"Shoulda Never (feat. Usher)"

I tried to tell myself your never going to get it again

Laying here next to you, is not what I intended again

How did you crack the code? (code)

When don't nobody know

How to get me in position

I thought about your ass, you found another way to get in (found another way to get in)

Through all my inner thoughts, I'm thinking about us getting it in (I'm thinking about us getting it in)

On every counter top (top)

I'm yelling please don't stop (please don't stop)

And you know where it's going

Somebody told me this was it (ouu)

That you was on some different shit (ouu)

I woulda made a decision that was better than this

Instead of wasting my time

I tried to stop myself in time

(Shoulda never did it)

I did it anyway, I probably should have never did it

When i knew better, but i didnt do no better

I just wasted my time

Don't get it twisted, I aint never been no regular time

I'm not so into you, that I'm gonna let my good years go by

Just cause you laid it down and knocked it down like dominoes

That don't give you no permission

To fuck me over when you know that I been fuckin' ya good

Why pull me in, to push me out, just cause you know that you could

That's how I end up in a slip and fall in love again

Right back in love, same position

Somebody told me this was it (than I)

That you was on some different shit (wish somebody told me)

I woulda made a decision that was better than this

Instead of wasting my time

I tried to stop myself in time

(I did it anyway)

I did it anyway, I probably should have never did it

When i knew better, but I didnt do no better

I just wasted my time

Okay K

Everytime that I tell myself that I'm probably gonna let you go

(A-, A-, A-)

I get one foot out the door, then you come and pull me back for more

(You know I-)

Can't resist you

That's my issue

Forget the shit we been through

Cause you always put it down for me

Make it just simple like alchemy

They call me K-E-H-L-A-N-I

Nini with the ill nana

Tsumani take you under

This body hit like thunder

This ain't no one hit wonder

Here's another

Cause I'm rare like a Mona Lis

You should treat me like a masterpiece (aye aye aye)

I tried to stop myself in time

(I did it anyway)

I did it anyway, I probably should have never hit it

When i knew better, but i didnt do no better

I was wasting my time

Somebody told me this was it

That you was on some different shit (Ouu)

I woulda made a decision that was better than this

Instead of wasting my time
