[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Used to believe in every word you said, clouds my head (Hey)
Leavin' me here to drown (Hey, hey, oh)
Hopes and dreams, therefore dead
You point your finger, tryna justify your mistakes
(You're gonna justify)
Our changes gon' be made
So you best be on your way

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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, it's time and I'm through with you
Nothing you can say or can do can make me change my mind

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no, no, no, no
