[Verse 1]
I know the reason you've been crying, oh yes
I heard she won't be needing you
How does it feel being the one left behind?
What's a matter baby? Is it hurting you?
[Verse 2]
I know you found out she's been cheating
And I heard she even told you she was untrue
How does it feel being on the outside looking in?
What's a matter baby? is it hurting you?
[Bridge]
Remember?
Remember when I needed you so bad?
Remember?
Remember what you had to say?
You told me to go find another shoulder to cry on
Then you laughed
You laughed and you walked away
[Verse 3]
I know that you've been asking 'bout me (ha-ha)
Well I'm sorry but I've got somebody new
And my hurting is just about over
But baby, it's just starting for you!
[Outro]
Oh, what's a matter baby?
Remember?
Do you remember how you hurt me, child?
Well I'm paying you back right now
