“You Had Your Chance” is a song from Mariah Carey’s Charmbracelet album. It contains a sample of Leon Hayward’s song “I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You.” Coincidentally, Jermaine Dupri also produced Aaliyah’s “I Gotcha Back” in 1996 which interpolates the same Haywood song.

[Refrain]
Sorry, but you had your chance
Uh
(You had your chance baby)
Come on
I'm sorry, but you had your chance
(You had your chance baby)
I'm sorry, but you had your chance
(You had your chance baby)
Haha
I'm sorry, but you had your chance
(You had your chance baby)
Take 'em to the club MC
[Verse 1]
Well, it's been a while
Uh-huh
Since I looked into your eyes
Never dreamed I'd see you tonight
And it's interesting that I
Just don't feel a thing
For the so-called love of my life, my life
Say what
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to be close
But you didn't love me
Uh-uh
We used to be best friends
But you never really cared
I let you into my soul
I didn't know you couldn't be trusted
It took me so long to forget
All the little things we shared
Come on
[Chorus]
And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance (Oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Yeah
You see, I spent so many sleepless nights
Trying to block you from my mind
Uh-huh
I was so convinced
I'd die without you once upon a time
Now my eyes are open and I can see
You were devious and shady
Only trifling with me
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to be close
But you didn't love me
Haha
We used to be best friends
(Used to be like best friends)
But you never really cared
(No)
I let you into my soul
I didn't know you couldn't be trusted
(I didn't know, I didn't know)
It took me so long to forget
All the little things we shared
(Oh, and now)
[Chorus]
And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
(After)
Yeah
I was your fool
(I was your fool in the past, though that is over)
But that's all in the past
(So sorry, boy)
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance
(Hmm)
Come on!
[Bridge]
Where were you when I needed you most?
Oh, uh-huh
Would've done anything to hold you close
(Anything, just to hold you close)
Would've given the whole world to be back in your arms
That's (?) right there
But you left me so torn apart
MC talk (?)
[Chorus]
And now you want me back again
(Say you want me back again)
After my heartache and suffering
(After my heartache and suffering)
I was your fool
(I was your fool)
But that's all in the past
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance
(So sorry, boy)
[Outro]
And now you want me back again
Yeah
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance
And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance
And now you want me back again
Uh-huh, everybody rock on
After my heartache and suffering
Come on
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance
And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that's all in the past
So sorry, boy, but you had your chance
