Go On Girl
Ne-Yo · Because Of You [2007]
I can't get it back,
But I don't wanna back up,
I realize that,
She don't know how to act,
Never been a dumb dude no I'm not dense,
I just had a slight lack of common sense,
I was the good guy, she was the bad girl,
I'm thinkin one girl, she's thinkin me earl, james, and jimmy
Yea she had plenty,
But love for me she didn't have any,
[Pre-Chorus]
I was inviting her into my heart,
She was out riding in some other man's car,
She was my nighttime, thought I was her star,
Guess I was wrong, but see I'm strong,
Won't take long for me to move on,
[Chorus]
Please don't worry bout me I'm fine,
(please don't worry bout me I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time,
(only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say,
That I'll be okay,
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl
[Verse 2]
I can't get it back,
But I don't wanna back up,
I realize that,
She don't know how to act,
Try to settle down and look what I get,
Thought it was my time but I guess not yet,
She's at the bar, gettin drinks from many men,
I'm at the house, thinkin she's with her girlfriends,
Just not knowin, truly not knowin,
I look back now like man I was open,
[Pre-Chorus]
I was inviting her into my heart,
She was out riding in some other man's car,
She was my nighttime, thought I was her star,
Guess I was wrong, but see I'm strong,
Won't take long for me to move on,
[Chorus]
Please don't worry bout me I'm fine,
(please don't worry bout me I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time,
(only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say,
That I'll be okay,
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl
[Verse 3]
The mistake I made is clear,
We never should've been together,
That's the reason you're not here,
I know that I can do much better,
Not a single salty tear,
Not a feeling in my chest,
Baby I'm feelin no stress,
I'm too fly to be depressed,
Go on girl (go on girl) go on girl
Go on girl (go on girl) go on girl
[Chorus]
Please don't worry bout me I'm fine,
(please don't worry bout me I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time,
(only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say,
That I'll be okay,
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl
[Chorus]
Please don't worry bout me I'm fine,
(please don't worry bout me I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time,
(only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say,
That I'll be okay,
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl (go on girl)
Go on girl
Go on girl go on girl go on girl
I'll be fine
