Baby, let me explain to you I'm sayin
What you sayin'?
It's not even like that
It wasn't like that but I saw you
Baby, I don't love her
You don't love me
You know what I don't even want to talk to you
She don't mean nothing to me
I don't want to see your face (she was just telling me)
I just want to see you walking thourgh that door (baby, don't)
There ain't nothing else to say, peace (why we gotta do it like this?)
Baby, damn!
Come home late, it seems you barely beat the sun
Tapping my shoulder thinking you gonna get you some
Smelling like some fragrance that I don't even wear
So if you want some loving I suggest you go back there
Where you came from
Day to day with you it's always something else
Working my nerve, God knows that I don't deserve
What you put me through 'cause I been so true to you
For you to come at me with another lame excuse, see I
Heard it all before (heard it all before)
All of your lies, all of your sweet talk
Baby this, baby that
But your lies ain't working now (now)
Look who's hurting now (look who's hurting now)
See I had to shut you down (down)
I had to shut you down
Played the fool before (played the fool before)
I was your fool, I believed in you
Yes I did, yes I did
But your lies ain't working out (your lies ain't working out)
Look who's hurting now (look who's hurting now)
See, I had to shut you down (down)
I had to shut you down
What were you thinking bringing her into our home
In our bed, you must have fell and bumped your head
Messing up (messing up) my sheets and violating me (violating me)
Got me 'bout to call my peeps and take it to the streets
Nothing you can do and there's nothing you can say
That could persuade me to stay with you another day
You have crossed the line to the point of no return
What you do from here on out, I am no longer concerned, see I
Heard it all before (heard it all before)
Let me explain, baby, it's not what you think
That's what you said to me
But your lies ain't working out (now)
Look who's hurting now (now)
See I had to shut you down (down)
I had to shut you down (I had to shut you down)
Played the fool before (played the fool before)
You had a good game, I must admit
I was it (I was it), but now it's over
But your lies ain't working now (now)
Look who's hurting now (look who's hurting now)
See I had to shut you down (down)
I had to shut you down
I used to hang on to your every word (every word)
But the more you lie to me the more I hurt
The things you use to say would sound so sweet (sound so sweet)
I was naive, quick to believe
I heard it all before
"I was at work, it wasn't my car you saw
Baby, I swear it wasn't me!"
But your lies ain't working now (lies ain't working now)
Look who's hurting now (look who's hurting now)
See I had to shut you down
(I had to shut you down)
Played the fool before (played the fool before)
You were my boo, I trusted you
For way too long, way too long (way too long)
But your lies ain't working now (lies ain't working now)
Look who's hurting now
See I had to shut you down
(I had to shut you down)
Heard it all before
You know you messed up
You got to know you messed up
You got to go now
Say what you want (say what you want)
But your lies ain't working now (lies ain't working now)
Look who's hurting now (look who's hurting now)
See I had to shut you down down)
(I had to shut you down) down, down, down
Played the fool before (played the fool)
I done change the locks on the door (yes I did)
And you ain't welcome no more
But your lies ain't working now
Look who's hurting now (look who's hurting now, now, now, now)
See I had to shut you down
(I had to shut you down)
See I heard it all before
