[Chorus] Uh, uh, uh (Hey) I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey) Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be?

(Back) No one knows I realize, yeah It was only just a dream [Verse 1] I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement Number one spot, now she found her a replacement I swear now I can't take it Knowing somebody's got my baby And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring 'Cause I can still feel it in the air See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair My lover, my life My shawty, my wife She left me, I'm tight 'Cause I knew that it just ain't right [Chorus] Uh, uh, uh (Hey) I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey) Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be?

(Back) No one knows I realize, yeah It was only just a dream [Verse 2] When I be ridin', man, I swear I see her face at every turn Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it burn And I just hope she know that she the only one I yearn for More and more I miss her, when will I learn? Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback Now I'm in the club thinkin' all about my baby Hey, she was so easy to love But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough I'm goin' through it every time that I'm alone And now I'm missing, wishing she pick up the phone But she made a decision that she wanted to move on 'Cause I was wrong [Chorus] Uh, uh, uh (Hey) I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey) Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be?
