Oh, oh
Oh, I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she
Don't know how to act
Never been a dumb dude
No, I'm not dense
I just had a slight lack of common sense
I was the good guy
She was the bad girl
I'm thinking one girl
She thinking me, Earl, James, and Jimmy
Yep, she had plenty
But love for me, she didn't have any

I was inviting (her into my heart)
But she was out riding (in some other man's car)
She was my night time, (thought I was her star)
Guess I was wrong, but, see, I'm strong
Won't take me long for me to move on

Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl

I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she
Don't know how to act
Tried to settle down and look what I get
Thought it was my time, but I guess not yet
She at the bar getting drinks from many men
I'm in the house, thinking she's with her girlfriends
Just not knowing, truly not knowing
I look back now like, man, I was open

I was inviting (her into my heart)
But she was out riding (in some other man's car)
She was my night time, (thought I was her star)
Guess I was wrong, but, see, I'm strong
Won't take me long for me to move on

Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl

Ooo, the mistake I made was clear
(We never should've been together)
That's the reason you're not here
(I know that I can do much better)
Not a single salty tear
Not a feeling in my chest
Baby, I'm feeling no stress
I'm too fly to be depressed

Go on, girl, go on, girl
Go on, girl, go on, girl

Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl

Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl
(Go on, girl)
Go on, girl

Go on, girl, go on, girl, go on, girl
I'll be fine
