[Intro]
(Ah, come on)
(Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes
Baby, count to three
And tell me now
Do you think of him like it used to be?
It ain't no surprise
Cos he's out of love and he's out of luck
Getting lazy now with that attitude
I've had enough
And it won't be the first time

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember the lies you denied cause you said so?
Yeah, what got into you?
Remember the love you discovered that he'd shown
Mmm, what's he trying to prove?
Remember the pay every day that he let go
Look what he's done to you
And he still he wanted you to run around him, girl

[Chorus]
No, it shouldn't be like that
Not fooling me
Damn his lovin', damn his lies
You're bugging me
No, it shouldn't be like that
He's trying to be (Oh, baby)
Trippin' out like all the guys, why can't you see?
(Why can't you see? Oh, baby)
[Verse 2]
It's 3 a.m. and he still ain't home
Out with his friends
Guess you could have thought, guess you should have known
That he ain't coming back
Girl, he's out of line, and he's out of time
'Cause I'm telling you, gotta take him on
And show your mind, and it won't be the last time

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember the lies you denied cause you said so?
Yeah, what got into you?
Remember the love you discovered that he'd shown
Mmm, what's he trying to prove?
Remember the pay every day that he let go
Look what he's done to you
And he still he wanted you to run around him, girl

[Chorus]
No, it shouldn't be like that (Like that)
Not fooling me (Not fooling me)
Damn his lovin', damn his lies (His lies)
You're bugging me (You're bugging me)
No, it shouldn't be like that (Like that)
He's trying to be (He's trying to be)
Trippin' out like all the guys, why can't you see? (Guys)
(Why can't you see?)
[Bridge]
So put away your money
She don't wanna know
It's too late to say "I'm sorry"
She don't wanna know (Wanna know)
She's leaving, don't you worry
Boy, let it go
Had your chance with no advance to take it
And I told you so

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember the lies you denied cause you said so?
Yeah, what got into you?
Remember the love you discovered that he'd shown
Mmm, what's he trying to prove?
Remember the pay every day that he let go
Look what he's done to you
And he still he wanted you to run around him, girl

[Chorus]
No, it shouldn't be like that (Like that)
Not fooling me (Not fooling me)
Damn his lovin', damn his lies (His lies)
You're bugging me (You're bugging me)
No, it shouldn't be like that (Like that)
He's trying to be (He's trying to be)
Trippin' out like all the guys, why can't you see? (Guys)
(Why can't you see?)
[Post-Chorus]
Girl, I'm saying
That his love and his lies keep you waiting
Now he's paying
'Cause you're no longer his for the taking
(No, it shouldn't be like that)
(Not fooling me)
Girl, I'm saying
That his love and his lies keep you waiting
(Damn his lovin', damn his lies)
(You're bugging me)
(No, it shouldn't be like that)
Now he's paying
(He's trying to be)
'Cause you're no longer his for the taking
(Trippin' out like all the guys, why can't you see?)
(No, it shouldn't be like that)
Girl, I'm saying
(No, it shouldn't be like that)
(Not fooling me)
That his love and his lies keep you waiting
(Damn his lovin', damn his lies)
(You're bugging me)
(No, it shouldn't be like that)
Now he's paying
'Cause you're no longer his for the taking
