[Verse 1: Rhona Bennett]
My clothes, my heart, my keys
You actin' up, so baby please
Step outta my way, no
The best thing is to let it all go
Let go of my arm, don't
You made your bag of coffee 'cause you were wrong
And I don't want to talk no more
Move from out in front of the door

[Chorus: Rhona Bennett & (En Vogue)]
(Stop) And take the time to think of how you brought this on
(Stop) Don't disillusion yourself, I thought we were grown
(Stop) It's my conclusion that I'm walking out alone
(Stop) Our love don't have home, no more, no

[Verse 2: Rhona Bennett]
You can't explain, so don't even try
'Cause I'm no longer letting your shit slide
Why you trying to act like you're so hurt
You won't get sympathy from me
'Cause for you, I've got no words
Stop with your begging and pleading
When you sexed her up, you shoulda been thinking
And now there's nothing that can take it back
See, I was ride or die for you but now it's a wrap

[Chorus: Rhona Bennett & (En Vogue)]
(Stop) And take the time to think of how you brought this on
(Stop) Don't disillusion yourself, I thought we were grown
(Stop) It's my conclusion that I'm walking out alone
(Stop) Oh, our love don't have home, no more, no

[Bridge: En Vogue]
I've heard these lies a thousand times
Boy, I'm tired of your excuses and the same ol' lines
Talking 'bout you "love me", you "need me", "do anything for me"
Well, it's too late for that now (Too late for that now)
'Cause I'm about to bounce

[Chorus: Rhona Bennett & (En Vogue)]
(Stop) Oh yeah yeah, why don't you stop
(Stop) Don't disillusion yourself, I thought we were grown
(Stop) It's my conclusion that I'm walking out, baby
(Stop) Our love don't have home, no
(Stop) No no no no, no no, why don't you just
(Stop) Ain't nothin' more to say, so why don't you just
(Stop) Call Dr. Phil, you know he's gonna keep it real
(Stop) Ooh yeah, oh baby, just
(Stop) Take some time to reflect on what you did
(Stop) Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh baby, just
(Stop) Please don't you clown yourself, please don't you clown yourself
(Stop) No no no no, oh, you gotta just
(Stop) You gotta just...

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
