It's All Over

Effie, 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, givin' all kind of bullshit flat

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 tongue who thinks she's 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 nagging', and all your screamin' too!

Oooh, now when are you two going to stop all this fighting?!

Stay out of this Lorrell, this is between Dieana and me

Yeah! 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' up

I always knew you two were 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

Curtis, I'm your woman!

But you're gettin out now, I'm not building this group to have you tear it apart, go ahead and 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 and run

You in this with them CC?!

Cool it, Effie, this time you know what you've done

So they got your black ass too, huh?

I said, cool it, Effie
This time you've gone too far

Well, I can go further. I can go further!

I don't wanna stay around this, I'm just breakin' in to this business
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. Effie White
Cause I don't take that tone from no second-rate diva, who can't sustain

I'm not feelin' well, I've got pain

Effie, we've all got pain

For seven years I sung with you, I was your sister

You were our 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...
