Case of the Ex (Whatcha Gonna Do) Lyrics

[Intro: Tricky]
Yeah, Mýa
RedZone, what, what?
Uh

[Verse 1]
It's after midnight and she's on your phone (Phone)
Saying, "Come over," 'cause she's all alone ('Lone)
I could tell it was your ex by your tone (Tone)
Why is she callin' now after so long?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what is it that she wants?
Tell me, what is it that she needs?
Did she hear about the brand new Benz
That you just bought for me?
'Cause y'all didn't have no kids
Didn't share no mutual friends
And you told me that she turned trick
When y'all broke up in '96

[Chorus]
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show, boy, I really need to know and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back?
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show, boy, I really need to know and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back?

[Verse 2]
There's no need to reminisce 'bout the past (Past)
Obviously, 'cause that shit did not last (Last)
I know how a woman will try to game you (You)
So don't get caught up because, baby, you'll lose

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what is it that she wants? (What is it that she wants?)
Tell me what is it that she needs? (She needs)
Did she hear about the brand new Benz
That you just bought for me? (Bought for me)
'Cause y'all didn't have no kids (Didn't have no kids)
Didn't share no mutual friends (No, no, no, no)
And you told me that she turned trick
When y'all broke up in '96

[Chorus]
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy, I really need to know and (I really need to know, baby)
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back?
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no? (Oh, no)
When the feelings start to show
Boy, I really need to know and (Oh)
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back?

[Chorus]
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no? (Whatcha gonna do?)
When the feelings start to show
Boy, I really need to know and (Ooh)
How you gonna act?
How you gonna handle that? (How you gonna handle that?)
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back? (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no? (Whatcha gonna do?)
When the feelings start to show, boy, I really need to know and
How you gonna act? (Oh, how you gonna handle it, babe?)
How you gonna handle that?
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back?

[Bridge]
Tell me, why she on the phone in the middle of the night? (Middle of the night)
Tell me, why she in your life tryna get what's mine? (All mine)
She don't know me, she's about to know me
I'm in your life (Uh-uh), that's how it's gon' be (That's how it's gonna be, yeah)
I seen her photo, she ain't even all that (All that, all that)
So if you want her back, you can take her back
'Cause game recognize game, I could do the same thing
Get it right, change or take back this ring

[Chorus]
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy, I really need to know and (Oh)
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that? (Yeah)
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back? (Yeah, oh)
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show (I need to know)
Boy, I really need to know and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back? (Wants you back)

[Chorus]
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no? (No)
When the feelings start to show
Boy, I really need to know and (Ooh)
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that? (Oh)
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back? (Oh)
Whatcha gon' do when you can't say no? (Oh)
When the feelings start to show
Boy, I really need to know and (Oh)
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that? (Oh)
Whatcha gon' do when she wants you back? (Wants you back)

[Outro: Tricky]
Yeah
Play wit' it right now
Uh, Mýa
Yeah, Mýa
RedZone, what, what?
