The main theme of the song is about moving on from a failed relationship, but Green's hilarious and tongue-in-cheek lyrics make it a catchy and fun tune to sing along to.

He acknowledges that he wasn't rich enough for her, but can't help feeling resentful about the situation. The line "I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough" shows that he's aware that money was a factor in the breakup.

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

I realize that my financial situation wasn't what you were looking for, so I say forget you and forget her too.

Ha, now ain't that some shit? (ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest

Even though I wish I could be with you, I can't change my financial situation, and though it hurts, I still want what's best for you.
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 may not be able to buy you expensive things like a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean I can't treat you well. You're more interested in someone with flashy things, even though I care for you more and treat you better.
I pity the fool that falls in love with you
(Oh shit she's a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know nigga)
Ooooooh
I feel sorry for anyone who falls in love with you because you're only interested in people with money. Just thought I should let you and anyone else know.
Now I know, that I had to borrow,
Beg and steal and lie and cheat.
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya.
'Cause being in love with your a** ain't cheap.
I realize that being with you requires me to do whatever it takes to keep you happy, even if it means begging or cheating. Being in love with you is expensive and requires a lot of work.
Now baby, baby, baby
Why d'you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my momma but she told me
"This is one for your dad"
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
Yes she did
And I was like
Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh!
Whhhy lady? Oh! I love you oh!
I still love you. Oooh!
I don't understand why you would want to hurt me so much. I even tried to talk to my mom about it, but she didn't have any answers. I still love you though, even though you hurt me.
