[Intro: Silk]
Umm oh no no no no no
(sunshine has gone away)
Didn't have to get like this baby
(No my love, ooh)
Nothing but rainy days
It's over now it's all over now

[Verse 1: Keith Sweat & Silk]
You want me to act like nothing never happened
Baby I wish I could
But every last situation that arises o honey, remind me how you treated me no good (o no baby)
You told me lies, you, made me cry, now you sigh, why? Why? Why? (Played your self baby)
Why'd you do me wrong?
Now you miss, what we had
Its too late, oh baby
To you I sing this song

[Chorus: Keith Sweat]
Sorry, sorry, baby, it's over now you went for yours, now I'm going for mine
Sorry, sorry, baby, it's over now you went for yours, now I'm going for mine

[Verse 2: Keith Sweat & Silk]
Oh girl
I was doing my job, o sugar
Doing the best for you and I (it's okay)
And even though
The whole time you was running your own little show
You must have been the star (you sold out baby)
You took it to far
Yea girl
I spend nights all alone
Couldn't reach, you on the phone my baby
(tell me where) tell me where were you
Now you miss, what we had its to late my baby (say you wanna come back) again i sing this song to you
(No no girl its not like that)

[Chorus: Keith Sweat]
Sorry, sorry, baby, it's over now you went for yours, now I'm going for mine
Sorry, sorry, baby, it's over now you went for yours, now I'm going for mine

[Bridge: Keith Sweat]
Oh, you played me girl (You played me girl)
Oh, you ruined a good thing (you led me on)
Yeah girl, yes you did (I'm Going For Mine Girl)
Listen girl you got the best of you
Now girl we're through tell me girl
What can I do?

[Chorus: Keith Sweat]
Sorry, sorry (sorry baby) baby it's over now you went for yours now I'm going for mine (I'm going for mine)
Sorry sorry (sorry baby) baby it's over now you went for yours now I'm going for mine (I'm going for mine)

[Outro: Keith Sweat]
Why did you have to hurt me girl? (Why didn't let me know)?
Why did you have to do me wrong? (Why did you do me wrong)?
I loved you baby (I loved you baby)
Now I gotta I gotta sing this song (sunshine has gone away)

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
