["Only gonna play the fool one time","Go on girl, go on girl","","I've realized that she don't know how to act","Trust me when I say that I'll be okay","Trust me when I say that I'll be okay","I was inviting her into my heart","I'll be fine","Guess I was wrong but see I'm strong","","I'm too fly to be depressed","","","Guess I was wrong, but see I'm strong","Only gonna play the fool one time","Not a single salty tear","I was the good guy, she was the bad girl","","I've realized that she don't know how to act","Go on girl, go on girl, go on girl","She at the bar getting drinks from many men","Won't take long for me to move on","","","","Please don't worry 'bout me I'm fine","Not a feeling in my chest","I look back now like, man, I was open","Only gonna play the fool one time","I just had a slight lack of common sense","I know that I can do much better","","Go on girl, go on girl, go on girl","We never should've been together","","","Please don't worry 'bout me I'm fine","She was my night time, thought I was her star","Trust me when I say that I'll be okay","I was inviting her into my heart","","Won't take long for me to move on","Never been a dumb dude, no I'm not dense","She was my night time, thought I was her star","That's the reason you're not here","But she was out riding in some other man's car","Tried to settle down and look what I get","Only gonna play the fool one time","Trust me when I say that I'll be okay","Thought it was my time but I guess not yet","Go on girl, go on girl, go on girl","But love for me, she didn't have any","Yep she had plenty","","Go on girl, go on girl","I can't get it back, but I don't want it back","Please don't worry 'bout me I'm fine","Go on girl, go on girl, go on girl","The mistake I made is clear","I'm in the house, thinking she's with her girlfriends","I can't get it back, but I don't want it back","Just not knowing, truly not knowing","But she was out riding in some other man's car","Go on girl, go on girl, go on girl","Please don't worry 'bout me I'm fine","Baby I'm feeling no stress","I'm thinking one girl, she thinking me, Earl, James and Jimmy"]
