[Intro: Bootsy Collins]
Wait a minute, this love started out so tender, so sweet
But now she got me smokin' out the window
Mm, mm, mm
[Verse 1: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak]
Must've spent thirty-five, forty-five thousand up in Tiffany's (Oh no)
Got her badass kids runnin' 'round my whole crib
Like it's Chuck E. Cheese (Woah, woah)
Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC
Can't believe it (Can't believe it)
I'm in disbelief
[Pre-Chorus: Anderson .Paak & Bruno Mars]
This bitch got me payin' her rent, payin' for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrists
And here I am all alone (All alone)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold
You got me out here
[Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak]
Smokin' out the window (Smokin' out the window)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?"
(How could she do this to me?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (Mmm)
But I was wrong
'Cause she belong
To everybody, everybody, ooh
[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]
Just the other night, she was grippin' on me tight
Screamin', "Hercules" (Hercules, Hercules)
Got me in the club lookin' for a new love
Someone help me, please (Help me, please, help me, please)
Baby, why you doin' this? Why you doin' this to me, girl?
Not to be dramatic, but I wanna die
[Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars]
This bitch got me payin' her rent, payin' for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrists
And here I am all alone (All alone)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold
You got me out here
[Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak]
Smokin' out the window (Smokin' out the window of the Benzo, the Benzo)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?" (How? How could she do this?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (One thing's for sure, one thing's for sure)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
'Cause she belong (She belong)
To everybody, everybody (Yeah, she belong to everybody)
(That girl, yes, she belong to everybody) Ooh
[Interlude: Anderson .Paak]
(Oh no)
Look here, baby, I hope you find whatever it is that you need
But I also hope that your triflin' ass is walkin' 'round barefoot in these streets
Look out
[Bridge: Bruno Mars]
Girl, it breaks my heart that you ain't right here with me
Now I gotta give you back (Gotta give you back)
To the city, oh, you got me
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
Smokin' out the window (Ooh)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?" (How could you?)
(How could you do this, baby?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (Woo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
'Cause she belong (She belong)
To everybody, everybody (Yeah, she belong to everybody)
(Yeah, yeah, she belong to everybody) Ooh
