Gift & Curse Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, yeah
Oh, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When my ex-girlfriend seen my new girlfriend
She was like, "Damn, how he get her?"
When my ex-girlfriend seen my new girlfriend
She was like, "Damn, how he get her?"
[Verse 1]
But she didn't blame me
She called me up and said, "I see you B, she's amazing"
I guess she wasn't lying when she said she only wanted me happy, no
It takes a real women to say she's proud
[Pre-Chorus]
How'd I make my ex-girl compliment my next girl?
Crazy the way things turned out
I never thought she'll be cool with seeing me with my new chick
She's finally off of that bullshit now
Baby, you're so bad that she can't even be mad at me
You gotta be amazing 'cause she always be hating
Baby, you're so bad that she can't even be mad at me
She know she put me through it, finally off of that bullshit
Oh, yeah
Oh, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When my ex-girlfriend seen my new girlfriend
She was like, "Damn, how he get her?"
When my ex-girlfriend seen my new girlfriend
She was like, "Damn, how he get her?"
[Verse 1]
But she didn't blame me
She called me up and said, "I see you B, she's amazing"
I guess she wasn't lying when she said she only wanted me happy, no

[Pre-Chorus]
How'd I make my ex-girl compliment my next girl?

*Phone rings*
Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system
[Verse 3]
Every time I ask to see you
You say, "Just a minute, let me check my schedule"
And you know that I don't trip
I say I love you, I support you, you already know
See it's a gift and its' a curse
When you got someone who just ain't waiting around
I don't complain, you don't complain
We do our thang and we hook up when work allows
Oh, make time for me, girl
Oh, make time for me, baby
Oh, won't you just make time for me?
I need you to make time for me, yeah
I know you don't need me, that's why I love you
You don't need me, that's why I love you
You don't need me, that's why I love you
Girl, make time for me
Woah, can you make time for me, yeah?
