I heard he spent five hundred pounds on jeans
D/F#Goes to the gym at least Emsix times a week
CWears boat shoes with Bmno socks on his feet
And I Dhear he’s on a new diet and wEmatches what he eats
He’s got his Emeyebrows plucked and his Gasshole bleached
Owns D/F#every single Ministry EmCD
CTribal tattoos and he don’t Bmknow what it means
But I Dheard he makes you happy, so that’s Emfine by me
But Emstill, I’m just kGeepin’ it real
Still D/F#lookin’ at your Instagram and I’ll be cEmreepin’ a lil’
I’ll be Ctryin’ not to double tapBm, from way back
‘Cause I Dknow that’s where the trouble’s atEm, let me remind you of the days when
You used to Ghold my hand
And when we D/F#sipped champagne out of cEmider cans
I guess if yCou were Louis Lane, I wasn’t BmSuperman
Just a yDoung boy tryin’ to be loEmved

Your new man rents a house in the ‘burb
And wears a D/F#man bag on his shoulder, but I Emcall it a purse
Every Cyear, he goes to Málaga wiBmth all the fellas
Drinks bDeer, but has a six pack, I’m kEminda jealous
He wears Emsunglasses indoors, in wGinter, at nighttime
And eD/F#very time a rap song comes Emon, he makes a gang sign
CSays, “Chune! Boydem Bmlight up the room,"
But eDnough about him, girl, let’s Emtalk about you
You were the tEmype of girl who sat beside the wGater readin’
