I see you driving 'round town
With the girl I love and I'm like,
Forget you!

Wasn't enough I'm like,

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Ha, now ain't that some shit? (ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
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 Xbox and I'm more Atari,
About the way you play your game ain't fair.
I pity the fool that falls in love with you

Cee-Lo's song "Forget You" is a witty and catchy break-up song that tackles the theme of unrequited love. The song describes the pain and frustration of watching an ex-girlfriend move on with another man who is wealthier, while the singer is left without the love he so craves. The chorus reflects this sentiment with the lyrics, "I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love and I'm like, forget you!" The singer also brings attention to the fact that the ex-girlfriend was a gold digger, and he is better off without her.
The verses contain clever metaphors and wordplay, such as "I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more Atari," referring to the difference in social status between the singer and his richer competitor. The line "I pity the fool that falls in love with you" is a nod to Mr. T's catchphrase from the TV show "The A-Team," implying that the singer was foolish to fall for a gold digger in the first place. The bridge shows a moment of vulnerability where the singer questions why his love was not enough for the ex-girlfriend and why she hurt him so badly.
Overall, "Forget You" is a fun and sarcastic take on a painful situation, highlighting the singer's wit and resilience in the face of heartbreak.
