[Chorus: John Legend]
Hey girl, I love you so
And it's so sad that we can't even talk, no, we can't even talk, no
Hey girl, I'm so sad today
And my life just drifted away, drifted away
Can this be real girl?
Can this be solved?
Girl, have we drifted so far?
That we can't even talk no more?

[Verse 1: Estelle]
Nah, listen, we can't talk no more, blood
'Cause you never ever really understood, blood
My heart was open but you stepped right on it
You never saw that I was up for being number one, but listen
How long I know you? We kept in touch through college
Never the type to give you brain, I'm givin' you knowledge
We be like old school, I seen you fucking with some other birds
Yep, I let you roll right through
I move my soul to another home dude
But you was calling me, telling me your problems
And I was going through my own kind of problems
See, but I lended it here, you took a piss like you ain't care
Walk around like, "Yeah, I had that there"
And now you're shocked when you see me
Wishing we was cool to talk, wanting you to see me
Whipping out your numbers to call me, come and see
But you ain't real enough to see me
I'm making it clear, B, listen
[Chorus: John Legend]
Hey girl, I love you so
And it's so sad
That we can't even talk no, we can't even talk no
Hey girl, I'm so sad today
And my life (Yeah-yeah)
Just drifted away, drifted away
Can this be real, girl?
Can this be solved? (Oh, yeah-yeah)
Girl, have we drifted so far? (Have we drifted so far?)
That we can't even talk no more? (Oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2: Estelle]
And nah, and all the time I was wondering what was wrong with me
Because you left me a mess like I was bored silly
I would've done anything to see you smile at me
But all you did was treat me like a stepchild, really
I could've done a lot of shady things in the slide
Like cut your car tires, put a hit out on your life
But, uh, somethin' said don't do it, somethin' said give him a chance
Said love will go through it, so now I say in advance
Please don't talk to me, please don't call my phone
You have no idea how I'm feeling, so
Let's keep it bygones, we ain't good for each other
We're not friends and I regret that we was even lovers
Uh-uh (Nah), so don't be shocked when you see me (Uh)
Thinking that we're cool to talk, now I'm on the TV
Calling up my mom and asking her if she seen me
But you ain't real enough to see me
I'm making it clear, B, listen
[Chorus: John Legend]
Hey girl, I love you so (Ohh-oh)
And It's so sad
That we can't even talk no, we can't even talk no
Hey girl, I'm so sad today
'Cause my life just drifted away, drifted away
Can this be real girl?
Can this be solved?
Girl, have we drifted so far?
That we can't even talk no more?

[Outro: John Legend]
Hey girl, I miss you so
Won't you come back, come back?
I don't wanna let go, I don't wanna let go
Hey girl, come on back today
'Cause my life's just driftin' away, driftin' away
I just miss you baby, come back baby
Ooh, come on home
