Regret
LeToya feat. Missy Elliot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh uh, he don't deserve you (serve you)
He gone regret the day he hurt you (hurt you
Letoya!
I made you cool
Until I started fucking with you
Gave you swag (Swag)
And a duffel bag
You left the best you had
Now you gonna act like that
I got you right
I changed your life
Suicide doors, I cosigned
Gucci rags (Rags)
Louis travel bags
You left the best you had
Baby don't look so mad
You must regret the day that you left me
You must regret the day that you left me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me oh
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me oh
VIP was all on me
Now your at the bar with 1 or 2 drinks
Popping game (Game)
You look so lame
Without me your pimping ain't the same
First class flights
Dipped in ice
I had your neck and wrist oh so bright
Popping tags (Tags)
Is a thing of the past
You lost everything you had
Chasing them scallywags
You must regret the day that you left me
You must regret the day that you left me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me
Listen
Hey sexy, tell him that it's over
Tell him you my baby
And my coupe is your stroller
Tell him his Louis Vuitton scarf is your bib
Or that you call me daddy, and my house is your crib
And if he cries, I know how to control that
Give him some bottles of this conjure cognac just to shut him up
She said you wasn't half the man I am
So I guess he had to double up
He's still trying to get back like the soldiers
Dreaming and it's time to wake him up like Folgers (Wake up)
I just hold her, you use to put a loader
Shoot up on the brain, but you lame now it's over
I keep her by my side like a holster
I plan to make a full house
And I ain't talking 'bout poker
But I might poke her, and stroke her
Cause I'm about to treat her like a real man suppose to
Luda!
You must regret the day that you left me
You must regret the day that you left me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me oh
You must regret the day that you left me
You must regret the day that you left me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me
Still tryna get back, get back
Still tryna get back, back with me oh

She also helped him financially, with suicide doors that she cosigned and Gucci rags and Louis travel bags that she bought him.

He gone regret the day he hurt you (hurt you)
The person you left me for will also regret hurting you
I made you cool
I transformed you into someone popular and stylish
You wasn't that dude
You were not very popular or cool before I got involved with you
Until I started fucking with you
Until I became romantically involved with you
Gave you swag (Swag)
I gave you style and confidence
And a duffel bag
I even gave you a fashionable accessory
You left the best you had
You gave up the best thing in your life when you left me
Now you gonna act like that
And now you are going to behave badly towards me?
I got you right
I made you into the perfect partner
I changed your life

Now your at the bar with 1 or 2 drinks
Now you are just a regular person having a few drinks at the bar
Popping game (Game)
Trying to impress people with your words and actions
You look so lame
You look uncool and unimpressive
Without me your pimping ain't the same
Your attempts to impress people are not as effective without me
First class flights
We used to take luxurious first class flights together
Dipped in ice
We used to wear a lot of expensive jewelry
I had your neck and wrist oh so bright
I made sure your neck and wrist were covered in shining jewelry

Shopping for expensive clothes and accessories
Is a thing of the past
We used to enjoy shopping, but that has changed since we broke up
You lost everything you had
You lost all of the good things in your life when you left me
Chasing them scallywags
Chasing after unimportant and unsuitable people
Hey sexy, tell him that it's over
Hey attractive person, tell the person you left me for that your relationship is over
Tell him you my baby
Tell him that you are still mine
And my coupe is your stroller
And my car is like your baby stroller
Tell him his Louis Vuitton scarf is your bib
Tell him that the expensive accessory he got for you is now basically a piece of cloth you use while eating
Or that you call me daddy, and my house is your crib
Or that you refer to me as your daddy and my house is like your home/baby crib
And if he cries, I know how to control that
And if he gets upset, I know how to make him feel better
Give him some bottles of this conjure cognac just to shut him up
Give him some alcohol to make him stop complaining
She said you wasn't half the man I am
She said that you are not as good as I am
So I guess he had to double up
So I guess he tried to make up for that by being with two people at once
He's still trying to get back like the soldiers
He is still trying to get back with you, like soldiers trying to get back to their homes after a long war
Dreaming and it's time to wake him up like Folgers (Wake up)
He needs to stop dreaming and face reality
I just hold her, you use to put a loader
I am just holding her now, but you used to be more possessive
Shoot up on the brain, but you lame now it's over
You were once exciting, but now you are boring and it's over between us
I keep her by my side like a holster
I keep her close to me, like a gun in a holster
I plan to make a full house
I plan to have a large family with her
And I ain't talking 'bout poker
But I'm not talking about the card game, poker
But I might poke her, and stroke her
I might have sex with her and caress her
Cause I'm about to treat her like a real man suppose to
Because I am going to treat her how a loving partner is supposed to treat their significant other
You must regret the day that you left me
I am confident that you regret leaving me
Still tryna get back, get back
You are still trying to come back to me
Back with me oh
You want to be back with me
