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 ya face I just want to see you walking thourgh that door there ain't nothing else to say peace Come home late It seems you barely beat the sun Tapping my shoulder thinking you gon get you some Smelling like some fragrance that I don't even wear 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 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 ya lies, all of ya sweet talk Baby this, Baby that But your lies ain't working 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) I was your fool I believed in you Yes I did yes I did But your lies ain't working now look who's hurting now See I had to shut you 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 my sheets and violating me Have me bout to call my peeps and take it to the streets Nothing you can do And there's nothing you can say That would 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 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 got a good game I must admit I was it but it's over But your lies ain't working now look who's hurting now See I had to shut you down (I had to shut you down) Use to hang on to your every word but the more you lie to me the more I hurt the things you use to say would sound so sweet I was naive Quick 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 working 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 But your 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 But your lies ain't working now look who's hurting now See I had to shut you down (I had to shut you down) Played the fool before 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 See I had to shut you down (I had to shut you down) See I heard it all before
