  • Oh-oh-oh, come on, oh yeah

    Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did)
    But I guess you didn't know
    As the saddest story goes
    Baby, now I got the flow
    'Cause I knew it from the start
    Baby, when you broke my heart
    That I had to come again and show you that I'm real

    (You lied to me) all those times I said that I loved you
    (You lied to me) yes, I tried, yes, I tried
    (You lied to me) even though you know I'd die for you
    (You lied to me) yes, I cried, yes, I cried

    (Return of the Mack) there it is
    (Return of the Mack) come on
    (Return of the Mack) oh my God
    (You know that I'll be back) here I am
    (Return of the Mack) once again
    (Return of the Mack) top of the world
    (Return of the Mack) watch my flow
    (You know that I'll be back) here I go

    So I'm back up in the game (hustlin' snow)
    Running things to keep my swing (all night long)
    Letting all the people know
    That I'm back to run the show
    'Cause what you did, you know was wrong
    And all the nasty things you've done (oh, oh, oh)
    So, baby, listen carefully
    While I sing my come-back song

    (You lied to me) 'cause she said she'd never turn on me
    (You lied to me) but you did, but you did
    (You lied to me) all these pains you said I'd never feel
    (You lied to me) but I do, but I do, do, do

    (Return of the Mack) there it is
    (Return of the Mack) hold on
    (Return of the Mack) don't you know?
    (You know that I'll be back) here I go
    (Return of the Mack) oh, little girl
    (Return of the Mack) once my pearl
    (Return of the Mack) up and down
    (You know that I'll be back) round and round

    Uh, Mark stop lying about your big break

    (You lied to me) 'cause she said she'd never turn on me
    (You lied to me) but you did, but you did
    (You lied to me) all this pain you said I'd never feel
    (You lied to me) but I do, but I do, do, do

    (Return of the Mack) there it is
    (Return of the Mack) come on
    (Return of the Mack) oh my god
    (You know that I'll be back) here I am
    (Return of the Mack) once again
    (Return of the Mack) top of the world
    (Return of the Mack) watch my flow
    (You know that I'll be back) don't you know?

    (Return of the Mack) there it is
    (Return of the Mack) hold on
    (Return of the Mack) be strong
    (You know that I'll be back) here I go
    (Return of the Mack) my little girl
    (Return of the Mack) once my pearl
    (Return of the Mack) up and down
    (You know that I'll be back) Writer/s: Mark Anthony Joseph Morrison

  • Vickie from St. Louis, MoIn 2012, Return of the Mack was also used extensively in NFL Draft commercials.
  • Jeff from BostonThis song really hit home for me when it came out as I'd been dumped by my girl and was trying to move on and be single again. I love the message: "The best revenge is living well." He isn't mooning over this chick, stalking her or begging her to come back, he's just letting her know that he's doing great and living his best life without her.
  • Shea from Christiansburg Va.Love this song soooo much ! Brings back awesome memories of when I met the greatest man ever !!
  • Jackie from Baltimore, MdThis song never seems to go out of style - love it.
  • Pytlak from Bakersfield, CaThis song was on an episode of Entourage a while back.
