My boyfriend's back,
But I think I wanna dump him.

I think I wanna dump him
My boyfriend's back,
But I think I wanna dump him
(Sssh), don't tell him nothing
I think I wanna dump him

Hey ladies!
Yeah!
All my ladies!
Yeah!
Are you sick and tired of him Acting shady?
Yeah!
Let him go, let him leave
Tell him get up off his knees
No more begging, Baby please...
It's a rap on this scene!

I think it's bout that time you let him know
Let him know
That you feelin' like his love went out the door
Out the door
If you tried but it ain't workt,
And he keep's on doin' dirt
Keep your cool don't go berserk
Just let him go
Let him go

My boyfriend's back,
But I think I wanna dump him
(Sssh), don't tell him nothing
I think I wanna dump him
My boyfriend's back,
But I think I wanna dump him
(Sssh), don't tell him nothing
I think I wanna dump him

Hey ladies!
Yeah!
All my ladies!
Yeah!
We're independent, we can get our own Mercedes!
Yeah!
Don't need his lips or his rocks,
He can keep thet stuff I bought
If it's cash, I got lots
It ain't nothin' I can't cop

I think it's bout that time you let him know
Let him know
That you feelin' like his love went out the door
Out the door
If you tried but it ain't workt,
And keep on doin' dirt
Keep your cool don't go berserk
Just let him go
Let him go

My boyfriend's back,
But I think I wanna dump him
(Sssh), don't tell him nothing
I think I wanna dump him
My boyfriend's back,
But I think I wanna dump him
D (sssh), don't tell him nothing
I think I wanna dump him

O-V-E-R
You just lost a superstar
