Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now boy you don't
You're saying that you'll change
But I know that you won't
Treated me in a ways
That I know I don't deserve
What's taking no mind now
That I know my worth
Don't want another fuck boy
You fuck another farse
I need myself a man
Who can handle all this curse
This curse, this curse
This curse, these eyes
Can't handle all my sass
If you wanna get with me
Then you best clean up your act
I don't, I don't, I don't
Have not time to waste
Boys who can't get money
Or keep their goddamn eyes stayed
Told you
That I can't handle myself
Told you
That I need help, many times
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you don't
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you don't
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you don't
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you won't
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you don't
You used to have a queen
But you damn didn't know
I'm glad I left your ass
Cause I'm so much better off
I even haven't been crying baby boy
This was your loss
Don't want another fuck boy
You fuck another farse
I need myself a man
Who can handle all this curse
This curse, this curse
This curse, these eyes
Can't handle all my sass
If you wanna get with me
Then you best clean up your act
I don't, I don't, I don't
Have not time to waste
Boys who can't get money
Or keep their goddamn eyes stayed
Told you
That I can't handle myself
Told you
That I need help, many times
But now you say you feel me
And finally you hear me
Like I ain't speakin' clearly
When I said what I needed
I'm so much better off
Baby boy this was your loss
Oh no
And now you say you're sorry
And how much that you want me
And do anything for me
Boy stop that shit is boring
Know what I deserve
We know I know my worth
Don't want another fuck boy
You fuck another farse
I need myself a man
Who can handle all this curse
This curse, this curse
This curse, these eyes
Can't handle all my sass
If you wanna get with me
Then you best clean up your act
I don't, I don't, I don't
Have not time to waste
Boys who can't get money
Or keep their goddamn eyes stayed
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you don't
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you don't
There was a time you'd see me
But now boy you won't

The lyrics express her frustration and disappointments in the past relationship, as she hopes to move on and find someone who will treat her better. Cheney emphasizes her need for a man who can handle all of her "curse," including her sass and strong personality.
