Damn (Should've Treated U Right)

[Intro]

Darkchild 9-9

They ain't ready for this one

Ja Rule, Ja Rule

Darkchild, Darkchild

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, damn

I couldn't think about the next man bangin' you

Hit and empower you the way that I used to

You make 'em holler

Yo' cat top-dollar, purrin' wet

Worth puttin' diamonds on your collar

We bounce, hit the switches like a 6-4, follow

Me and you against the world, baby girl, proper

But you broke it

Now she got yo' side of the bed

Yo' six with wide-screen TVs, in the head

You like the livin' dead, 'cause you won't be back

The cat you thought was on, throwin' you off-track

Can't do that, love's like a tug-of-war match

You can't win, you fall in, get too attached

You wanna be where I'm at

Feelin' me, with a climax, nails diggin' my back, headboard outta wack

That love about Ja is what caught your eye

Painful lies and sweet goodbyes, baby, why?

[Chorus: So Plush]

Damn

I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life

I should've treated you right

I should've been by your side

But damn

I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

Now I can't even lie

It's killin' me inside

[Verse 2: Rhonda]

I fell in love with you

See, like they do in movies

You were the generous type

You brought me things I didn't need

Promised to take care of me

But then, I pushed you to leave, yeah-yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1: *Donielle* & Rhonda]

*Money don't make the man, I understand

Since I let you go*

But I could've had

Damn near everything, yeah-yeah

*You see, I should've changed my plans

Let you be my man just for your dough*

And never ever have to explain

[Chorus: So Plush]

Damn

I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Outta my life)

I should've treated you right (Should've been)

I should've been by your side (Ooh)

But damn

I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (How could I?)

Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)

It's killin' me inside

[Verse 3: Rhonda]

It's wrong for me to think this

But I could have handled it

Me playin' you for a fool

Frontin', so romantic

Just to get my wishes granted

I should've did what I had to do, oh

[Pre-Chorus 2: *Raquel* & Rhonda]

*Now when I think it through

I could've been to you a real good girl*

Pretending that this is your world, yeah yeah yeah

*To satisfy all my needs

I could've pleased you a little bit more*

Should've been, could've been, would've been

But these thoughts I just ignored, oh

[Chorus: So Plush]

Damn (Ooh)

I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Walk out my life)

I should've treated you right (I should've been)

I should've been by your side (Oh, ooh)

But damn

I slept and let you catch somebody's eye

Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)

It's killin' me inside (Oh, but damn)

Damn (Oh)

I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (I shouldn't have let you leave)

I should've treated you right (I should've been)

I should've been by your side (I could've been, would've been, yeah)

But damn (Oh, no)

I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (How could you do this to me?)

Now I can't even lie (I can't)

It's killin' me inside (Oh)

[Bridge: Donielle]

You don't even wanna talk to me

You don't wanna be with me anymore (Be with me anymore)

You don't even wanna call at all

But you come around, tryin' to hit me off (Ooh-ooh)

You don't wanna go out with me

I can't stand to see you outta line (Yeah, yeah)

But it's really killin' me, you're not feelin' me

I wish you were mine (You were mine), but

[Chorus: So Plush]

Damn

I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Out my life)

I should've treated you right (Oh yeah)

I should've been by your side (Oh, but)

But damn

I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (Ooh yeah-yeah, yeah yeah yeah)

Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)

It's killin' me inside (Ooh yeah)

Damn (Oh)

I shouldn't have let you walk right out of my life (Walk out of my)

I should've treated you right (Should've been)

I should've been by your side (Oh, oh)

But damn

I slept and let you catch somebody's eye (Yes, I did sleep, yes, I did)

Now I can't even lie (It's killin' me)

It's killin' me inside

Damn
