Comin' home late
It seems you
Barely beat the sun
Tappin' my shoulder
Thinkin' you gon'
Get you some
Smellin' like some fragrance
That I don't even wear
If you want some lovin'
I suggest you go back there
(Where you came from)
Day to day, with you
It's always something else
Workin' my nerve
God knows that
I don't deserve
What you put me through
'Cause I've been so true to you
For you to come at me
With another lame excuse
(See I)
Heard it all before
(All of your lies
All of your sweet talk
Baby this Baby that)
But your lies ain't workin' now
Look who's hurtin' now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Played the fool before
(I was your fool,
I believed in you,
Yes I did, yes I did)
But your lies ain't workin' now
Look who's hurtin' now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
What were you thinkin'
Bringing her into our home
In our bed, you must have
Fell and bumped your head
Messin' up my sheets
And 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 can 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
(Let me explain baby
Baby, it's not what you think
That's what you said to me)
But your lies ain't workin' now
Look who's hurtin' now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Played the fool before
(You were my boo
I trusted you
For way too long way too long)
But your lies ain't workin' now
Look who's hurtin' now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Ooh, used to hang on
To your every word
But the more you lied
To me the more I hurt
The things you used to
Say would sound so sweet
I'm naive, good to believe
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 workin' now
Look who's hurtin' now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Played the fool before
(You were my boo
I trusted you
For way too long
Way too long)
But your lies ain't workin' now
Look who's hurtin' now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
There's been times in the past
When true love is what I thought I had
But that wasn't the case
I wish I could erase
The times I've hurt so bad
And now I find myself, here with you
Just as nervous as can be
Trying to give love a chance to live inside of me
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
I cannot lie
You more than caught my eye
I'm really liking what I see
And now that I know if you and I can grow
If I never let the past go
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
You seem like, your mama raised you right
It was nice of you to invite
Me out for a night on the town
And so far I like how you get down
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
