Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Met a boy it was love at first sight
Said he'd only see one at a time
Which was nice but that shit was a lie, was a lie

[Pre-Chorus]
Had a wife and a thing on the side (Side)
Where the fuck did he find all the time (Time)
When he was sleeping at mine (Mine)
Where did he find all the time (Time)
Now, what was I supposed to do?

[Chorus]
He had it comin'
He had it comin'
He only had himself to blame (Self to blame)
If you would've been there
If you would've seen it
I bet you, you would have done the same

[Verse 2]
Tell me what you would've done
Hit him with the hit and run
Didn’t wanna hurt no one
So I just slid in his DM, your best friend
That's all I did, I'm innocent

[Pre-Chorus]
Had a wife and a thing on the side (Side)
Where the fuck did he find all the time (Time)
When he was sleeping at mine (Mine)
Where did he find all the time (Time)
Now, what was I supposed to do?

[Chorus]
He had it comin'
He had it comin'
He only had himself to blame (Self to blame)
If you would've been there
If you would've seen it
I bet you, you would have done the same
He had it comin'
He had it comin'
He only had himself to blame (Self to blame)
If you would've been there
If you would've seen it
I bet you, you would have done the same

[Outro]
You, baby
Ah-ah-ah
