How 'bout you? How 'bout you? You took my love for granted You left me lost and disenchanted Bulldoze my heart as if you planned it My prince was so unjustly handsome Who was a knight in shining armor? I could've sworn you loved me harder Might as well down this Caymus bottle I ain't the type to play the martyr How 'bout you get the f*ck out? How 'bout you get the f*ck out? Get the f*ck out (How 'bout you) take your tings and be on your merry way Fly off with a wink, bye bye baby How about you scusez me, let me call your valet (You just) take your tings and be on your merry way My friends all saw it in your eyes They told me once, they told me twice I looked beyond all the signs I guess fool's love makes you blind, ay Who was a knight in shining armor? (You, you, you) I coulda swore you loved me harder (You, you, you) Might as well down this Caymus bottle (You, you, you) I ain't the type to play the martyr How 'bout you get the f*ck out? (how about) How 'bout you get the f*ck out? How about you get the f*ck out? (How 'bout you) take your tings and be on your merry way (How 'bout you) fly off with a wink, bye bye, baby How about you scusez me, let me call your valet (How 'bout you) take your tings and be on your merry way How 'bout you get the f*ck out? (F*ck out, f*ck out) Don't tell me these lies when you're bluffing How 'bout you get the f*ck out? Go stay at your friend's house or something Don't mean to be rude, but take your shit and leave (How 'bout you) Go stay at your friend's house or something (How 'bout you) Go and stay with your homeboy, he was talking too (How 'bout you) I ain't tryna be rude, but you're lucky (How 'bout you) I kicked your ass out last weekend (How 'bout you) take your things and be on your merry way (How 'bout you) fly off with a wink Bye bye, baby
