Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the girl I love and I'm like
Fuck you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough, I'm like
Fuck you
And forget her too
I'd still be with ya
Ha, oh ain't that some ssh
(Ain't that some ssh)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a
Fuck you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess he's an X-box, and I'm more Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair
I pity the fool that falls in love with you oh
(Oh ssh she's a gold digger)
Well

Ooh, ooh, oh
I've got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend
See you driving 'round town
With the girl I love and I'm like
Fuck you

I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough, I'm like

Alana's song Forget You is about heartbreak and resentment. The first verse opens with the singer seeing her ex-boyfriend driving around town with another girl, which causes her to exclaim "Fuck you". She is bitter because she believes that if she was richer, the relationship would have worked out. The chorus reinforces her feelings with a repetition of "Fuck you" and "And forget her too". In the second verse, the singer admits to doing everything she could to keep her ex-boyfriend happy, regardless of the cost. The song ends with an expression of love and confusion, as the singer laments how much she still loves her ex-boyfriend, even though he has moved on.

See you driving 'round town

I guess the change in my pocket
I didn't have enough money to keep you around
Wasn't enough, I'm like
It wasn't enough to keep you happy or interested in me anymore
Fuck you
I'm still angry at you
And forget her too
I also want you to forget about the girl I love
Said, if I was richer
If I had more money
I'd still be with ya
I would still be with you
