[Intro] Hit that, hit that snare [Verse 1] I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock It's a matter of time before we all run out When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth I waited eight long months, she finally set him free I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me Two weeks and we caught on fire She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile [Chorus] Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now But God, does it feel so good 'Cause I got him where I want him now And if you could, then you know you would 'Cause God, it just feels so It just feels so good [Verse 2] Second chances, they don't ever matter, people never change Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up, now look this way Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like you Looking as innocent as possible to get to who They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse! [Chorus] Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now But God, does it feel so good 'Cause I got him where I want him right now And if you could, then you know you would 'Cause God, it just feels so It just feels so good [Bridge] I watched his wildest dreams come true And not one of them involving you Just watch my wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving [Breakdown] Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now [Chorus] Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now But God, does it feel so good 'Cause I got him where I want him now And if you could, then you know you would 'Cause God, it just feels so It just feels so good
