They say you don't know what you have until you don't
I guess we have to learn a lesson on our own
You went and got another man, I stayed alone
'Cause I knew the day was coming, now
You're calling on my phone again

See I can tell that, babe, you never let me go
'Cause you're minding me, marking me, everywhere I go
And we done been broke up since twenty-o-four
Believe me baby, he already knows

Girl, you gotta go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man that you still love me

Girl, you gotta go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man that you still care

Baby girl, you know you gotta go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man you still want me

Babe you gotta tell
Go on and tell him, go on and tell him
Go on and tell him
Instead of wishing that was me there
(You know that I) Was the first to wear the crown and I hated it
(That I) The first to take you out of town on some vacation trip
(That I) Was the first to claim your heart in a relationship
He can never have you like me

(Girl you know that I) The only one who really knows how to make you flip
(That I) The first to make you smile, make you bite your lip
(Oh babe) Ain't no way that he don't know that you're not really his
Do that man a favor, girl, please

Go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man that you still love me
Come on baby

Go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man that you still care

Baby girl, you know you gotta go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man you still want me

Go on and tell him, go on and tell him
Go on and tell him
Instead of wishing that was me there
You can try to act, but ain't no way it hasn't shown (oh no)
After what we had, girl, ain't no turning back at all (oh no)

So get your new respect and meet me at the back, come on (come on)
And yeah he's gonna be mad but you belong back at home, come on

Girl, you gotta go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man that you still love me

Go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man that you still care
Gotta go, gotta go

Go on and tell him
Go on and tell him, baby
Go on and tell your man you still want me

Baby girl you know you gotta
Go on and tell him, go on and tell him
Go on and tell him
Instead of wishing that was me there
