Baby it's over

Tryin' to forget about
Ordinary thangs
Typical predictable
Baby I knew the end before we started
You had me feelin' like I owe you somethin'
Cause you were there in times when I had nothin'
But you threw it all away
With the shady things you do

So forgive me
For what I'm bout to say
And what I'm bout to do 
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you

You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you been chasin' every girl in sight
And you been messin' around and lyin' down 
It's over now X 2

I ignored my intuition
And passed it off as a suspicion
But you were just so bold
You kept puttin' in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me

So baby please forgive me
For what I'm bout to do
And what I'm bout to say
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love 
 
You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you been chasin' every girl in sight
And you been messin' around and lyin' down
It's over now X 2

When you were down I helped to pick you up
But you didn't appreciate my love
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
Hopin' love could take my place
When all the while what your were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it 
You'll regret it
It's really over now
Just turn around
Don't watch me walk along

I ain't down no no no more
You been messin'

You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You bee creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night 
And you been chasin' every girl in sight
And you been messin' around and lyin' down
It's over now X 3
