  • I wake up to detect messages in my email
    This what I get for messin' wit pretty females
    It's a crazy life, yeah it's a mad world
    Where good dudes will betray you over a bad girl

    And bad girls, they take advantage of good dudes
    Smear your name in the press and call it good news
    Oh he hot now? oh he blowin' up?
    Call the cops restraining order for showin' up

    If I was you I'd be seeing if I was OK
    We had a problem you didn't call me the whole day
    Your girlfriend picked up the phone and hung up on me
    Who is she to do that she don't even know me

    Fuck the "He say she say",
    The 'blame game' blasting Kanye on the freeway
    I called my mother up for advice she said son, you should hold your heart
    Girls play the victim so well, Joan of arc

    I took a chance on romance, I loved you
    And now that it burns, still I yearn to touch you
    And the question is
    Who gon' love you like I love you, baby
    Who gon' love you like I love you, now?
    Who gon' love you like I love you, baby, baby

    Listen, I know you must be mad look how you lost it

    You should work it out wit me tho I'm the one who caused it
    I should've cleaned the skeletons from my closet
    Drivin' to my apocalypse with 400 horses

    Drop dead gorgeous unfair advantage
    You deserve an Emmy award for all your antics
    Caught up in a battle of curse word semantics
    Tryna find our way back home from Atlantis

    You had your father call me zero empathy
    Reading about your new first date like it's meant for me
    Tryna stay focused on winnin' yeah, hold my course
    Meanwhile you infiltrated my heart a Trojan horse

    They say in love and war, all's fair
    But when you break up and go out, yeah, they all stare
    Obfuscating the real reason we've grown apart
    You played the victim so well Joan of arc

    I took a chance on romance, I loved you
    And now that it burns, still I yearn to touch you
    And the question is
    Who gon' love you like I love you, baby
    Who gon' love you like I love you, now?
    Who gon' love you like I love you, baby, baby

    Tryna figure out what the past meant
    And since when a birthday gift is harassment
    A rose gold bracelet nothing subliminal
    You called your lawyer up said my actions were criminal

    And now as I'm sittin' with a pad in this motherfuckin' holding cell
    I'm thinking how could you do this to me? you cold as hell
    A young emperor exiled, Bonaparte
    Everything I fought for, lost Joan of arc

    I took a chance on romance, I loved you
    And now that it burns, still I yearn to touch you
    And the question is
    Who gon' love you like I love you, baby
    Who gon' love you like I love you, now?
    Who gon' love you like I love you, baby, baby Writer/s: RYAN LESLIE
