Breakup Lyrics by Kortnee Simmons

2021

[Verse 1]
I shoulda known better
When they said that you lied
Play pretend, but I tried
So whatever...
How am I the one to blame
When you keep playin' games
I just let him

Shoulda never told me you would act right
Comin' in late, smellin like the bar, pickin' fights all night, all night
Damn, what would you do without me
It's a shame we can't be united
Change ya point of view, don't you watch the news
Puppets pulling strings, troubles coming through
Last thing I need to do is waste time with you
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me

I shoulda known better
When they said that you lied
Play pretend, but I tried
So whatever...
How am I the one to blame
When you keep playin' games

[Chorus]
But when I break up, I break up, I break up
Don't need no makeup, no makeup, no makeup
I get my cake up, just shake up, no bake up
I mean I don't need you for nothing
I just turned you into something, baby

[Verse 2]
I shoulda known better
Lie after lie
Try after try
To hide
The truth it was inevitable, creditable
You told me 'bout ya late-night moves
Whispers on the phone thinking no ones home
I just copped a crib, left my cameras on
Peeking thru the blinds, but you say you grown
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck me

[Bridge]
You said that you'd be different, but you lied 'bout that
I seen your phone, the streets are calling... (break music?)
(Adlib: Hello, yeah you can have him back)

[Chorus]
But when I break up, I break up, I break up
Don't need no makeup, no makeup, no makeup
I get my cake up, just shake up, no bake up
I mean I don't need you for nothing
I just turned you into something

When I break up, I break up, I break up
Don't need no makeup, no makeup, no makeup
I get my cake up, just shake up, no bake up
I mean I don't need you for nothing
I just turned you into something, baby

[Outro: Spoken]
And you can leave my phone
The keys to my house...matter of fact just leave all my keys
Right there. Car key too, yup both of em, obviously
*giggles*
