Forget You
Glee Cast (Feat. Gwyneth Paltrow) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you driving round town with the guy I love
And I'm like forget you
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like forget you and forget him too

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Ha, now ain't that some sh..
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a forget you

Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess she's an Xbox and I'm more an Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair

I pity the fool that falls in love with you
Well, I've got some news for you
Yeah, go run and tell your little boyfriend

I see you driving around town with the guy I love
And I'm like forget you
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like forget you and forget him too

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Ha, now ain't that some sh...
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a forget you

Now I know, that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Trying to keep you, trying to please you
'Cause being in love with your face ain't cheap

Now, I pity the fool that falls in love with you
Well, I've got some news for you
I really hate you right now

I see you driving 'round town with the guy I love
And I'm like forget you
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like forget you and forget him too

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Ha, now ain't that some sh
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a forget you

Now baby, baby, baby
Why'd you wanna, wanna hurt me so bad?
I tried to tell my mamma but she told me,
"This is one for your dad."

Yeah, she did
Uh, why? Ugh, why?
Ugh, why baby? Oh, I love you
I still love you, ooh

I see you driving 'round town with the guy I love
And I'm like forget you
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like forget you and forget him too

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Ha, now ain't that some sh




And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a forget you
