[Intro: Ransom]

Or as happy as the gods can ever be

And I, I decided to complicate my life

For a guy who likes sure things, I was about to bet the rest of my life on a real long shot

We're not getting any younger, don't you think it's time? (Ah, don't do that, Ace)

Aren't you gettin' tired of all this shit?

Bangin' around, hustlin' around? (Fuckin' hate this part)

What, are you trying to handicap me?

I'm gonna do you one better, I'm trying to marry you (Ah, dummy)

You want to marry me? I'm serious


[Verse 1: Ransom]

First woman to make me shed a tear (Tear)

Now I'm wishin' that she was never here (Yеah)

I never prayed but it's only right that I sеt a prayer (Pray)

Could never stay if she walked around like she never cared (Cared, never cared)

Why we gotta love what we can't have? (Why?)

Why she gotta have all that damn ass? Huh

A woman that makes a man laugh, haha

The same woman that makes that man crash (Yeah)

It takes a lot to shake up this foster kid (Kid)

But now that she gone, it feels like I lost a rib

I'm sure I got more to give, does she really deserve it?

She was sweet as dessert, so why do I feel deserted?

Damn, never knew this is how it hurted

Man, it feels like I'm gettin' murdered

Damn, I'm tough as nails on the surface

At the end of the day, she told me she wasn't perfect, huh (She told me)

I told her I wasn't worthless

And one day, I'll be rich from writin' these lil' verses

Yeah, I love this girl that bad

But, she just somethin' that I can't have


[Bridge: Jade]

Constant thoughts of all the times we spent (We spent)

As I sit and reminisce

Times I wish that I could take you back (Take you back, take you back)

But you're just somethin' that I can't have (Oh)

Constant thoughts of all the times we spent (Ooh)

As I sit and reminisce (Yeah)

Times I wish that I could take you back (Take you back)

But you're just somethin' that I can't have


[Verse 2: Ransom]

I just thought that I'd have a talk with you (Talk with you)

'Cause I think it's time that I part with you (Yeah)

Don't get upset, my love, don't let your heart get you (No)

Come here baby, don't cry, here go some more tissue (Here)

I'm lost without you, but then I'm lost with you

Married the love of my life and then got divorced with you (Wow)

How could this be? (Be) The perfect girl (The perfect girl)

The perfect man (The perfect man), this shouldn't be (No)

But there it is, I'm embarrassed to say (Uh, huh)

We fell into the deepest love and got carried away (Yes)

Let's get married today (Yes), yeah, in a perfect world (Uh, huh)

Had the reception, watch our son as he grabs the bouquet ('Quet)

'Member back in the day (Yeah), how I told you I was?

The plenty women, how I did 'em, I showed 'em no love (No love)

They say karma's a bitch (Yeah), now I know that's it's real

Some shorty told me that one day, I would know how she feel (Feel)

Hold the lion aside

I ain't tryin' to cry, but I'm dyin' inside

I love your ass that bad

But you just somethin' that I can't have


[Interlude: Ransom]

Ran', please talk to me

What is you, what is you even fuckin' talkin' about?

You know what the fuck I'm talkin' about

What?

You were with that bitch

Yo, I seen you

This some bullshit, for real, man

No, it's not bullshit, you're bullshit

Yo, I thought we fuckin' got over this shit, man, already, goddamn

You got over it, I did not

Always bringin' this shit the fuck up, bro dang

Because you never wanna fuckin' talk about it

Oh, what about you?

What about, what about nothin'?

What about you? Forgot about you, right?

You never fuckin' talk to me, talk to me please


[Verse 3: Ransom]

I think I'm done with relationships (Uh, huh)

I thought that love was some sacred shit (That's what I thought)

I've come to learn that I hate this shit (Hate it)

The thought of her with another man, it just makes me sick (Sick)

Fuck it, I got a lot of women

But that only equals a lot of spendin' (A lot of spendin')

Most niggas'll spend they stacks to get her (Uh, huh)

While we thinkin' of gettin' back together (Damn)

We standin' here in the pourin' rain

Looked in my eyes and said, "Baby, let me take all your pain

Let me make you my husband, you'll be my ball and chain" (Uh, huh)

"And we can make us a son if you feel at all the same," hmm

I don't know, I just need to think

Kind of ironic you think it's small but you need a shrink

Damn, a contract but you need the ink

In this equation, you really think I'm the weakest link?


[Outro: Jade]

It's not the same

No, not the same (Feelings we used to share, now)

It's not the same (Oh, no)

No, not the same (Seems there is nothing left)

No love, hmm

Seems so long ago
