[Verse 1]
Another Friday night
Of you blowing my phone
Talking 'bout that you're all alone
What's that gotta do with me?
Since you broke me off
You ain't crossed my mind
So, I don't know why you waste your time
I guess you're not over me
So, I'm saying
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Was I mistaken? I thought that we were through
Your tone is changing, you wanna be my baby again
Hope you ain't waiting for me to come on through
Because I'm done, have you heard the news?
[Chorus 1]
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, oh yeah
Make sure you shut the door behind you
I'm basically over you, so, don't bother me
'Cause I can do much better than you
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, you did me wrong for way too long
And that's the reason for this song
Boy, what planet are you on?
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, honey
Make sure you shut the door behind you
[Verse 2]
Another Friday night
Of you blowing my phone
Talking 'bout that you're alone
What's that gotta do with me?
And I found myself another man
So why I should I give a damn?
You don't mean nothing to me
So, I'm singing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I'm not mistaken, you've broke it off with me (With me?)
Your tone is changing, you wanna be my baby again
Hope you ain't waiting, checking out where I've been
Because we are done, we are history (Sing along!)
[Chorus 1]
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, oh yeah
Make sure you shut the door behind you
I'm basically over you, so, don't bother me
'Cause I can do much better than you
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, you did me wrong for way too long
And that's the reason for this song
Boy, what planet are you on?
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, honey
Make sure you shut the door behind you
[Bridge]
I'm over you!
Basically over, basically over, basically over, basically over
If I'm not mistaken, I thought that we were through
Basically over, basically over
But clearly baby, you ain't over me
As much as I am over you, yeah!
[Chorus 1]
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, honey
Make sure you shut the door behind you
I'm basically over you, so, don't bother me
'Cause I can do much better than you
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, you did me wrong for way too long
And that's the reason for this song
Boy, what planet are you on?
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, honey
Make sure you shut the door behind you
[Chorus 2]
I'm basically over you, so goodbye, oh yeah
Basically over, basically over
I'm basically over you, so, don't mind, don't mind
Basically over, basically over
Bye, baby!
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, you did me wrong for way too long
And that's the reason for this song
Boy, what planet are you on?
I'm basically over you, so, goodbye, honey
Make sure you shut the door behind you
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
