[Chorus: x2] Been a long time You say you missed me Word gets round You shouldn't have dissed me Step back, don't try to kiss me Right about now I'm 50/50 I heard it through the grapevine that you were with him Just the other night I don't know why I Try hard to keep You so happy When you don't love me Don't Love me Are you calling me a liar? Are you saying that I'm not tellin' the truth? Denying what she told me You know you got way Too much to lose You're claiming they are rumours You say you got nothin' else to hide How come she told me? She saw somebody by your side [Chorus: x2] I know everything When I sent you on That shopping spree You went with him Spending my money Girl I'm so sorry But you gotta leave me, Just leave me Are you calling me a liar? Are you saying that I'm not tellin' the truth? Denying what she told me You know you got way Too much to lose You're claiming they are rumours You say you got nothin' else to hide How come she told me? She saw somebody by your side [Chorus: x2] Can't knock this no you Can't hold me down Keep hustling - girl I Won't be around Can't knock this no you Can't hold me down Keep hustling - girl I Won't be around [Chorus: x2]
