  • You need to go
    Don't look so surprised (you better sing it girl, sing it, sing it, sing it)
    'Cause we had love
    That will be immortalized
    Say you need me now
    So alone without me now
    But our little romance is through
    Because basically, boy, you
    You just don't know what to do, oh (sing it, baby, sing it, baby, sing it

    I can give it to you, but what you gonna do
    With it, if I hit it? I bet you stuck stupid
    Sucking your teeth, don't fuck up my mood
    I'm trying to give it all to you
    I can understand it's things we go through
    Put C's on your bag, let's see this here through
    And we can be as high as receipts from Nobu
    But I gotta get it out of you
    She said, "'Le, throw a ring on it!" (Yeah)
    She don't love you unless she put your whole name on it
    Gettin' money at this age is hard
    Not the datin', I act a way
    When all the pretty bitches love you for your stage presence

    I miss you almost half as much as you miss me (uh, I know you'd say somethin')
    You used to act so tough, bringing insecurity
    Now that I found myself, your eggin' to be mine
    Can't even help yourself from playing the fool each night

    Ooh, how I loved you
    Ooh, how I needed you
    Ooh, boy I feel brand new
    Ooh, since you turned me lose

    Baby, you don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    'Cause you wanna leave
    And you never go
    I'ma set you free boy
    Baby, you don't know

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    You love me more than you love sunny summer days
    And even more than you love floating in a haze
    Boy when you lost my heart, you lost everything
    Now all that you can do is listen to me sing

    Ooh, how I loved you (how I loved you, boy)
    Ooh, how I needed you
    Ooh, boy, I feel brand new
    Ooh, since you turned me lose boy

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    She wanna leave (she said she wanna leave)
    Then you never go (then you never go)
    I'm a set you free (I'm a set you free)
    'Cause baby you don't know

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    I can give it to you, but what you gon' do?
    With it, if I hit it, I bet you stuck stup'
    For the motto that I got, no class in this school, uh
    Take your bags and go boo
    Never mind all of the flexin' I do
    Balenciagas, got me two steppin' on smooth
    Never will I lower my standards, my boo
    I could show you we're attendants like Sampras on cue
    That's kinda funny 'cause love still mean lose
    Unless we kill the record and back-and-forth moves
    Somehow you keep showin', you Aggasi do it
    Um, did you catch it? Ah, screw it (yeah)
    All the girls need is respect and I do it (yeah)
    Never catch feelings 'cause Jet's is my fuel
    Giuseppe my foot, my sweats be En Noir
    So sexy, they ain't sweatin' me, bet you ain't know her

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    You don't know what
    You don't know what
    You don't know what to do

    First yo wanna leave (first you she wanna leave)
    Then you never go (then you never go)
    I'ma set you free (I'ma set you free)
    Baby, you don't know

    You don't know what you do to me
    You don't know what you do to me
    You don't know
    You don't know
    You don't know what you do to me
    You don't know what you do to me
    You don't know
    You don't know
    Said you don't know
