Lyrics

My baby left me for another guy

She calls him Giddy but she don't know why

But if I catch them at it someone's going to pay

For making me feel so bad for so long

The feeling only just went away


But I don't feel sick

I don't feel so bad anymore

I got over it

I don't feel so bad anymore


Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak

Rode all night 'till I finally hit the day

Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak

When the sun comes up I'm gonna catch Giddy up


My baby left me for another guy

She calls him Giddy but she don't know why

But if I catch them at it someone's going to pay

For making me feel so bad for so long

The feeling only just went away


I don't feel sick

I don't feel so bad anymore

I got over it

I don't feel so bad anymore


Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak

Rode all night 'till I finally hit the day

Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak

When the sun comes up I'm gonna catch Giddy up

Officially appears on
