Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, hmm
I seen so many fairytale loves go bad (yo)
Yeah (oh, oh, hey)

I seen so many fairytale loves go bad (bad)
I heard so many say they'll never love again (again)
I walked away and I never turned back (turned back)
It's not the first time, it won't be the last (last)
Two new Pateks, but I'll never get the time we spent
I must confess, I ain't never loved a girl like this (yeah)

It's worth a try (try)
You in denial (denial)
This was a vibe (vibe)
You in denial (denial)

Know you considered a nigga the way you smile (smile)
I got a bitch that wants me cooped up in the house (the house)
This for my loyalist women who still around (around)
Freakin' me out (out)
I'm shuttin' down (down)
Ice on ya body, just to see you clearly (clearly)
Will you marry me, marry me, oops, I mean Amiri me (Amiri me)
Tint the Lamb', ain't tryna be seen (seen)
Close all the windows, she say I make her wanna scream (scream)
I left my old bitch for a new chick (new chick)
I left my old crib, got some new whips (new whips)
I clipped Bottega on the French tips (French tips)
So call me anything except useless (useless)

I seen so many fairytale loves go bad (bad)
I heard so many say they'll never love again (again)
I walked away and I never turned back (turned back)
It's not the first time, it won't be the last (last)
Two new Pateks, but I'll never get the time we spent
I must confess, I ain't never loved a girl like this (yeah)

It's worth a try (try)
You in denial (denial)
This was a vibe (vibe)
You in denial (denial)

Put my pride aside and put some ice on my hand
Spent some time apart, but now we rocking again
I know the streets mad, see us in that G-Wag'
Put her in that Hermes or Fendi, if she want that
Sometimes I wanna leave my shorty, but I can't
Stand of think of her bein' with another man
Fallin' out of love is like tryna quit a drug cold-turkey
Call the doctor up, I need open heart surgery
I cut the games off and got focused
I left my old life and got some blue chips
I reevaluated all my friendships
So call me anything except clueless (Slim Jxmmi)

I seen so many fairytale loves go bad (bad)
I heard so many say they'll never love again (again)
I walked away and I never turned back (turned back)
It's not the first time, it won't be the last (last)
Two new Pateks, but I'll never get the time we spent
I must confess, I ain't never loved a girl like this (yeah)

It's worth a try (try)
You in denial (denial)
This was a vibe (vibe)
You in denial (denial)

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
