[Verse 1]
Tell me he didn't break your heart
Tell me he didn't lie to you
Tell me there's no way that he set you up
Tell me there's no way that you'll let him use you
You'd think by now you'd know him by all his signs
So how could you be a fool?

[Chorus]
Girl, here he comes again
Tellin' lies to you
Girl, here he comes again
To break your heart
You'll find out, you know he's no good
When will you learn
He's nothing but a user

[Verse 2]
It's not my place to say what to do, no
But I just can't stand when love abuses you
He's never gonna change, no no no
He enjoys seeing you in so much pain
So little girl, get up off your face
And hold your head up high
And tell him that you are through

[Chorus]
Girl, here he comes again
Tellin' lies to you
Girl, here he comes again
To break your heart
You'll find out, you know he's no good
When will you learn
He's nothing but a user

[Bridge]
Girl, I know you want me
I see the look in your eyes
All you have to do is ask me
Don't think you're wasting your time
I am yours if you want me
All you have to do is tell me
Do you want me? Do you want him?
Look behind your back, he's comin' again

[Chorus]
Girl, here he comes again
Tellin' lies to you
Girl, here he comes again
To break your heart
You'll find out, you know he's no good
When will you learn
He's nothing but a user
Girl, here he comes again
Tellin' lies to you
Girl, here he comes again
To break your heart
You'll find out, you know he's no good
When will you learn
He's nothing but a user

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
