Shoulda Been There
Sevyn Streeter Lyrics

They say you never know what you got 'til it's gone
They say that you only recognize the value of what you had, after losing it.

You shoulda been there, now she's singing this song
If you had been there, you wouldn't be listening to this song right now.

Before this go wrong, we should take a break
We need to take a break before things get worse.

'Cause you feel like you know, you know everything
You think you know everything, but you don't.

Before I go and say some things I'm gonna regret to you
I don't want to say things that I will regret later.

I'mma call up my ladies, and tell them how you drove me crazy
I'm going to call my girlfriends and talk about how you've been driving me insane.

They say the club is going up tonight, we up in there
I heard that the club is hot tonight, and we're going there.

Pour another cup tonight, cause, we up in there
Let's have another drink because we're partying.

If you didn't want them all on me, you shoulda been there
If you didn't want guys flirting with me, you should have come with me.

So why the hell you calling me, you shoulda been there, been there
Why are you calling me now? You should have been here earlier.

So we gonna ball, ball out, gonna ball out, oh
We're going to have a great time and enjoy ourselves.

My whip clean, my fit new, oh
My car is clean, and my outfit is brand new.

Going up tonight, we up in there
We're definitely going to the party tonight.

So nigga don't be calling me, calling me
Don't call me anymore.

You shoulda been there
You should have been here with me.

I've been on my own (I've been on my own)
I've been alone without you.

I know how to play (I know how to play)
I know how to handle things on my own.

But in this Game of Thrones you 'bout to lose your queen
But in this situation, you're about to lose the most important person.

'Cause I've been holding up to try and work this out with you
I've been trying to make things work between us, but it's not working.

You can't respect that
You don't respect my point of view.

So I called up my ladies, and told them how you drove me crazy
So I called my girlfriends and vented about how you've been bothering me.

I put the "D" in Decatur
I'm an important part of Decatur.

Yeah, it's three in the morning but I still got three in the chamber
It's very late, but I'm still ready for anything.

I bring her to life with that D call that a defibrillator
I am able to make her feel alive like a defibrillator does to the heart.

Ha, niggas is funny, they all got jokes Cedric "D" Entertainer
People are funny, and they have a lot of jokes about Cedric D Entertainer.

But we can't see the haters, there's way too much cheese on the table
We are too busy enjoying our success to pay attention to the haters.

Aye, so, so, so what's the likelihood, you looking mmmm lip biting good
So what are the chances? You look really attractive.

Sevyn Streeter, Bobby Ray
Sevyn Streeter and Bobby Ray are the artists performing the song.

You wasn't there, I took your place
You were not here, so I had to take your place.
