[Verse] I never let the joker out my sight Never went broke on an all or nothing Never made a bet so out of line Till I met you & I hit the ground running And now I must say I’ve never seen so much weakness in one place Hey, what’s a 20-inch bicep with no strength? ‘Cause you’ve been wrapping it around all the wrong things [Chorus] And you were singing my praise, saying I'm magic And then you turned back—oh baby, what happened? ‘Cause I was all in the minute I found you Ready & set & willing to crown you king King King King [Verse 2] Never should a joker catch my eye But I looked over & I caught some feelings Saw a couple things that I really liked But you got caught up in the big daydreaming It’s what you don’t say; It’s like a pretty black Cadillac with no brakes; It’s like your girlfriend lying to you boldface; I’m just a side chick laying down a cold case [Chorus] And you were singing my praise, saying I'm magic And then you turned back—oh baby, what happened? ‘Cause I was all in the minute I found you Ready & set & willing to crown you king King King King [Breakdown] You know it ain't right So what you doing now, calling me at midnight? I’ve done nothing but given you the good life— I mean, I really would’ve been a good wife, but [Chorus 2] Keep singing my praise, saying I’m magic; I’ll be keeping my name & kicking this habit ‘Cause I was all in the minute I found you Ready & set & willing to crown you king You were singing my praise, saying I'm magic (Who was singing my, you were singing my praise) And then you turned back—oh baby, what happened? (You said you'd never turn back but, hey) Go on, give me that lip, give me that passion (Ooh, look at you, sick with the passion) But my baby don’t trip—you know that I’m savage (You should've known that I'm a savage) King
