Come home late, it seems you barely beat the sun
tappin my shoulder thinkin you gone get you some
smellin like some fragrance that I don’t even wear
So if you want some lovin I suggest you go back there
Where you came frome, day-to-day with you it's always something else

workin my nerve, god knows that I don’t deserve
What you put me through cuz I been so true to you
For you to come at me with another lame excuse

See I heard it all before
(All of your lies all of your sweet talk
Baby this, baby that,
But you lies ain't workin not
Look who’s hurtin now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
See I played the fool before
I was your fool I believed in you
Yes I did
But your lies ain’t workin now
Look who hurtin now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down

What were you thinking, bringin her into our home
In our bed you must of fell and bumped your head
messin up my sheets and violatin me
Got me bout to call my peeps
And take it to the streets
Nothing you can do and there’s nothin you can say
That could persuade me stay wit 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
Let me explain baby it's not what you think
That’s what you said to me
But your lies ain’t workin now
Look who’s hurtin now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Played the fool before
You had a good game I must admit
I was it, but now it's over
But your lies ain’t workin now
Look who hurtin now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down

I used to hang on to your every word
But the more you lied to me the more I hurt
The things you used to say would sound so sweet
I’m not arguin’ but to believe

See I 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 workin now
Look who’s hurtin' now
see I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
Used to hang on to every word
But the more you lied to me the more I hurt
The things you used to say would sound so sweet
I'm not arguin' but to believe

See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down

Heard it all before
You know you messed up
You gotta know you messed up
You gotta go now
Say what you want
But your lies aint workin now
look who’s hurtin now
see I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down

Played the fool before
I done changed the locks on the doors (yes I did)
And you ain’t welcome no more
But your lies ain’t workin now
Look who's hurtin now
See I had to shut you down
I had to shut you down
see I heard it all before
