[Intro]
Chopped vocals
[Verse 1]
Oh girl, you're such a beauty queen
We met when we were seventeen
And as the summer, we went wild, ooh-oh
You held your feelings deep inside
You're even pretty when you cry
Girl, you look better when you smile (Smile, smile, smile)
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Girl, you never said goodbye
Singing, "Oh, oh"
'Cause I never said goodbye
[Verse 2]
Baby, you hit me with no warning
Shawty, you had me so devoted
Making a mess in my emotions (Oh, oh, oh)
High adrenaline
Like an American
Partying through the night
And we thought it would never end
When we met at the Sheraton
And that was our first time
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Girl, you never said goodbye
Singing, "Oh, oh"
'Cause I never said goodbye
[Bridge]
Baby, you started screaming, shouting
Say that you love me, scream it louder
Say it now
Baby, you started screaming, shouting
Say that you love me, scream it louder
Say it now
[Outro]
