T‐Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Huh, yeah

I've been the tree house for seven hours
Looking at your house girls
Ever since you kick me out girl
That ain't me, but who the fuck is he
(Yeah)
I've been watching y'all kissing and hugging
Licking your belly button
Touching and rubbing but this nigga look just like me
He got dreads and gold teeth
(Yeah)

Now I know we just broke up
Week and a half ago
How was I to remember the anniversary
Baby I sorry
(Yeah)

But you know

[Chorus]
I can't leave y'all alone tonight
Ain't nothing going on tonight
Cause I'm the phantom in your opera
I'm the phantom in your opera
Now I can't leave y'all alone tonight
All the lights gonna be on tonight
Oh I'm the phantom in your opera
He won't get none
You won't either
Till I get mine

Yeah, yeah

I'm a wait until y'all get real into
Just about to do it
The mood is set
And I'm a mess y'all up
I bet that sucks
To be him

I'm a call
And hang up
Call again
And hang up
Hello
Do you like scary movies
Then I'm a do it again
Am I scaring your friend
(yeah)

(yeah)
Let's play a game
(yeah)
I'll be teddy pain
(yeah)
You'll try to do your thing
(yeah)
And I'm a block that cock
And I'm a make y'all stop
(yeah)

And you no

[Chorus]


Yeah





[Chorus]
