[Verse 1]

It's been a while since I seen your name pop up on my phone

After hearing what you said, I woulda called you sooner if I'da known

So tell me why the hell you're even sticking around

'Cause, girl, you ain't the type to settle or be dancing around

With somebody who don't give you what you need

You gotta listen to me


[Chorus]

I hate to be that guy, but he ain't treating you right

Sometimes you need to hear all the cold hard truth

If he ain't with you tonight, then you're just wasting your time

And he's got a hell of a whole lot to lose

Yeah, he's gonna miss all of those second chances

Best he'll ever get's gonna slip through his hands

When you've had enough and you get on with goodbye

I'd hate to be that guy

I'd hate to be that guy (Yeah)


[Verse 2]

I don't wanna overstep, but girl, you should get to moving on (Baby, I don't wanna overstep)

It's hanging on by a thread, no sense in tryna string it along (Baby, don't you dare)

Yeah, it'll take a while, but all the hurt's gonna fade

And he'll be kicking himself about the one that got away (Got away)

And you'll say, "Boy, it's way too late, I'm in a way better place"


[Chorus]

I hate to be that guy, but he ain't treating you right

Sometimes you need to hear all the cold hard truth

If he ain't with you tonight, then you're just wasting your time

And he's got a hell of a whole lot to lose

Yeah, he's gonna miss all of those second chances

Best he'll ever get's gonna slip through his hands

When you've had enough and you get on with goodbye

I'd hate to be that guy


[Post-Chorus]

(I'd hate to be that guy)


[Chorus]

I hate to be that guy, but he ain't treating you right (You right)

Sometimes you need to hear all the cold hard truth

If he ain't with you tonight, then you're just wasting your time

And he's got a hell of a whole lot to lose (So much to lose)

Yeah, he's gonna miss all of those second chances (Yeah, he's gonna miss)

Best he'll ever get's gonna slip through his hands

When you've had enough and you get on with goodbye (Goodbye)

I'd hate to be that guy

I'd hate to be that guy (Baby, just tell him goodbye)


[Outro]

I'd hate to be that guy
