Wait
Its you
And at the end of it all its you
And at the end
Its you
At the end of it all its you
Its you
Its you
At the end of it all its you
Its you
Its you
At the end of it all

Lookin' for how I see her
When I finally realized couldn't believe it
I couldn't, even swallow
Had a lump in my throat my stomach hollow
I had a notion that things were fishy
But everything was fine so I'd be pissy
But when you wasn't seeing me nights you get in
That's when the snoopin' and shit it would begin
Where you at?
Where you going?
That's what I get when I pick up the phone
Not a hello or I miss you
Or the renaissance how does it do?
Suspicious ones go few
Can stress out your brain
In weighs on your mane
And helps you peep game I thought it was me
But then I could it see

It was you
Its you
At the end of it all it was you
And at the end
It was you
At the end of it all it was you
And at the end
Its you
Its you
At the end of it all its you
Its you
Its you
At the end of it all

I couldn't take it
But the spell of love
I couldn't shake it
Even though I would discover
That there was somebody else
It was your lover
You gave me up
And managed to turn the tables
And all your honest words they turn to fables
The things that you would accuse me of
It seem were the things you were doin' love
Get it? these things you projected
And I don't want to be affected
But when you get in love
Its never easy love
To make decisions of
You've defected
You were doin' so much to try to pin me
Goin' through all my stuff but it was empty
Answers, that I'm seekin'
Well it seem I'm gettin' close
That I'm reachin'
And I was thinkin' I had no reason
Callin' you a culprit it was treason
And the twinkle in your eye
It was kinda not for love
And tell me why?
We'll make a mends if you admit it
We can ascend if your committed
Your heart, is it in it?
If it goes for many days
Sweet love can decay from you

Its you
At the end of it all it was you
And at the end
It was you
At the end of it all it was you
And the end
Its you
Its you
At the end of it all its you
Its you
Its you
At the end of it all
