You can take your Usher CD
I will take my luther with me
You can take
I let you take my undergrads
You can keep that ghetto chain
Better leave that diamond ring
You might as well get used to your mom wearing it
You can tell your friends things won't be like they was before
All your flossing all the shopping I was paying for
You can act like you ain't sorry now but I no I'm gunna be this, when it all comes down to this

Were going outta business
Shutting down the door
Everythings so clear 'cause were closing up the store
Don't act like you dont hear it dont act like you dont know
We're going outta business everything must go

You better pay your cable bill
C'mon girl lets be for real
You're the one that had to have your Oprah and your Dr. Phil
Don't you touch that sofabed girl you know i payed for it
Can't have you and him on it up there having sex
You can tell your friends why not why were not down no more
You can tell them it was not what i was wishing for
You can act like your not sorry no more
Girl, I know I'm gonna be missed when it all comes down to this

Were going outta business
Shutting down the doors
Everythings so clear cause were closing up the store
Dont act like you dont hear it dont act like you dont know
Were going outta business everything must go
Were goin outa business
Counting down the days
Sometimes no conditions
In the finally stake
Dont act like you dont hear it
Dont act like you dont know

You can take them stupid lies
Put it were the sun dont shine
Take them to the ..... inside your mind
And if you appologize to let me outa tide
Wen it all comes down it all comes down to this

Were going outta business
Shutting down the door
Everythings so clear cause were closing up the store
Dont act like you dont hear it dont act like you dont know
Were going outta business everything in the store
Were goin outa business
Counting down to business
Sometimes no conditions
In the finally stake
Dont act like you dont hear it
Dont act like you dont know

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
