Go On Girl Lyrics

Oh, oh
Oh

I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she don't know how to act
Never been a dumb dude, no, I'm not dense
I just had a slight lack of common sense
I was the good guy
She was the bad girl
I'm thinking one girl
She thinking me, Earl, James, and Jimmy
Yep, she had plenty
But love for me, she didn't have any

I was inviting (her into my heart)
Hmm, but she was out riding (in some other man's car, yeah)
She was my night time (thought I was her star)
Guess I was wrong, but see, I'm strong
Won't take long for me to move on

Oh, please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl

I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she don't know how to act
Tried to settle down and look what I get
Thought it was my time, but I guess not yet
She at the bar getting drinks from many men
I'm in the house, thinking she's with her girlfriends
Just not knowin', truly not knowin'
I look back now like, "Man, I was open"

I was inviting (her into my heart), hey
But she was out riding (in some other man's car), ooh
She was my night time (thought I was her star), hey
Guess I was wrong, but see, I'm strong
Won't take long for me to move on

Oh, please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine) hey
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time) ayy
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl

Ooh, the mistake I made was clear
(We never should've been together) ooh
That's the reason you're not here
(I know that I can do much better)
Hey, not a single salty tear
Not a feelin' in my chest
Baby, I'm feelin' no stress
I'm too fly to be depressed

Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Mmm
Go on, girl, go on, girl
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hey, ooh

Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine), hey
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl

Oh, please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
(Please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl (go on, girl)
Go on, girl

Mmm, go on, girl, go on, girl, go on, girl
I'll be fine

What is the Meaning of Go On Girl?

In the symphony of heartbreak, Ne-Yo’s soulful croon paints a vivid portrait of love lost and lessons learned. This ballad tells the tale of a man who once opened his heart to a woman unworthy of his devotion. She played him for a fool, her affections scattered among many, while he remained steadfast and true. But rather than wallow in sorrow, our protagonist rises above the betrayal with grace and resilience. He acknowledges his missteps but refuses to be broken, embracing self-worth and moving forward with confidence. His message is clear: sometimes letting go is the ultimate act of strength.
