[Intro: Joe Budden]
Yo, what's goin' on?
[Chorus: Crystal Gayle]
Whatever we had going
Ain't showing anymore
Where there used to be laughter
Now there's only pain
[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
I never thought it would end
Called you my soulmate (Uh-huh), thought you'd become my wife
Together forever, nobody could tell me otherwise
Now I look back (What?), remembering all the tears from your eyes
Those were the three longest years of my life, I had to put 'em in song
Should of known that we couldn't whether the storm
When you and moms ain't get along, how could you be the one?
Or maybe (What?) I was in need of your touch
Fresh off of a drug addiction, maybe I just needed a crutch
Inseparable us, no matter what looked out for the kid
I never thought you'd point me out to the pigs, my girlie special
Both of us was acting confused (Uh-huh)
Said we'd have a child together (Why?) so our families would have to approve
But prior to you miscarried (Thank God) I wasn't ready for a kid
I was only working stock at the wiz, it's backwards
I just wanted to help you
Couldn't take you comin' to me sayin', "Mouse, there's somethin' I gotta tell you
Sit down"
[Chorus: Crystal Gayle & Joe Budden]
Whatever we had going
I ain't want it like this
Ain't showing anymore
But I tried, I tried my hardest
Where there used to be laughter
But you slipped, you [?] some other shit
Now there's only pain
Listen
[Verse 2: Joe Budden]
All I wanted in my better half (What?), I thought that I found her
Even though we argued the pussy was the best that I encountered
I tried to put the BS past me
So we could live in this same house happy (But then what?), but then you stabbed me
Ambulance, ER, don't know what I'ma do (Uh-huh)
Tube in my dick (Tell 'em), scared, still all I wanted was you
Damn my thinking was sick back then
I left the hospital, you came home from jail, we'll be united again
Bed ridden, I just wanted to see you (I love ya)
Pleadin' but you tryna leave, "Don't go Angela, please, I need you"
I ain't think you'd throw it, [?] (Why?) but you gave me a motive
Look, I'm sorry, but I couldn't control it (I'm sorry)
I know I called you named I promised I'd never call you
(But) You said some shit, good thing my dawgs got me up off you (Uh-huh)
Left me with a lot of thoughts, every other day it's somethin' new
Like, "Joey, we gotta talk, this ain't working out"
[Chorus: Crystal Gayle & Joe Budden]
Whatever we had going
Nah, uh-uh, not again
Ain't showing anymore
I don't wanna hear that
Where there used to be laughter
I'll work it out, I'll fix things
Now there's only pain
[?] what happened?
[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
You threw my clothes out the window (Uh-huh), what I did? Throw your clothes out the window
How the fuck I end up in jail? (I don't understand)
Just like that, ma, you at the precinct with my son
He ain't have to see his dad walk in cuffs like that (Uh-huh)
Learnt my lesson, on one hand you gave me such a beautiful seed
But on the other hand he's used as a weapon
Why things have to change for the worse? (Uh-uh, uh-uh) Scratch that
They really changed after birth, I guess you got what you wanted
A bad breakup's like murder, when it comes down to it
I know I put you through hell, you gotta know it's vice versa
But we ain't gotta hate each other (Nah), I tried to make it work
I wanted a family, not just a baby mother
Look, the lust was gone, the trust is gone
Come to grips with the thought of us is gone, it's more than just a song
I'm good now, you not the only one fed up (Uh-huh)
But rather than us talk about it I'll just write you a letter
Dear Angie
[Chorus: Crystal Gayle]
Whatever we had going
Ain't showing anymore
Where there used to be laughter
Now there's only pain
