Fuck You

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like: Fuck you (ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like: Fuck you and fuck her too
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Hah, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a: Fuck you (ooh)

Yeah, 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
Mmm, but the way you play your game ain't fair

I pity the fool that falls in love with you, oh
(Oh, shit, she's a gold digger) well?
(Just thought you should know, nigga) ooh
I've got some news for you
Yeah, go run and tell your little boyfriend

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like: Fuck you (ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like: Fuck you and fuck her too
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Hah, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a: Fuck you (ooh)

Now I know that 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 ass ain't cheap, nah

I pity the fool that falls in love with you, oh
(Oh, shit, she's a gold digger) well?
(Just thought you should know, nigga) ooh
I've got some news for you
Uh, I really hate yo ass right now

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like: Fuck you (ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like: Fuck you and fuck her too
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Hah, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a: Fuck you (ooh)

Now, baby, baby, baby, why you wanna, wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad) so bad
I tried to tell my momma, but she told me: This is one for your dad
(Your dad, your dad, your dad) yes, she did

And I'm like: (Uh) why?
(Uh) why?
(Uh) why, lady?
(Oh) I love you
(Oh) I still love you, oh

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
Uh, fuck you (ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like: Fuck you and fuck her too
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Hah, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a: Fuck you (ooh)

Desamor e Ironia em Fuck You de Cee Lo Green

A música Fuck You, interpretada por Cee Lo Green, é um misto de desabafo e ironia que aborda o fim de um relacionamento sob a perspectiva de alguém que foi deixado por não ser suficientemente rico. A canção se destaca por seu refrão cativante e pela forma como mistura sentimentos de mágoa e sarcasmo. A letra expressa a frustração do narrador ao ver a pessoa amada com outro, sugerindo que o motivo da separação foi materialista, evidenciado pela linha 'I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough'.

O contraste entre o amor genuíno do narrador e o interesse material da ex-parceira é um tema central da música. Cee Lo Green utiliza metáforas como 'I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more Atari' para ilustrar a diferença entre o que ele pode oferecer e o que o novo parceiro da ex oferece, destacando uma competição de status e posses. Apesar da dor evidente, o narrador ainda deseja o melhor para a ex, embora de maneira irônica, como mostrado no verso 'And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best with a: Fuck you'.

Musicalmente, Fuck You é uma faixa que combina elementos do soul, funk e pop, refletindo o estilo eclético de Cee Lo Green. A canção alcançou grande sucesso comercial e foi aclamada pela crítica, em parte devido à sua abordagem direta e descompromissada de um tema universal: o coração partido. A habilidade de Green em transformar uma experiência dolorosa em uma música animada e até mesmo dançante é um testemunho de seu talento como compositor e intérprete.
