[Intro]
Over and over
La la la la la la la la (Krucial Keys, Keyshia)
La la la la la la la la (Cole)
It's the way it is

[Verse 1]
Baby, I remember
A time when we were so secure but
Now it’s like December
When you say that I'm so insecure and
I gotta get away
'Cause you're making me weak
It's keeping me trapped (Keeping me trapped)
I gotta be a fool
Sittin' here, tryna get that old thing back (Thing back, oh)
Oh

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to keep your word
Was one who always did what you said
You used to speak to me so sweet
With something caring to say
Oh, you don't even try no more
Oh, you don't even care no more

[Chorus]
I don't wanna love you
Don’t wanna need you
Just wanna leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over

[Verse 2]
It's like I hate to love ya
A charade we play time after time (Time after time)
It's like ya love to see me
Confused and a mess, I'm losin' my mind (I'm losin' my mind)
I gotta get away
'Cause you're making me weak
It’s keeping me trapped (Keeping me trapped)
I gotta be a fool
Sittin' here, tryna get that old thing back (Thing back, oh)
Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to keep your word
Was one who always did what you said
You used to speak to me so sweet
With something caring to say
Oh, you don't even try no more
Oh, why you don't care no more?

[Chorus]
I don't wanna love you
Don't wanna need you
Just wanna leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (Hey)

[Bridge]
La la la la la la la la (La la la la)
La la la la la la la la (No, I don’t wanna hear it no more)
La la la la la la la la (All the lies, oh)
La la la la la la la la (You, you, you used to)

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to keep your word (Hey)
Was one who always did what you said (Baby, you care)
You used to speak to me so sweet (So sweet)
With something caring to say (Oh)
Oh, you don't even try no more
Oh, why you don't care no more?

[Chorus]
I don't wanna love you (I don't)
Don't wanna need you (No)
Just wanna leave you (i wanna, i swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (Yeah, hey)
I don't wanna love you (Oh)
Don't wanna need you
(Don't wanna) Just wanna leave you (I swear)
I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)
I just want it to be over (Hey, can it be over?)

[Outro]
Over and over
