You Lyrics

[Intro]
Yessir, haha, ayy
Woah-oh-oh
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, yeah

[Verse 1]
Now every girl I've been with, been with after you
Baby, it just ain't the same, no-no, no-no, no-no
Recently I had a girl and her name was Nikki
But she left me 'cause I called her your name, no-no, no-no
Girl, I been on that rebound tip
I can't believe that you got me feeling like this
And every other morning it's your face that I miss, man, your boy's sick
'Cause shawty was a ten but I was on that bull when I was with you

[Chorus]
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
Girl, when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
Girl, with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
Girl, when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
[Verse 2]
And every other phone call it's one of, one of my dawgs
"Man, I just seen Keisha and Nikki and them up in the mall"
So what did she have on? "Gucci jeans, BeBe tee"
Air Force Ones, hair all done, damn
Man, please don't tell me no more, man, my heart is so sore
I wanna reclaim her, but you'll never get over what I put you through
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do, man, my momma loved you
It's my fault I wasn't true but I was on that that shh when I was with you

[Chorus]
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
I was on that shh when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
Your boy was different 'cause I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
Baby girl, when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
When I was with you

[Bridge]
Girl, I know it's way too late to even say, "I'm sorry, babe"
I wanna pick up, up the phone
But inside my heart, I know I'm wrong
And I still wanna be your man
But I thought it through time and time again
This road that I'm traveling on will leave me lost and alone
[Chorus]
When I, when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you (Oh)
(You, you, you, you)
Girl, when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)
When, when, when, when I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you (When I was with, oh)
(You, you, you, you)
When I was with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you)

[Outro]
Yeah, hey
Oh, ayy
You, you, you, you, you, you, oh
You, you, you, you, you, you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
