Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot (Fergie Ferg)
Now you're tryin' to play me like a fool (Kumi)
That ain't cool
That ain't cool, so

(Let's go)

[Chorus]
Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you're tryin' to play me like a fool
That ain't cool
That ain't cool, so

Did you really think that I wouldn't find you out?
I guess somebody decided to sell you out
They told me about her and what you plan to do
You tried to have your cake and eat it, too
Well, my dear, it isn't gonna work that way
It really doesn't sit well with me to be played
Karma's comin' round with something to tell
When you hurt me you really hurt yourself

[Chorus: x2]

[Repeat: x4]
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it?

Did you really think that I was really that easy?
Don't make me laugh
Anata ni wo tired
I'm gonna throw you out
That's what I gotta do
A girl can have her cake and eat it too

I was just pretending to play the game
Anata tachi to not the same
Don't come back to me like a child
I'm not your mommy
So say sayonara!

[Chorus: x2]

[Repeat: x4]
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it?

[Chorus: x2]

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
Someone saw you in the parking area

With a girl heading to the spot
You were with a girl going to the same place

Now you're tryin' to play me like a fool
You're attempting to deceive me

That ain't cool
It's not respectful

Did you really think that I wouldn't find you out?
Did you really assume that I wouldn't find out about it?

I guess somebody decided to sell you out
I presume someone determined to inform on you

They told me about her and what you plan to do
They informed me about her and what you were intending to do

You tried to have your cake and eat it, too
You attempted to have the benefits of the situation without the drawbacks

Well, my dear, it isn't gonna work that way
That strategy isn't going to succeed, my beloved

It really doesn't sit well with me to be played
I don't appreciate being manipulated

Karma's comin' round with something to tell
Karma is on its way with something to say

When you hurt me you really hurt yourself
When you hurt me, you hurt yourself also

Don't make me laugh
That's amusing

Anata ni wo tired
I am exhausted by you

I'm gonna throw you out
I'm going to kick you out of my life

That's what I gotta do
That's what I need to do

A girl can have her cake and eat it too
A girl can enjoy the benefits of a situation without facing the drawbacks

I was just pretending to play the game
I was just feigning involvement in your strategy

Anata tachi to not the same
We are not alike, you and I

Don't come back to me like a child
Don't return to me like a child

I'm not your mommy
I'm not your mother

So say sayonara!
So say goodbye!

What you gonna do?
What are you going to do?

What you gonna do about it?
What are you going to do to fix it?

[Chorus: x2]
Refrain repeated twice
