Curtis was supposed to
LOVE ME
Curtis was SUPPOSED
to love me
There you are Effie
I've been lookin' ALL over
I turn my back and find
myself out on the line
You could've warned me
but that would've
been TOO kind
I've been warning you for
MONTHS to clean up your act
you've been late
you've been mean
given all
kind of bullshit flack
That's a lie
that's a LIE
It's just I haven't been
feeling that well
Effie please
stop excusing yourself
You've been late
You've been mean
and getting fatter all the time
Now you're lyin'
you're lyin'
I've never been so thin
you're lyin' you're lyin'
cause you're knockin' off
that piece of thinks
shes better than everybody
she ain't better than anybody
She ain't nothin'
but COMMON
Now who you're calling common
you're self indulgent
self absorbed and
unprofessional
YOU I'm calling you
I'm calling you
the common piece
he's knockin' off
Now you listen to me Ms
Blame it on the world
see I put up with you
for much too long
I have put up with your bitchin'
I put up with your naggin'
and ALL your screamin' too
now when are you
two going to stop
all this fighting
Stay out of this Lorrell
this is between Deena & me
Well it's between me too
I'm as much a part of
this group as anybody else
And I'm TIRED
Effie I'm TIRED
of all the problems
you're makin' us
I ALWAYS knew you
two worked together
WHAT
I always knew you two were
ganging up on me
She had nothing to
do with this change
it was you
It was YOU always
thinking of you
Always thinking of you
I knew you were trouble
from the start
TROUBLE
You were real bad trouble
from the start
But you're gettin out now
I'm not building this group
to have to tear it apart
go ahead & rant and
scream and shout
Don't worry baby
I'll buy you out
There's no money dirty enough
to buy me out
you remember that Curtis
Lay off Effie
just take the money & run
Cool it Effie
this time you know
what you done
So they got your
black ass too huh
I said cool it Effie
This time you've
gone too far
Boy I can go further
I can GO further
I don't wanna stay
around this
I'm just breakin'
in to this buisness
This is between all of you
This is none of my affair
Yeah well it's between
you too now lil' sista
This new job is
as much your sin
Look at me look at me
How much did YOU
put out to get in
Now you watch your mouth
watch your mouth Ms
Ms Effie White
cause I don't take that
tone from no second rate diva
who can't sustain
I'm not feelin' well I got pain
Effie we all got pain
For seven years
I sung with you
I was your sister
You were a trouble
And now you're telling me
it's all over
And now we're telling you
it's all OVER
And now I'm telling you
I ain't goin
It's all over
I ain't goin
It's all over
