Heard It All Before

Baby (Uh uh)

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)

She- (You know what? I don't even want to talk to you)

She don't mean nothing to me (I don't even want to see your face)

She was just telling- (I just want to see you walking through that door)

Baby, don't- (There ain't nothing else to say)

Why we gotta do it like this? (Peace)

Baby

Damn

Coming home late

It seems you barely beat the sun

Tapping my shoulder

Thinking you gonna get you some

Smelling like some fragrance

That I don't even wear

So 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 that 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 your lies, all of your sweet talk, "baby" this, "baby" that

(But your lies ain't working now) Now

(Look who's hurting now) Look who's hurting now

(See, I had to shut you down) 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) Lies ain't working now

(Look who's hurting now) Look who's hurting now

(See, I had to shut you down) 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 (Messing up)

And violating me (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 (You can say)

That could 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

Baby, it's not what you think"

That's what you said to me

(But your lies ain't working now) Now

(Look who's hurting now) Now

(See, I had to shut you down) Had to shut you down

(I had to shut you down) Down

(Played the fool before) Played the fool before

You had a good game, I must admit

I was it (I was it)

But now it's over

(But your lies ain't working now) Now

(Look who's hurting now) Look who's hurting now

(See, I had to shut you down) Down

(I had to shut you down)

Ooh

I used to hang onto your every word (Every word)

But the more you lied to me the more I hurt (Mmm)

The things you used to say would sound so sweet (Sound so sweet)

I was naive (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) Lies ain't working now

(Look who's hurting now) Look who's hurting now

(See, I had to shut you down) Down

(I had to shut you down) Down

(Played the fool before) Played the fool before

You were my boo, I trusted you

For way too long, way too long, long (Way too long)

(But your lies ain't working now) Lies ain't working now

(Look who's hurting now) Now

(See, I had to shut you down)

(I had to shut you down)

(Heard it all before)

You know you messed up (You've got to know you messed up)

You gotta go now

Say what you want, mmm (Say what you want)

(But your lies ain't working now) Lies ain't working

(Look who's hurting now) Look who's hurting

(See, I had to shut you down) Down

(I had to shut you down) Down, down now

(Played the fool before) Played the fool

I done change the locks on the door (Yes I did)

And you ain't welcome no more (You ain't welcome no more)

(But your lies ain't working now) Lies

(Look who's hurting now) Look who's hurting now

(See, I had to shut you down) Now now now

(I had to shut you down)

See I heard it all before
