Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh ooh

I haven't seen you in the city in quite some time
Black tinted limousine just for you and I
Ever since you had that break from him last July
Things have never been the same between you and I
And I'm fine, just with every little thing that you want and want to go and do tonight, and I'm fine,
Baby pull me close, I can turn it over

Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
It's been a long time

Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
It's been a long time

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh Ooh, Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh

Tell me what you feeling now
I got a lot that can bring you down
The thought of him never felt foul
I gotta lot that I gotta take, gotta love the pain yeah

Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
It's been a long time

Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely




Girls, gon, get so lone, get so lonely
It's been a long time
