Betcha Gon' Know (The Prologue) Lyrics
Oh, welcome to a day of my life (day of my life)
The memoir of an imperfect angel
Woah, welcome welcome welcome to a day of my life
The memoir of an imperfect angel oh
Though the lights were low, I could see you both
In a lover's silhouette
And my heart stood still, I was froze right there
Staring down at her red dress
So I bolted out the door, jumped right into the car
It's too dangerous to be in the vicinity of where you are
Rolled down all the windows, just so I could breathe
Can't believe you just actually did this shit to me
I'm going 'bout a hundred, mascara running
Laughing out of anger, but it don't strike me as funny
Been too good to you
I've been virtuous and true
To have something like this, happen in my own bedroom
Betcha gon' know oh how it feels (when I get you back)
Betcha gon' know oh how it feels (when your heart's been cracked)
Betcha gon' know oh how it feels (when we fade to black)
How it feels for real
And you see your whole world collapse
Imma la-la-la-la-la-laugh
Imma la-la-la-la-la-laugh
Imma la-la-la-la-la-laugh right in your face boy
Betcha Gon' Know oh how it feels
So I pulled to the side
Of the road to fix my face
But I can't cover with make up
What my tears want to erase
I wake up in a haze
Morning dew and sun rays
As I drive I hide my eyes
Behind my black Cavalli Shades
A block from the house
Slowly creep in the driveway
Tip toe through the door
But you're there wide awake
You're like "Where you been?"
I'm like "Sorry, I fell asleep of Jasmine's sofa.
I could've swore that Rae Rae
Called you and told ya"
You're like "You okay"
I'm like "I'm alright.
Little sleep and I'll be fine."
But if you only knew
What was in the back of my mind
You already stung
But you really gon find out in time
Betcha gon' know oh how it feels (when I get you back)
Betcha gon' know oh how it feels (when your heart's been cracked)
Betcha gon' know oh how it feels (when we fade to black)
How it feels for real
And you see your whole world collapse
This is for real, for real, for real
Oprah Winfrey whole segment, for real, for real
20/20, Barbara Walters, for real, for real
60 Minutes for real
(Baby)
I had all my trust in you and look at what you put me through, oh
(You got me all crazy)
Somewhere down the line you gon' get what you deserve, you fucking jerk
(Your were supposed to save me) you were supposed to save me
My sweet baby
(and now we're Fading away)
But you gon' know how this feels
Even if it's the last thing I ever do
To be continued

Obviously this song is about catching the one you love cheating on you and then having something that could ruin there life just as much as they've ruined yours.
I think this song is deeper than just catching someone cheating. I think its insight into the abuse she has reported that she withstood when she was married to Tommy M. I hope its not about her and Nick C. they seem to be in love. Love this song either way. I feel it to my core.
it could be about Miguel Luis...isn't he a known womanizer?
I adore this song. I really do. It shows a different side of Mariah Carey that we've never seen before and I quite like it. It's dark, moody and vengeful. I think it shows just how great an artist MC is. We're used to her uplifting power ballads and her depressing heartbreak songs. This song is totally differet than her rest. It's a side of Mariah that I'd love to see more of.
This is one of my fav mariah somgs.....for real,for real
I do believe this is a song about her relationship with Luis Miguel. But I don't understand why this lyrics are different from the real song, this is a remix or a collaboration with some one?
@Adgy It's a mess up in the system. There are two different versions, one is a remix, the other is the original. This is labeled as the original and has the remix's lyrics.
