[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Uh, they loved✦ her fancy✦ underwear
Every✦ boyfriend, every✦ year
She tried to keep them entertained
When they can hardly✦ remember her name, ah
She did everything✦ she could
Just to make them laugh and treat her good
She finds herself✦ alone✦
Askin'✦ herself,✦ where did she go wrong
She didn't realize✦ she chased✦ the type of guys
That don't believe in ties, tryin' to apologize✦
Never✦ forget the day she left and walked✦ away✦
And I couldn't stop her, I guess she had it all
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
She had it all figured✦ out
When she left me with a broken✦ heart
Fucked✦ around✦ and turned✦ me down
'Cause she didn't think I could play the part
But now the prom queen, the prom queen
Is cryin', sittin'✦ outside✦ of my door
See, you never✦ know how
How everything✦ can turn around✦
[Bridge: Lil Wayne]
Yeah
Yeah
Oh
Uh
Uh
[Chorus: Lil Wayne & Shanell]
She had it all figured✦ out
When she left me with a broken✦ heart
Fucked✦ around✦ and turned✦ me down
'Cause she didn't think I could play the part
But now the prom queen, the prom queen
Is cryin', sittin'✦ outside✦ of my door
See, you never✦ know how
How everything✦ can turn around✦
