About Somebody Else

"Somebody Else" is a song recorded by American R&B singer-songwriter Mario, featuring guest vocals from Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj. The song was released in the United States as a digital download on May 21, 2013, on RCA Records. It was intended to be the lead single for his then-upcoming fifth studio album, but would only be a standalone single due to Mario scrapping the whole album and departing from the label. The record heavily samples the 1975 song "Remember the Rain", by American R&B group 21st Century.

You left me for somebody else, now
You left me for somebody else, now
You left me for somebody else, now
You left me for somebody else, now

I never saw the day coming
That you would ever wanna leave me
Baby, you told me no matter what your heart
Would always be for me
Always be for me

Now I’m alone, said she wanna be ghost, yeah
I don’t really like it, but I gotta take it
Damn, damn, damn, girl
When you coming back?
So you never coming back? Yeah
I-I don’t believe that
But right now I gotta accept the fact that

You left me for somebody else now
I wish I never loved ya
You left me, baby you left me
Girl I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you
You left me for somebody else girl
Girl I wish I never met you
You left me, baby you left me
'Cause I would never be alone

Girl your beauty
Made me feel like you were my everything
Made me think you was worth it
Yeah I got issues, like you were any better
Said you would always be there
But I just lost my girl

Now I’m alone, said she wanna be ghost, yeah
I don’t really like it, but I gotta take it
Damn, damn, damn, girl
When you coming back?
So you never coming back? Yeah
I-I don’t believe that
But right now I gotta accept the fact that

You left me for somebody else now
I wish I never loved ya
You left me, baby you left me
Girl I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you
You left me for somebody else girl
Girl I wish I never met you
You left me, baby you left me
'Cause I would never be alone

How would you have learned if I ain’t leave?
I guess I was way too naive
I should've been checked you
But I let you get mad disrespectful, huh
Couldn't be serious was was you?
Looking at my new man, wish it was you?
But you're dead now
Sign of the cross on ya chest and ya head now
Guilty is what you plead now
Left Queens, hit Brooklyn I'm on a belt now
Stupid is what you felt now
When you see me on TV have a meltdown
B-b-b-bombs away
Tryna sneak tip hit me when slimes away
Rollie on but I ain’t got time of day
Time'll tell, Chanel, get that Lagerfeld

Now I’m alone, said she wanna be ghost, yeah
I don’t really like it, but I gotta take it
Damn, damn, damn, girl
When you coming back?
So you never coming back? Yeah
I-I don’t believe that
But right now I gotta accept the fact that

You left me for somebody else now
I wish I never loved ya
You left me, baby you left me
Girl I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you
You left me for somebody else girl
Girl I wish I never met you
You left me, baby you left me
