Ro Ransom declared himself “the future” back on his 2014 mixtape, and today he continues to sound like it. With the release of “Doppelgänger,” Ransom proves once again he’s a versatile and talented songwriter, wielding a sweet, seasoned singing voice on a song that pulls from dancehall sounds. While...
[Verse 1]
Over and over and over again
Played with my heart and I let you back in
Hope you had fun getting under my skin
'Cause I can see now what I couldn't see then
Probably should've just taken it slow
You took advantage when you took me home
You should've known I was gone off the mauve
And I should've known you would leave me alone
[Pre-Hook]
I don't need this girl
Don't come back for me
I believed in you
Then you magically
[Hook 1]
You went from the only one to a girl I don't know
And how you made me fall in love, baby girl, I don't know
(I don't fucking know)
How I let you game on me 'cause you ain't worth shit, girl, you're just like me
[Verse 2]
Telling your people about what we did
Who let you crash when you ain't have no crib?
Who gave you cash when you ain't have no checks?
Now you did me dirty, now you got me worried
'Cause goddamn it girl, how was I so naive?
You said all of these things I just could not believe
Like, "I love you, I need you, I got you" - that's not you
Man, all my friends said I should watch you and I
[Pre-Hook]
I don't need this girl
Don't come back for me
I believed in you
Then you magically, yeah
[Hook 2]
You went from the only one to a girl I don't know
And how it even hurts this much, baby girl, I don't know, oh, oh
(I don't fucking know)
How I let you game on me 'cause you ain't worth shit, girl, you're just like me
[Bridge]
I came with you
Fell asleep and I stayed with you
So, go ahead, you can say what you want
But, girl, I let you lean on me
And while it may be true
Girl, it's still too late for you
'Cause it may not be a day, a week, a month
But karma's coming, we gon' see
Riding around the city
Drunk 'cause you ain't with me
Shit you been on got me thinking you was raised different
'Cause now you all changed different
Now you all looking like you ain't never seen nobody
Like you ain't never seen nobody
You're a motherfuckin' monster girl, you're all the wrong I've ever done
Oooh, oo-ooh
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Yeah
[Reprise]
Over and over and over again
I let you win
But, girl, that's just life, I'll take that on the chin
Plus I couldn't ever be mad at my twin
"Fuck, shit, oh my God"
I can't believe how much I let you lie
Told myself you'd be right here by my side
All of this time
I must've been high
[Hook 2]
You went from the only one to a girl I don't know
And how it even hurts this much, baby girl, I don't know, oh, oh
(I don't fucking know)
How I let you game on me 'cause you ain't worth shit, girl, you're just like me
[Break]
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
[Hook 2]
You went from the only one to a girl I don't know
And how it even hurts this much, baby girl, I don't know, oh, oh
(I don't fucking know)
How I let you game on me 'cause you ain't worth shit, girl, you're just like me
