  • Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Broken promises
    My heart you stole, lies you told
    Got the best of me
    Digging in my heart of gold (hey)
    Used to look at you and see the possibilities (yeah)
    I see you for who you are
    Boy, you've disappointed me

    I thought you gave me love
    Was never near enough
    Soon enough, time reveals
    Love wait of what is real
    Know all I need to know (and I know it)
    Boy, see, you gotta go (bye, bye)
    What have you given me (hey)
    But lies, lies? (Hey)

    Go ahead, go on and get up outta here
    Go ahead, baby
    You knew you was wrong
    You knew all along
    Must be crazy
    If you think I'ma fall for this anymore
    Everybody say no, no, no, no
    Everybody say no, no, no, no, no, no, no

    Used to believe in every word you said, clouds my head (hey)
    Leavin' me here to drown (hey, hey, oh)
    Hopes and dreams, left for dead
    You point your finger, tryna justify your mistakes (you cannot justify)
    Our changes gon' be made
    So you best be on your way

    I thought you gave me love
    Was never near enough
    Soon enough, time reveals
    Love wait of what is real (so real)
    Know all I need to know (yeah)
    Boy, see, you gotta go (go)
    What have you given me
    But lies, lies? (Hey)

    Go ahead, go on and get up out of here (ayy)
    Go ahead, baby
    You knew you was wrong
    You knew all along
    Must be crazy
    If you think I'ma fall for this anymore
    Everybody say no, no, no, no
    Everybody say no, no, no, no, no, no, no (say it)

    No need to apologize, don't try to make it right
    I know, I should've known better
    When you took hold, I was sold
    Using fear to control, now it unfolds (oh)
    Let me tell you right now what I'm gonna do
    Made up my mind this time and I'm through with you
    Nothing you can say or can do can make me change my mind

    So, just go ahead, go on and get up out of here
    Go ahead, baby
    You knew you was wrong
    You knew all along
    Must be crazy
    If you think I'ma fall for this anymore
    Everybody say no, no, no, no
    Everybody say no, no, no, no, no, no, no

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    No, no, no, no, no, no Writer/s: Alicia J. Augello-Cook, Kerry D. Brothers Jr., Mark Christopher Batson, Marsha Ambrosius
