A.G.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy you did me wrong and
Darling that's a fact
No need to apologize I don't want you back
You don't need to talk back
Just clean up your act
It's too little too late now 'cause
I don't want you back
Boy you did me wrong and
Darling that's a fact
No need to apologize I don't want you back
You don't need to talk back
Just clean up your act
It's too little too late now 'cause
I don't want you back

Look I know I did you wrong
But how you get the right
To pick the same fight over
And over every night
And yeah I know you're right
I fucked up but despite
The fact that I've apologized
It seems you take delight
In indulging in your pain
This is insane, ma you're killing me
I accept that I did it
I accept responsibility
So look if you sick of me, get rid of me
I'm not gonna beg you back and tell
My tail to kiss your toes
Because a bitch ain't what I'm finna be
Go tell your friends that I'm a dog
And while you're at it go tell them
About that guy that you was
Cheating with on Chadick
And how you couldn't help it
You said you were so attracted
You shadier than me
I swear you got nerves causing static
But I'm still fuckin' witchu
And you can't let me go
So it must be something special
Either that or we're special in the head
'Cause this is crazy
I swear we should be finished
But somehow I still love you, but I hate you
Fuck I quit it

Boy you did me wrong and
Darling that's a fact
No need to apologize I don't want you back
You don't need to talk back
Just clean up your act
It's too little too late now 'cause
I don't want you back
Boy you did me wrong and
Darling that's a fact
No need to apologize I don't want you back
You don't need to talk back
Just clean up your act
It's too little too late now 'cause
I don't want you back

Look, if you don't want me back
Then what you doing still in front of me
Could it be you hung on me
Somehow you still sprung on me
Don't front on me
Trying tell me you would never
Ever wanna fuck with me, again
Now that's a lie
So why deny you still in love with me?
This just so dumb to me
You can't pick what it's gonna be
Can't decide if you would rather fuck
Or pull a gun on me now what you wanna do
I'm standing right in front of you
I'm fine calling it quit's
'cause best believe i ain't as dumb as you
You want me to run to you
And try and beg forgiveness
What the fuck, kid you crazy?
You got some kind of sickness
This relationship is fucked
We ran out of our luck
At a point you got to know when
To get out of dodge and duck
Oh, and it's a wrap
It's time to call this thing a wrap
Before I have a nervous breakdown
'cause I'm about to snap
It's a wrap just like saran
Understand and that's a fact
So fuck you and fuck this argument
'cause I don't want you back

Boy you did me wrong and
Darling that's a fact
No need to apologize I don't want you back
You don't need to talk back
Just clean up your act
It's too little too late now 'cause
I don't want you back
Boy you did me wrong and
Darling that's a fact
No need to apologize I don't want you back
You don't need to talk back
Just clean up your act




It's too little too late now 'cause
I don't want you back

I don't want you back
I have no desire to reunite with you


Look I know I did you wrong
I acknowledge that I mistreated you


But how you get the right
But you have no justification


To pick the same fight over
To repeatedly engage in the same arguments


And over every night
Night after night without respite


And yeah I know you're right
I admit that you're correct


I fucked up but despite
I made a mistake, but even so


The fact that I've apologized
Even though I've expressed remorse


It seems you take delight
It appears you find pleasure


In indulging in your pain
In relishing your own suffering


This is insane, ma you're killing me
This is madness, it's emotionally draining me


I accept that I did it
I acknowledge my fault


I accept responsibility
I take full accountability


So look if you sick of me, get rid of me
If you're tired of me, then end our relationship


I'm not gonna beg you back and tell
I won't plead for your return and lower myself


My tail to kiss your toes
To grovel or submit to your whims


Because a bitch ain't what I'm finna be
I refuse to be someone degraded or subservient


Go tell your friends that I'm a dog
Spread false rumors about me being unfaithful


And while you're at it go tell them
And while you're at it, inform them


About that guy that you was
About the person you were


Cheating with on Chadick
Engaging in infidelity with on Chadick


And how you couldn't help it
And how you claim you couldn't resist


You said you were so attracted
You claimed to be strongly drawn to them


You shadier than me
You are more deceitful than I am


I swear you got nerves causing static
Your audacity causes conflict and tension


But I'm still fuckin' witchu
But I'm still intimate with you


And you can't let me go
And you refuse to end our relationship


So it must be something special
So there must be something extraordinary


Either that or we're special in the head
Either that or we're mentally unbalanced


'Cause this is crazy
Because this situation is insane


I swear we should be finished
We should have ended our relationship


But somehow I still love you, but I hate you
But somehow I still have feelings for you, even though I despise you


Fuck I quit it
Damn, I'm done with it


Look, if you don't want me back
Listen, if you don't desire to reconcile


Then what you doing still in front of me
Then why are you still in my presence


Could it be you hung on me
Is it possible that you're still attached to me


Somehow you still sprung on me
Somehow you're still infatuated with me


Don't front on me
Don't pretend or deceive me


Trying tell me you would never
Attempting to convince me that you would never


Ever wanna fuck with me, again
Wish to engage in a relationship or intimacy with me again


Now that's a lie
Now that's a falsehood


So why deny you still in love with me?
So why do you deny that you still love me?


This just so dumb to me
This is simply foolish to me


You can't pick what it's gonna be
You can't determine what the future holds


Can't decide if you would rather fuck
Can't make up your mind if you prefer


Or pull a gun on me now what you wanna do
Or resort to violence against me, so what's your intention now


I'm standing right in front of you
I'm here right in front of you


I'm fine calling it quit's
I'm content with ending things


'cause best believe i ain't as dumb as you
Because you better believe I'm not as foolish as you


You want me to run to you
You want me to chase after you


And try and beg forgiveness
And attempt to plead for forgiveness


What the fuck, kid you crazy?
What the hell, are you insane?


You got some kind of sickness
You have some sort of mental illness


This relationship is fucked
This relationship is doomed


We ran out of our luck
We've exhausted our good fortune


At a point you got to know when
There comes a time when you should realize


To get out of dodge and duck
To leave and avoid further harm


Oh, and it's a wrap
Oh, and it's all over


It's time to call this thing a wrap
It's time to end this relationship


Before I have a nervous breakdown
Before I experience a mental collapse


'cause I'm about to snap
Because I'm on the verge of losing control


It's a wrap just like saran
It's over, just like wrapping with cling film


Understand and that's a fact
Comprehend, and that's an undeniable truth


So fuck you and fuck this argument
So screw you and screw this disagreement


'cause I don't want you back
Because I have no desire to be with you again
