Break Up Lyrics

[Intro: Woman]
Bangladesh
I love you, but I don't think I can love you anymore

[Bridge: Sean Garrett, Mario & Gucci Mane]
When I kiss you so good (Mario!)
Why would you wanna break up? (Gucci, Gucci!)
When this loving is so good
Why would you wanna break up? (Sean Garrett the Pen)
If I hit that so good
Why would you wanna break up? (Gucci!)
If this feeling is so good
Why would you wanna break up? (We goin' in, oh!)

[Chorus: Mario & Sean Garrett]
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood
Why would you wanna break up?

[Verse 1: Gucci Mane]
Now baby girl done dumped me, she no longer wants me
I'm no longer hired, she said that I been fired
On to the next one, more fish in the sea
Girls are like buses—miss one, next fifteen, one comin' (Huh)
Gucci Mane crazy and his ice game stuntin' (Burr!)
Swag so stupid but the bitch straight dumped me
Over, no more smoking doja
Baby girl went AWOL, she used to be my soldier
[Verse 2: Mario]
(Don't) Don't I lace you with the Gucci?
(Don't) Don't I deck you in the Louie?
(Don't) Don't I make your earlobe freeze?
(Don't) Don't when I dive, I dive deep?
I know I be (Gone) I know I be (Gone)
I know I be (Flirting with them girls)
I know I be (Said I be right back but take too long)
I know I be (Saying I be faithful but I don't)
I know I be making you them promises, then breaking your heart again
Telling you she wasn't who she was then we arguing
But baby, I love you (Oh!)

[Chorus: Mario & Sean Garrett]
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood
Why would you wanna break up?
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood
Why would you wanna break up?
[Verse 3: Sean Garrett]
You might be from the hood but to me (You're a model)
Everything that I had ever seen (In a model)

If you leavin' baby, don't leave me ('Til tomorrow)
Tonight we gon' get a little tipsy (With a bottle)
You gon' get me up, I'm gon' take 'em down
I'ma change my ways, we gon' work it out
Girl, I wouldn't be the same if you was with somebody else
Girl, it wouldn't be the same if I was with somebody else
I know I made mistakes before
Promise you won't get hurt no more
I got what you like and you know
Once you lay down, it's on

[Chorus: Mario, Sean Garrett & Gucci Mane]
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood
Why would you wanna break up?
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood (Gucci!)
Why would you wanna break up? (Gucci!)
[Verse 4: Gucci Mane & Mario]
Why you wanna leave me? You should wanna tease me
Being icy ain't easy (Burr) I make it look easy (Burr)
Used to cop you Bally (Gucci) let you rock Louie (Gucci)
Now it's fuck shawty (Shawty) I don't like Gucci (Gucci, Gucci, oh!)

[Chorus: Mario & Sean Garrett]
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood
Why would you wanna break up?
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
When I'm, when I'm lovin' you, lovin' you
Why would you wanna break up?
Do anything for you
Why would you wanna break up?
See I be driving through your hood
Why would you wanna break up?

[Outro: Mario]
Why would you, break up, break up, break up? Yeah
I'm back, baby...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A top 20 hit in 2009, “Break Up” was r&b singer Mario’s first hit in five years. It was also the first hit single to feature young up-and-coming rapper Gucci Mane, who would not come close to this level of pop success until his appearance on Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” in 2016. In it, the two (along with newcomer Sean Garrett) deal with a breakup with either resignation or macho come-ons for the woman to stay.
