[Intro – Spoken over beat]
Oh, he told you he left me?
Girl, stop.
I made that choice — trust.
⸻
[Verse 1]
He’s runnin’ ‘round talkin’ big, tellin’ tales
Sayin’ I miss him, but that ship done sailed
He’s actin’ like he called the play
But I’m the one who walked away
(Ad-libs: “yeah, I packed him up”)
You think he’s bold, but I see scared
Couldn’t handle love, couldn’t meet me there
I gave him chances, gave him time
But baby, I can’t raise no man of mine
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s out there actin’ like he set me free
But we both know he ain’t leavin’ me
He was beggin’ for one more try
I told him, “Boy, I’m done, goodbye”
⸻
[Chorus]
As if I ever wanna see his face again
He wasn’t even that good to begin with
As if I ever needed him or his shit
Baby, as if — girl, I said as if
(Backgrounds: “as if, uh-huh, as if, yeah yeah”)
(Ad-libs: “boy please… you wish…”)
⸻
[Verse 2]
You got him now, but don’t be fooled
He’s tryna act brand new with you
He’s tellin’ lies, tryna hide the past
But you’re just livin’ in my aftermath
(Ad-libs: “you can have that mess”)
He wasn’t loyal, wasn’t strong
I held it down for way too long
So if he’s standin’ by your side
Remember, girl — I let him slide
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don’t get it twisted, I ain’t mad at you
You’re just the next one he’ll run through
But if you think he left me clean
You’re dreamin’, baby — know what I mean
⸻
[Chorus – full harmony stack]
As if I ever wanna see his face again
He wasn’t even that good to begin with
As if I ever needed him or his shit
Baby, as if — girl, I said as if
As if he ever made me lose my sleep
As if his love was somethin’ deep
As if I’d ever take that trip
Baby, as if — yeah, I said as if
⸻
[Bridge – breakdown, spoken & sung mix]
He tried to say he’s doin’ fine
But he still check my page from time to time
I’m not bitter, just had to laugh
He’s history — I’m his better half
(Ad-libs: “better half, yeah yeah”)
He didn’t mean to go, he had no choice
I made that move, I used my voice
So if he’s yours now, girl, congrats
But don’t forget who gave you that
⸻
[Final Chorus – attitude, harmonies in full]
As if I ever wanna see his face again
He wasn’t even that good to begin with
As if I ever needed him or his shit
Baby, as if — girl, I said as if
As if he ever made me lose my sleep
As if his love was somethin’ deep
As if I’d ever take that trip
Baby, as if — yeah, I said as if
⸻
[Outro – Spoken Fade]
You can keep him, girl — I insist
He’s your problem now, not on my list
He didn’t mean to leave, I made him go
You should thank me though…
As if.
