Lyrics

To the left, to the left To the left, to the left (Mmh) To the left, to the left Everything you own in the box to the left In the closet, that's my stuff Yes, if I bought it, please don't touch (Don't touch) And keep talking that mess, that's fine Could you walk and talk at the same time? And, it's my name that's on that Jag' So remove your bags, let me call you a cab Standing in the front yard Tellin' me how I'm such a fool Talkin' 'bout, how I'll never ever find a man like you You got me twisted You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I could have another you in a minute Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I can have another you by tomorrow So don't you ever for a second get to thinking You're irreplaceable So go ahead and get gone Call up that chick and see if she's home Oops, I bet you thought that I didn't know What did you think I was puttin' you out for? Because you was untrue Rolling her around in the car that I bought you Baby, drop them keys Hurry up before your taxi leaves Standing in the front yard Tellin' me how I'm such a fool Talking 'bout how I'll never ever find a man like you You got me twisted You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I could have another you in a minute Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I'll have another you by tomorrow So don't you ever for a second get to thinking You're irreplaceable (Irreplaceable) So since I'm not your everything How about I'll be nothing? Nothing at all to you Baby, I won't shed a tear for you I won't lose a wink of sleep 'Cause the truth of the matter is Replacing you was so easy To the left, to the left To the left, to the left (Mmh) To the left, to the left Everything you own in the box to the left To the left, to the left Don't you ever for a second get to thinking You're irreplaceable You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I can have another you in a minute Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I can have another you by tomorrow So don't you ever for a second get to thinking (Baby) You must not know 'bout me You must not know 'bout me I can have another you in a minute Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute You could pack all you things, we're finished (You must not know 'bout me) 'Cause you made your bed, now lay in it (You must not know 'bout me) I can have another you by tomorrow Don't you ever for a second get to thinking You're irreplaceable
