Darkchild ‘99

They ain’t ready for this one
Ja Rule {Ja Rule}, Darkchild {Darkchild}
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Damn, I couldn’t think about the next man bangin’ you
Hittin’ the power you the way that I used to
You make me holler, you’re cat top dollars purr when wet
Worth puttin’ diamonds on your collar, we bounce
Hit the switches like the ’64 Impala
Me and you against the world, baby girl
But you broke and now she got your side of the bed
Your 6 with wide-screen TVs in the head
You like the livin’ dead ‘cause you won’t be back
The cat you thought was on, throwin’ you off track
Can’t do that, love’s like a tug of war match
You can’t win, you fall in, get too attached
You wanna be where I’m at, feelin’ me when I climax
Nails dig in my back, head board outta whack
What you love about Ja is what caught your eye
Painful lies and sweet good-byes, baby why

Damn, I shouldn’t have let you walk right out of my life
I should’ve treated you right, I should’ve been by your side
But damn, I slept and let you catch somebody’s eye
Now I can’t even lie, it’s killin’ me inside

I fell in love with you, see, like they do in movies
You were the generous type
You brought me things I didn’t need, promised to take care of me
But then I pushed you to leave, yeah, yeah

Money don’t make the man, I understand, since I let you go
That I could’ve had damn near everything, yeah, yeah
You see I should’ve changed my plans, let you be my man just for your dough
And never ever have to explain

Damn, I shouldn’t have let you walk right out of my life (Out of my life)
I should’ve treated you right (Should’ve been), I should’ve been by your side (Ooh)
But damn, I slept and let you catch somebody’s eye (Caught their eye)
Now I can’t even lie (It’s killin’ me), it’s killin’ me inside

{Second verse}

It’s wrong for me to think this, but I could have handled it
Me playin’ you for a fool
Frontin’, so romantic, just to get my wishes granted
I should’ve did what I had to do, oh

Now when I think it through I could’ve been to you a real good girl
It didn’t mean that this is your world, yeah, yeah, yeah
To satisfy all my needs I should’ve pleased you a little bit more
Should’ve been, could’ve been, would’ve been, but these thoughts I just ignored, oh

Damn (Ooh), I shouldn’t have let you walk right out of my life (Walk out my life)
I should’ve treated you right (I should’ve been), I should’ve been by your side (Oh...oh...hoo...hoo...)
But damn, I slept and let you catch somebody’s eye (Catch somebody’s eye)
Now I can’t even lie (It’s killin’ me), it’s killin’ me inside (Oh, but)

Damn (Oh), I shouldn’t have let you walk right out of my life (I shouldn’t have let you leave)
I should’ve treated you right, (I should’ve been), I should’ve been by your side
But damn (Oh, no), I slept and let you catch somebody’s eye (How could you do that to me)
Now I can’t even lie (I can’t), It’s killin’ me inside (Oh)

You don’t even wanna talk to me
You don’t wanna be with me anymore (Be with me anymore)
You don’t even wanna call at all
But you come around tryin’ to hit me off (Ooh, ooh)

You don’t wanna go out with me
I can’t stand to see you outta line (Yeah, yeah)
But it’s really killin’ me, you’re not feelin’ me
I wish that you were mine (You were mine)

But damn, I shouldn’t have let you walk right out of my life (Out my life)
I should’ve treated you right (Oh, yeah), I should’ve been by your side (Oh, but)
But damn, I slept and let you catch somebody’s eye (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I can’t even lie (It’s killin’ me), it’s killin’ me inside (Ooh, yeah)

Damn (Oh), I shouldn’t have let you walk right out of my life (Walk out my)
I should’ve treated you right (Should’ve been), I should’ve been by your side (Oh, oh)
But damn, I slept and let you catch somebody’s eye
Now I can’t even lie (It’s killin’ me), it’s killin’ me inside

Damn
