Ref Lyrics

Maybe I got just a little too much pride
To let you back into my life
You think I miss you, not yet, not yet
Baby, you thought about what you put me through
A sorry is long overdue
You want it again, I bet, I, I, I bet

So cry, cry baby, I already let you go
Bye bye, baby, I don't mess with you no mo'
Nah, nah, baby, just because I'm moving on
Don't you 'member back in the day
When all you had to do was stay

But you walked away
You made your bed, you know the rest
Now you want me to stay
Said you're right, but you went and left
You think this is a game
You ain't gon' win 'cause I'm the ref

D E R, all because of your ego
You thought that you was irreplaceable
Yeah, there's a couple things that you can't erase
You'll learn your place from your mistakes

So cry, cry baby, I already let you go
Bye bye, baby, I don't mess with you no mo'
Nah, nah, baby, just because I'm moving on
Don't you 'member back in the day
When all you had to do was stay

But you walked away
You made your bed, you know the rest
Now you want me to stay
Said you're right, but you went and left
You think this is a game
You ain't gon' win 'cause I'm the ref

I bet you're thinking that I will take you back
Just like I did the last time, ain't having that
I won't be taking you back, matter of fact
You messed up the winning game
Ref, play it back

Don't you 'member back in the day
When all you had to do was stay
But you walked away
You made your bed, you know the rest
Now you want me to stay
Said you're right, but you went and left
You think this is a game
You ain't gon' win 'cause I'm the ref

Play it back
Won't you play it back
Ref, play it back
