With the guy I love and I'm like,
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough and I'm like,
Forget you!
And forget him too!
I'd still be with ya
Ha, now ain't that some shhh?
(ain't that some shhh?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a...
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
Yeah I'm sorry,
I can't afford a ferrari,
But that don't mean
I can't get you there.
I guess she's an xbox
and I'm more atari,
But the way you play
your game ain't fair.
I pity the fool that
falls in love with you
(Oh she's a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know)
Ooooooh
I've got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell
your little girlfriend
I see you driving 'round town
With the guy I love and I'm like,
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough and I'm like,
Forget you!
And forget him too!
Said, if I was richer,
I'd still be with ya
Now ain't that some shhh?
(ain't that some shhh?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a...
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
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 face ain't cheap.
I pity the fool that
falls in love with you
(Oh she's a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know)
Ooooooh
I've got some news for you
I really hate you right now
I see you driving 'round town
With the guy I love and I'm like,
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough and I'm like,
Forget you!
And forget him too!
Said, if I was richer,
I'd still be with ya
Ha, now ain't that some shhh?
(ain't that some shhh?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a...
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
Now baby, baby, baby,
why'd you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my
mamma but she told me
"this is one for your dad"
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh!
Whhhy baby? Oh! I love you!
I still do. Oooh!
I see you driving 'round town
With the guy I love and I'm like,
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough and I'm like,
Forget you!
And forget him too!
Said, if I was richer,
I'd still be with ya
Ha, now ain't that some shhh?
(ain't that some shhh?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a...
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
" Forget You" by Stephanie Dan is a upbeat pop anthem about a woman who sees her ex-lover with another woman who is only interested in his finances. The song is about the woman's realization that the person she thought she loved was only with her for her money. She is frustrated and angry that the man she cared for has moved on to someone else who has money. The chorus contains the lyrics "Forget you" which means she wants to forget the man and the situation entirely. The song highlights the importance of not dating someone who is only interested in material possessions.
In the second verse, the singer admits that although she cannot afford to buy luxurious items like Ferraris, she is still willing to go above and beyond to please her lover. She is disappointed that he does not appreciate or reciprocate her love. She realizes that the person she came to care for is not the one she thought he was.
Overall, "Forget You" is a catchy and relatable song for anyone who has been in a similar situation where they have to let go of someone who was not worth the effort.
