[Spoken Intro: Nivea & R. Kelly]
Baby, who that is?
Don't worry about who that is, it ain't you
You got somebody else over there?
Don't worry about it, Keith. If you was over here taking care of business, you wouldn't have to
Ask me no questions like that
Oh girl, please
Oh girl, please, my ass! Who that is over there?
Are you mocking me now?
Uh, boy, ain't nobody gotta mock you
Yeah, you mocking me! You get your little record deal and shit and think you all that
Uh, bye Keith
Nivea! Hello?
[Verse 1: Nivea & R. Kelly]
You's a lying, cheating, son of a...
The way you do me, boy, I'm tired of taking your shit
See, I know all about those fast hoes up in college
Shawty need to stop it
Hello?
Yeah
Baby, why you trippin' on shit you don't know about?
Believin' every goddamn thing that you hear about
But it's nothin' that I heard
Wait a minute, just hear me out
You don't even know about my doings and whereabouts
See, you're wrong there, I busted you coming out some girl's house
And what's that 'posed to mean?
Nothin' 'til you kissed her in her mouth
Boy, let's stop wasting time
It's pretty clear that you's a lie
Tired of sitting around hearing all your phony alibis
[Chorus: Nivea & R. Kelly, Nivea solo]
Soap, powder, bleach, towels
Fabric softener, dollars, change
Pants, socks, dirty drawers
I'm headed to the laundromat
And let's not forget the food stains, dirt spots
Head sets, chips, pop
Pay phones, clean house
Boy, I'm headed to the laundromat, yeah
[Verse 2: Nivea & R. Kelly]
So, baby, what you saying?
Baby, read between the lines
Do I have to spell it out to you? I'm saying goodbye
Oh girl, quit playing, I'm the only thing you got
You're the only thing I got?
Well then I must not have a lot
Girl, you can't be serious; in fact, I think you're gaming
Look, just call my manager and he will make the arrangements
So you really gon' go through with this?
Hell yes 'cause I'm fed up with this
Girl, how you just gon' leave like this?
Because you weren't true to this
[Chorus: Nivea & R. Kelly, Nivea solo]
Soap, powder, bleach, towels
Fabric softener, dollars, change
Pants, socks, dirty drawers
Oh, I'm goin' to the laundromat
And let's not forget the food stains, dirt spots
Head sets, chips, pop
Pay phones, clean house
Boy, I'm goin' to the laundromat, yeah
[Bridge: Nivea & R. Kelly]
Hello?
Baby, can we talk about it?
What is there to talk about?
You done hurt me time again, brought me up and break me down
Well, baby girl, I'm sorry
Well, sorry's not gon' do it
I'm for real this time, boy, I'm through
Girl, I'm 'bout to lose it
No, wait, now I suggest you don't go tryin' nothin' stupid
Oh baby, I just don't know what I would do if i was to lose you
Hello? Are you there?
Goodbye!
