[Chorus]
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                      Bm
 That I am ready to go,  heartbeat
   C
My heartbeat
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                        Bm
 Whenever you are around,  can't speak
  C
I can't speak
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                      Bm
 That I am ready to go,  heartbeat
   C
My heartbeat
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                        Bm
 Whenever you are around,  can't speak
  C
I can't speak

[Verse 1]
Em
  I know what your boy like
D
 Skinny tie and a cuff type
Bm
  He go and make breakfast
C
 You walkin' round naked
Em
  I might just text you
D
 Turn your phone over
          Bm
When it's all over, no settlin' down
        C
My text go to your screen,
you know better than that
        Em
I come around when you least expect me
                   D
I'm sittin' at the bar when your glass is empty
                       Bm
You thinkin' that this song's comin' on to tempt me
              C
I need to be alone like the way you left me
              Em
You start callin'; you start crying
        D
I come over; I'm inside you
            Bm
I can't find  you,
the girl that I once had
C
 But the sex that we have isn't half bad
Em
  Text say that "It's not fair"
D
 That's code for "He's not here"
Bm
  And I'ma flirt with this new girl
C
 And I'ma call if it don't work
      Em
So we fuck 'til it come to conclusions
        D
All the things that we thought we were losin'
      Bm
I'm a ghost, and you know this
              C
That's why we broke up in the first place,
'cause

[Chorus]
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                      Bm
 That I am ready to go,  heartbeat
   C
My heartbeat
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                        Bm
 Whenever you are around,  can't speak
  C
I can't speak
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                      Bm
 That I am ready to go,  heartbeat
   C
My heartbeat
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                        Bm
 Whenever you are around,  can't speak
  C
I can't speak

[Verse 2]
Em
  It's late night Thursday
D
 I know that you heard me
Bm
  But you don't want the same thing
C
 Hmm, well, two can play that game
Em
  So I'm chillin' with my girlfriend
D
 But she not my real girlfriend
Bm
  She got a key to my place but
C
 She not my real girlfriend
Em
  Stupid, so dummy
D
 Say the wrong thing,
and wrong girls come runnin'
Bm
  I'm paranoid that these girls want somethin' from me
C
 And it's hard to make a dime go one hunnid
Em
  And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate
D
 She on time,
but she late for they first date
Bm
  'Cause he went and tried out a new condom
        C
Slipped off in a threesome,
good problems?
Em
  Right? Wrong
                    D
Askin' 'em if she'd wanna play games
We the Super Smash Brothers,
         Bm
but none of 'em you
                                   C
I miss the sex where you kiss whenever you through
                          Em
Sixty nine is the only dinner for two
I was wrong,
                     D
but would you have listened to you?
Uh, you were crazy
Bm
  I got a heart,
but the art of choking's
     C
Only thing girls want when you in that smoke and light

[Chorus]
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                      Bm
 That I am ready to go,  heartbeat
   C
My heartbeat
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                        Bm
 Whenever you are around,  can't speak
  C
I can't speak
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                      Bm
 That I am ready to go,  heartbeat
   C
My heartbeat
Em
  I wanted you to know
D                        Bm
 Whenever you are around,  can't speak
  C
I can't speak

[Verse 3]
Em
  So we're done? This the real shit?
D
 We used to hold hands like field trips
Bm
  I'm a jerk,
but your dude is a real dick
C
 I read his posts on your wall,
and I feel sick
Em
  He ain't cool, he ball and all that
       D
But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps
Bm
  You couldn't wait to date
                            C
I'm goin' straight for your thighs like the cake you ate
                        Em
I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you ate
                      D
You know that I'm the best when I'm a faketionate
                      Bm
I'm the best that you had, face it
                     C
J. and Keyshia are related: racist
                           Em
I give you money; then you burn me,
then you made off
She ain't a killer,
          D
but she'd fuckin' blow your head off
I know he wonderin',
     Bm
"What  the fuck you hidin'?"
                       C
That we dated like raps about Bin Laden; ayo,
fuck this

[Outro]
Em
  Are we datin'? Are we fuckin'?
D
 Are we best friends? Are we somethin'
Bm
  In between that?
                C
I wish we never fucked, and I mean that
Em
  But not really
            D
You say the nastiest shit in bed,
and it's fuckin' awesome
