it’s long been over

God gives the hardest battles to the strongest soldiers

So I fight for us long as there's reason to

You wanted to give up on us long as there was season two

Cool, you’re gonna need me one day

And if it’s Sunday, that one-day gon' be Monday

That’s how fast things change sometimes

Niggas play the tough role, I Ving Rhames sometimes

Like, like, like, I don't want that bitch back

I mean, I want her, but I don’t want the bitch back

She say she want him, but she don’t want that nigga back

That nigga act like I ain’t had a nigga back

[Chorus: Dionne Warwick, Joe Budden]

You’re gonna need me one day

So much pain in this sample

You're gonna want me back (So much pain in some of our hearts)

In your arms (I just want a pain-free heart)

You’re gonna need me one day (I don't ask for much

Fab, what's good though)

You're gonna want me back

In your arms (Let's talk to her real quick)

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

We start with

‘I love you’, and I think we got the power to grow

Woulda gave up, but ain’t no coward in Joe

Funny thing about it all, you check my Twitter every hour or so

And then you bring this fake shit to our reality show

Spent however many years lookin' for devotion

It’s weird, your feelings, but I put 'em into motion

I dictate the 'What’s?' and 'Why’s?' (What else?) The 'How?' and 'When?'

You ain’t learn to separate your now from then

I keep my distance 'cause when I’m near, my head is hurtin'

Exhausted every road to friendship, but it's never workin'

Me, I met the sweetest girl, you know y'all met in person

Bottom line, I made you then made a better version

Tried to give you good advice, but you ain’t heed it

Must’ve figured you ain’t need it, but all I can do is seed it

Told you, you gon' fuck around and end up sick

You chose dick from this nigga off the New York Knicks, my nig...

You so spiteful, that ain’t the way we act

That cock was inserted in you, how could it pay me back?

I know you said when we were over you'd start aimin' bigger (But)

But you can’t have anonymity with famous niggas (Oh!)

Know you thinkin' my happiness is a front

How would you ever know? Happiness is what you wanted

So unidentifiable when that harm'll never let up (Why?)

You fucked me real good, but karma fucked you better

[Chorus: Dionne Warwick, Joe Budden]

You’re gonna need me one day

You're gonna want me back

In your arms

You’re gonna need me one day

You're gonna want me back

In your arms

[Verse 3: Teyana Taylor]

You never miss a good thing 'til it leave you

I finally realize I don’t need you

You want me back

You know you’re gonna need me back, gotta have me back, yeah

Heartbroken when you left my world

Boy, you know you should’ve kept this girl

I was there for you

Now I don’t know what you gon' do

Without me, baby

Ooh

That was the last thing I said to ya

I notice you know it's dead end with ya

[Outro: Teyana Taylor]

Ooh

Ooh, you’re gonna want me back

You’re gonna want me back, oh-oh

I said, I want ya, want ya, want ya, want ya, want ya, baby, baby

Ah, ooh

You’re gonna want me back, yeah

Mmm

Ooh

Ah

Ooh, want me back

You’re gonna want me back
