Now for the Deluxe

Now Mariah, you know I love you
I love you all my life
But I wouldn't be a friend or even fan if I didn't
give you the real
You been hangin' on to this dude
knowin' he doin' you dirty
Why won't you just cut this guy lose?
You know, tell him it's a wrap 'cause
You better than that
And you Mariah Carey, remember?

Shit!

Yet another early mornin'
and you walk in like it's nothing
Hold up, hold up, hold tight
Ain't no donuts, ain't no coffee
See I, know you seen me calling and calling
I should crack you right in your forehead

Let me take a breath (let me take a breath)
And regain my composure
Told you one more time (told you one more time)
If you f'ed up it's over
'Cause when it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot baby

It's a wrap for you baby
(It's a wrap)
It's a wrap for you boy (it's a wrap)
Oh, baby

If I ever misrepresented my self-image
Then I'm sorry
I was oh so acquiescent
But I learn my lesson
Boy, you're sorry
Buh buh buh
All out in the open
Go make me go call Maury Povich

Let me take a breathe (let me take a breathe)
And regain my composure
Told you one more time
If you f'ed up it's over
When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot baby

It's a wrap for you baby
(it's a wrap)
It's a wrap for you boy
Oh, baby

Put all of your shit in the elevator
It's going down like a denominator
Trying to keep holding on, holding on
Boy, let me go
You gonna wake my neighbors, get away from my door
That was your last shot, you ain't coming back
It's the Martini I mean it baby
it's wrap

When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot baby
Boy I ain't playing a game
It's wrap, I told you, I told you
It's wrap, if you act up one more time it's over
It's wrap, so get out of my face, it's over
Been sitting here all night, leave me alone.
Since one o'clock A.M. been drinking patron
Let the credits role, it's a wrap
