After You
Tanya Stephens Lyrics

Baby, when you left me,
As soon as you left me, my life started deteriorating.

My life was instantly transformed to hell
My life became miserable after you left.

Oh God I never thought this poor heart could get well
I thought my heart would never heal from the pain you caused me.

After you, what am I gonna do, What am I gonna do,
I don't know what to do after you left.

Baby after you, Whoa Oh!
I'm lost without you, baby.

Well me a put on a sad face,
I pretend to be sad in front of others.

So di judge ge me di yard
The judge awarded me the house.

Run up X amount a bills pon yuh Platinum Card
I charged a lot of expenses on your credit card.

Throw a tantrum,
I behave dramatically to attract attention.

Wid me nose a run inna court
I cried in front of the court.

Me friend dem love you,
My friends liked you.

Cos you keep we drinkin Hq
Because you bought us good quality drinks.

But give thanks fi de H2
But I'm thankful for the Hummer you gave me.

Me know a you leff me an fi a while me did a bawl
I know you left me, and I cried for a while.

But me tell dem me leff you
But I'm telling others that I left you.

Cas yuh buddy too small, now
Because your manhood isn't big enough for me.

After you,here's what am gonna do,
Here's what I'll do now that you're gone.

Ride around on your twenty twos, And still live affa you
I'll use your car and still reap the benefits of our relationship.

(Whoa Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)

After you, a now me ready fi enjoy me life
I'm ready to enjoy life without you.

Nuh haffu work,n everyting still nice
I won't have to work because you left me everything I need.

Yuh neva knew what a wife an a lover meant
You never really understood what it meant to be a husband and a lover.

So me want half a everyting like de government
I want half of everything we owned together.

Now you can tell yuh friends yuh really have a bitchy wife
You can tell your friends that you have a difficult wife.

When me stick you up an clean you out like Lionel Ritchie Wife
I'll take everything you have and leave you with nothing, just like Lionel Richie's ex-wife.

Me a tek de house, de car, de children, yuh screwdrivers, even yuh power drill dem
I'll take the house, the car, the children, your tools, and everything else I can.

All weh me nuh need me still a go tek
I'll take everything I don't need because I can.

Cos me did need you but dat neva stop yuh from live, now
Even though I needed you, you still lived your life the way you wanted to.

Congratulations me hear yuh new girl's banged up
I heard your new girlfriend is pregnant.

By di time di baby born me a mek sure yuh bankrupt
By the time the baby is born, I'll make sure you're broke.

If me know divorce woulda be so sweet
If I knew that divorce would be this good to me.

I woulda beg di good Lord long time fi mek yuh cheat
I would've prayed for you to cheat on me.

Most people haffi sell drugs dem whole life fi this
Most people have to sell drugs their whole life to get this much money.

All me do a say i do an tun yuh wife fi this
All I did was marry you, and now I get all this money and property.

And yuh have the nerve fi a laugh when me fling back di ring
You have the audacity to laugh when I return the wedding ring to you.

Well alright, when me done wid you
Well, when I'm done with you.

Yuh haffu go beg me a ting, cause
You'll have to beg me for things.

After you
After you left.

*Yuh see wah you a cause, you know seh me nuh stay so
You see what you caused, you know I don't stay like this.

But wah you expect me fi do,
But what did you expect me to do?

All a this a fi yuh fault,
This is all your fault.

Cah yuh nuh leff ,me no choice
Because you left me, I had no choice.

A woman my age wid four kids
A woman my age with four kids.

Which man a go pick me up?!
Which man will want to be with me?

I dont have a certificate I dnt even hav a marketable skill
I don't have any certificates or marketable skills.

And when me tell you say me wah work pon a career
And when I told you I wanted to work on a career.

Yuh say not a rahtid
You said absolutely not.

Yuh wife nah fi work
Your wife doesn't have to work.

And boops yuh breed me again
And then you impregnated me again.

Thirty-six months me spend a carry yuh pickney dem inna my gut
I spent thirty-six months pregnant with your children.

Dat a thirty-six month outta my life way me couldnt look dung n see me toe
That's thirty-six months of my life that I couldn't enjoy and look after myself.

Heh Heh, Yuh Lucky
You're lucky.
