Lyrics of
Forget You

Forget You by CeeLo Green was created as a more radio-friendly version of the original F*** You. The songwriters expressed romantic frustrations and disappointments in a humorous and ironic way. The inspiration came from the personal experiences of the composers, especially CeeLo Green, who wanted to blend elements of pain with a comedic touch.

I see you driving round town with the girl I love
And I'm like "Forget you!" Ooo ooo ooo
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
And I'm like "Forget you, and forget her too."
If I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Now ain't that something (Ain't that something)
And though there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best
With a "Forget you"
I said I'm sorry I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair

I pity the foooooool who falls in love with you
Oh she's a gold digger, just thought you should know
Ooooooooo, I got some news for you
You can go run and tell your boyfriend

I see you driving round town with the girl I love
And I'm like "Forget you!" Ooo ooo ooo
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
And I'm like "Forget you, and forget her too."
If I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Now ain't that something (Ain't that something)
And though there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best
With a "Forget you"
Now I know I had to borrow, beg and steal and lie and cheat
Tryin to keep ya, tryin' to please ya
Cause being in love with your ain't cheap

I pity the foooooool who falls in love with you
Oh she's a gold digger, just thought you should know
Ooooooooo, I got some news for you
Ooh, I really hate you right now

I see you driving round town with the girl I love
And I'm like "Forget you!" Ooo ooo ooo
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
And I'm like "Forget you, and forget her too."
If I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Now ain't that some something (Ain't that something)
And though there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best
With a "Forget you"

Now baby, baby, baby, why'd you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(so bad, so bad, so bad)
Uh, why? Uh, why? Uh Why lady?
Oh, I love you I still love you, oh
I see you driving round town with the girl I love
And I'm like "Forget you!" Ooo ooo ooo
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
And I'm like "Forget you, and forget her too."
If I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Now ain't that some something (Ain't that something)
And though there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best
With a "Forget you"
Oo, oo, ooo
