I saw your new girlfriend the other day
And I expected for her to be so much more than she was
I checked out her style, the way she smiled
The way she moved, the things she said
The way she looked at me like, "I got yo man"

She can't love you like I can
All of her love just can't compare to what I have
She can't touch you like I do
'Cause when y'all touchin', you pretend it's me and you

And there's no way, her love's as good as mine
Oh baby baby baby yeah
There's no reason for you to waste your time
No no no no no no

When we were together
You told me what you didn't like
And you went out and got exactly that type
You said that your new girl is nothing compared to me
Everything that she does wrong, I always do right

She can't hold you like I can
Boy, you a fool if you can't realize what you had
She can't feel you like I can
'Cause I'm a girl that's always standin' by my man

And there's no way, her love's as good as mine
There's no, no no way
There's no reason for you to waste your time
No no no, no reason
And there's no way her love's as good as mine
Mine, mine, mi mi mi mine
There's no reason for you to waste your time

There's no way, there's no way
That her love could be, could be as good as mine
Oh yeah yeah yeah
There's no reason, no reason
For you to even go and waste your time
Your time

And there's no way, her love's as good as mine (mine)
There's no reason for you to waste your time (time)
And there's no way her love's as good as mine (her love can be as good as)
As good as mine, as mine, oh
There's no reason for you to waste your time (time)

And there's no way (there's no way, there's no way)
Her love's as good as mine (that her love can be can be as good as mine, oh yeah)
There's no reason for you to waste your time

If thou can wait, then thou shall stay
