Damn (Should’ve Treated U Right)

[Intro]
Darkchild 9-9
They ain't ready for this one
Ja Rule, Ja Rule
Darkchild, Darkchild

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, damn
I couldn't think about the next man bangin' you
Hit and empower you the way that I used to
You make 'em holler
Yo' cat top-dollar, purrin' wet
Worth puttin' diamonds on your collar
We bounce, hit the switches like a 6-4, follow
Me and you against the world, baby girl, proper
But you broke it
Now she got yo' side of the bed
Yo' six with wide-screen TVs, in the head
You like the livin' dead, 'cause you won't be back
The cat you thought was on, throwin' you off-track
Can't do that, love's like a tug-of-war match
You can't win, you fall in, get too attached
You wanna be where I'm at
Feelin' me, with a climax, nails diggin' my back, headboard outta wack
That love about Ja is what caught your eye
Painful lies and sweet goodbyes, baby, why?

[Chorus: So Plush]
Damn
I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life
I should've treated you right
I should've been by your side
But damn
I slept and let you catch somebody's eye
Now I can't even lie
It's killin' me inside

[Verse 2: Rhonda]
I fell in love with you
See, like they do in movies
You were the generous type
You brought me things I didn't need
Promised to take care of me
But then, I pushed you to leave, yeah-yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1: *Donielle* & Rhonda]
*Money don't make the man, I understand
Since I let you go*
But I could've had
Damn near everything, yeah-yeah
*You see, I should've changed my plans
Let you be my man just for your dough*
And never ever have to explain

[Chorus: So Plush]
Damn
I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Outta my life)
I should've treated you right (Should've been)
I should've been by your side (Ooh)
But damn
I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (How could I?)
Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)
It's killin' me inside

[Verse 3: Rhonda]
It's wrong for me to think this
But I could have handled it
Me playin' you for a fool
Frontin', so romantic
Just to get my wishes granted
I should've did what I had to do, oh

[Pre-Chorus 2: *Raquel* & Rhonda]
*Now when I think it through
I could've been to you a real good girl*
Pretending that this is your world, yeah yeah yeah
*To satisfy all my needs
I could've pleased you a little bit more*
Should've been, could've been, would've been
But these thoughts I just ignored, oh

[Chorus: So Plush]
Damn (Ooh)
I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Walk out my life)
I should've treated you right (I should've been)
I should've been by your side (Oh, ooh)
But damn
I slept and let you catch somebody's eye
Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)
It's killin' me inside (Oh, but damn)
Damn (Oh)
I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (I shouldn't have let you leave)
I should've treated you right (I should've been)
I should've been by your side (I could've been, would've been, yeah)
But damn (Oh, no)
I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (How could you do this to me?)
Now I can't even lie (I can't)
It's killin' me inside (Oh)

[Bridge: Donielle]
You don't even wanna talk to me
You don't wanna be with me anymore (Be with me anymore)
You don't even wanna call at all
But you come around, tryin' to hit me off (Ooh-ooh)
You don't wanna go out with me
I can't stand to see you outta line (Yeah, yeah)
But it's really killin' me, you're not feelin' me
I wish you were mine (You were mine), but

[Chorus: So Plush]
Damn
I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Out my life)
I should've treated you right (Oh yeah)
I should've been by your side (Oh, but)
But damn
I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (Ooh yeah-yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)
It's killin' me inside (Ooh yeah)
Damn (Oh)
I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Walk out of my)
I should've treated you right (Should've been)
I should've been by your side (Oh, oh)
But damn
I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (Yes, I did sleep, yes, I did)
Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)
It's killin' me inside
Damn
