Cause I’ve been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he’s my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y
Yeah you had your fun, now it's done, crazy
I don't really know much about ya
But it's clear you know my name
So I guess all I can tell ya
Is that I don't have much to say
If you used to be the one
Well I don't know shit about it
I don't know shit about it
But I know you mad about it
He loves the way I put it down
Starstruck on what he found
You wishin' that it played out different
Yeah I know it sucks girl
I'm so
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Cause I’ve been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he’s my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y
Yeah you had your fun, now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
Now you showin' up at his house
Looking like a hot mess, honey
I think it's time for you to cut it out
Tryin' save you from looking funny
I guess until you find somebody
You’re a hashtag and pity party
Party, party, party, party
All I gotta say is, I'm so
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Cause I’ve been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he’s my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
You are now rolling with the all-time high, never satisfied
Forever getting paid off what money can't buy
Oh, always in the streets you'd a thought I scared of heights
Oh, my girl so fine that you scared to tell her "hi"
She a all-around ten like a high five
And we ain't fall in love, we skydive
I always get off when she's on, she's there
I'm gone, I call her "fine", she call me "Sean"
And I love 'em quarter G, quarter freak
Quarter Puerto Ric, quarter sweet
Hono-lu-lu-lu out on the beach
South of France me and my Mona Lis
Bon appétit, mon amie
Yeah I know it sucks girl
I'm so
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Cause I’ve been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he’s my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
Amber, Brittany, Tiffany
Sorry he belongs to me
Heather, Ashley, Stephanie
It just wasn't meant to be, sorry
Naya Rivera’s song “Sorry” was released in 2013, featuring American rapper Big Sean. The lyrics of the song talk about a woman bragging about stealing someone else’s man and not feeling sorry about it, indicating that the woman is happy with the man she took. The song starts with "Sorry, I'm not sorry" indicating that she is not sorry for the situation. She brags about bagging him up and how he’s her baby now, which could hint at her being the reason behind the break-up of someone else’s relationship. The chorus is catchy with “S-O-R-R-Y” spelling out Sorry, but she’s not really sorry. The second verse addresses the other woman in the situation, saying how she clearly knows Naya’s name but she doesn’t know much about her. The song has a sassy tone in the way she addresses the woman who had her chance with the man.
The rap verse by Big Sean talks about his girlfriend being so fine that others are scared to say hi, also making references to different cultures, Bon appétit, mon amie (in French, enjoy your meal, my friend) and Hono-lu-lu-lu which refers to Honolulu, Hawaii’s capital city. The song ends with a list of different female names indicating they lost their chance with him, Heather, Ashley, Stephanie, etc.

Sorry, I'm not sorry
I don't feel bad for taking your man
Cause I’ve been rolling round, shut it down, lady

I don't really know much about ya
I don't know anything about you
But it's clear you know my name
You know who I am, even if I don't know who you are
So I guess all I can tell ya
I don't have much to say to you
Is that I don't have much to say
I don't want to waste my breath on you
If you used to be the one
If you were with him before me
Well I don't know shit about it
I don't know anything about your past relationship
But I know you mad about it
But I know you're upset that he's with me now
He loves the way I put it down
He loves the way I am with him

Tryin' save you from looking funny
I'm trying to help you avoid looking foolish
I guess until you find somebody
Until you find someone new
You're a hashtag and pity party
You're just a sad hashtag and pity party
You are now rolling with the all-time high, never satisfied
I am now with the best and always want more
Forever getting paid off what money can't buy
I will always have more than just material things
Oh, always in the streets you'd a thought I scared of heights
People always see me in the streets, you'd think I'm afraid of heights
Oh, my girl so fine that you scared to tell her "hi"
My girl is so fine that you're scared to even say hello to her
She a all-around ten like a high five
She's a perfect ten in every way
And we ain't fall in love, we skydive
Our love is like falling from the sky, it happened fast and exciting
I always get off when she's on, she's there
I get excited when she's around
I'm gone, I call her "fine", she call me "Sean"
When I'm away, I call her beautiful and she calls me by my name
And I love 'em quarter G, quarter freak
I love a girl who is a little bit gangster and a little bit freak
Quarter Puerto Ric, quarter sweet
I also love a girl who has a little bit of Puerto Rican and sweetness in her
Hono-lu-lu-lu out on the beach
We're out on the beach in Honolulu
South of France me and my Mona Lis
We're in the south of France, just like the Mona Lisa painting
Bon appétit, mon amie
Enjoy your meal, my friend
Amber, Brittany, Tiffany
Girls who liked him before
Sorry he belongs to me
But now he's with me
Heather, Ashley, Stephanie
More girls who liked him before
It just wasn't meant to be, sorry
It just didn't work out between them and him, but that's okay

This is so unfair, she was so young, so much potential, so much talent, her unique smooth voice. She is a star. I still cant believe this, I wanted her to be even more recognize for her voice and incredible talent. Oh Naya...you are so missed. Now you continue being a star in another form.

A candle that shines brighter burns faster. Fast line, fast live. A shame. You need to be careful when you make it. There is always something else that can bring you down. Never be careless.
