[English]

Eh oh

You should've known better, better than to mess with someone like me

Eh oh

Forever and ever, you're gonna wish I was your wifey

Don't act so innocent, this was no accident

You planned this in the end, and now it's over

Say what you wanna say, you lied, and I got played

You threw it all away, and now it's over

Just face it, we didn't make it

You bit off more than you can chew, can you taste it?

Eh oh

You should've known better, better than to mess with someone like me

Eh oh

Forever and ever, you're gonna wish I was your wifey

Should've held on, should've treated me right

I gave you one chance, you don't get it twice

Eh oh

And we'll be together never, so baby, you can bite me

Don't hold your breath

'Cause you're still choking on your words

Those things you said, might be the last ones that I heard

So come pick up your clothes from the front yard

Sprinklers on, burn the rest in the backyard

Should've had the guts just to say, "Goodbye"

Now you're gonna have regrets for the rest of your life

Just face it, we didn't make it

You bit off more than you can chew, can you taste it?

Eh oh

You should've known better, better than mess with someone like me

Eh oh

Forever and ever, you're gonna wish I was your wifey

Should've held on, should've treated me right

I gave you one chance, you don't get it twice

Eh oh

And we'll be together never, so baby, you can bite me

I bet you taste me on the tip of your tongue

Tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue

I fell fast when I know I should've run

Know I should've run, know I should've run

I bet you taste me on the tip of your tongue

Tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue

I fell fast when I know I should've run

Know I should've run, know I should've run

Eh oh

You should've known better, better than mess with someone like me

(Like me)

Eh oh

Forever and ever, you're gonna wish I was your wifey

Should've held on, should've treated me right

I gave you one chance, you don't get it twice

Eh oh

And we'll be together never, so baby, you can bite me
