Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Ayy, okay, ooh, okay, uh
Nice guys always finish last, should've known that
Gave you my heart and you fucked around and broke that
So sad
Pretty girls'll hurt you so bad (so bad)

Girl you played me, did me so shady
Got me in my feelings, I can't trust lately

You so lame, took me as a game
Say guys are dogs, well, all girls the same
Karma where you at? You better have my back
'Cause you know damn well I didn't deserve that
Oh, I finna lose it, got me lookin' stupid
From now on I'ma be ruthless

Oh, oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh

Got me thinkin' to myself I wasn't enough (enough)
I remember late nights all alone (whoa)
Waitin' by my phone just to see your name with a ringtone (whoa)
But you, never called (whoa)
You ain't ever cared (cared)
Told me that you love me you were never there (never there)
What did I do to deserve this treatment? (Whoa)

Oh, I finna lose it, got me lookin' stupid
From now on I'ma be ruthless
