It's after midnight, and she's on your phone (phone)
Saying, "Come over", 'cause she's all alone ('lone)
I could tell it was your ex by your tone (tone)
But why is she calling now, after so long?

Now, what is it that she wants?
Tell me, what is it that she needs?
Did she hear about the brand new Benz that you just bought for me?
'Cause y'all didn't have no kids, didn't share no mutual friends
And you told me that she turned trick when y'all broke up in '96

What you gonna do when you can't say no?
And the feelings start to show, boy, I really need to know
And how you gonna act, how you gonna handle that?
What you gonna do when she wants you back?

What you gonna do when you can't say no?
And the feelings start to show, boy, I really need to know
And how you gonna act, how you gonna handle that?

Tell me why she on the phone in the middle of the night?
Tell me why she in your life, tryna get what's mine?
She don't know me, she's about to know me
