[Intro: Mariah Carey]
Oh
No
[Verse 1: Shawni]
To all my exes need to tell you that I'm sorry (Sorry)
That I didn't leave you sooner
I'm sorry I gave you more time than I shoulda
'Cause I shoulda walked right by you that day
When you told me I was cute
Shoulda smiled, said, "Thank you" and walked away
But it's something about the dudes that be rude and only rock the wheat Timbs
That ain't got no Snapple apple when they come, they off the Remy
I mean really, I clearly needa be careful with myself
Needa be careful and watch my step 'cause I ain't fell for a real one yet
Yeah, I still ain't admit to my feelings, pretending my feelings ain't in it
I admit it, I settle for less, and that is exactly what I been getting
Instead of the man I know I deserve, I settle for boys that get on my nerves
And then I be mad like, "What is you doin'?"
Mad at them when you the one choosin' and using 'em to feel that empty void
That only God's supposed to fill
But I go against his will, for the thrill of that fake love
Instead of waiting on something real
I just settle for them feelings that I feel, no deal
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
I ain't even mad, no, not like befo'
Off with your head, now slither out the door
Snakes in the grass, it's time to cut the lawn
Ed Scissorhands, AKA "I cut you off" (No)
You ain't gonna lie to my face no mo'
Hit me with "I'm sorry," but I'm sorry, (No)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na (No)
Get me Ed Shapiro on the phone
Case closed
Oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
You shoulda known that it's bigger than you
You'll never know what I already knew
After everything I already been through
I can't waste no time, pay no 'tention to you
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I said no
No, no, no
A no-no
No, no
That's a no-no
No, no
I said no-no
No, no
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
You came so close, you just don't know
Irregardless of what transpired
It ain't even worthy of a slick reply
Even if I was the last woman alive
I would be like Ginger, you ain't Gilligan
I really don't care, I'm in love with the island
Rockin' Dior 'cause it goes with my diamonds
Got a pink gown Custom by Alaia
I'll be on stage when the stadium light up
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
You shoulda' known that it's bigger than you
You'll never know what I already knew
After everything I already been through
I can't waste no time, pay no 'tention to you
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I said no
No, no, no
A no-no
No, no
That's a no-no
No, no
I said no-no
No, no
I said no
(I said no)
A no-no
No, no
That's a no-no
No, no, I said no-no
No, no
No
[Verse 3: Shawni]
Care for me, care for me
Even though it ain't true, they don't love me, they just love what I do
But ayy, I be lying when I say it too
So bae, I'm sorry that I didn't leave you sooner
I'm sorry I gave you more time than I should've
'Cause I knew I should've left you as a groupie 'stead of giving you my best
I'm not sorry, had to cut you like a check
Write you off and level up like my yacht's top deck
'Cause you was just disappearing, now I ride a jet
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I said no
(I said no)
A no-no
(Look)
I said no-no
That's a no-no
(I said no)
No, no
I said no-no
(No)
(No, no, no)
(No, no, no)
(No, no, no)
(And I said no)
(No, no, no)
[Outro: Mariah Carey]
Parlez-vous français? I said non
Lemme translate it, I said no
I can say it en español
No
(No no no no)
Portuguese for you não
Japanese for you (iie)
(I said no)
(I said it)
(I said no)
I said no
I think, I think that was it
Yep
