   when you first caught my eye my heart w's fulla wonder
   had shivers down my spine from the spell that i was under
   blood rushed my face - i thought that i go blind
   your moves were full of grace and i wished you would be mine
   so i would wlak up to ya on that special night
   we would laugh and we would giggle and to me it felt so right
   your smile would mesmerize me - kind of hypnotize me
   the only explanation why you could scandalize me
   as the time would fade i had to relaize
   that all your words were lies and i just fantasized
   ya had a woman in me but ya also run around
   not only for me - you made yourself look like a clown
   i gave you all - yea - 'n all you did was take
   i tried to love you but all your love was fake
   so i'm doin' it like the lyte - i gotta leave - i gotta go
   no more deceivin' - you gotta go

   you gimme all that sweet talk - keep callin me your honey
   man, your talk is cheap - you do that just to aks me for sum money
   no cash to pay the bills - go ahead and say i'm stuck up
   but i ain't doin nothing that'll make my rep git fucket up
   toghether on vacation - did a trip to overseas
   first test to our relation - no clue how this would be
   but negative vibration no matter where we was
   you are such a square boy and that was the cause
   my friends were like "common girl, is he the one you with?"
   your whole appearance is a lie and dazz just what it is
   had to put up a show ev'rytime that we was out
   i was so embarrassed - you was tryin to play me out
   one track minded polygamic egomaniac
   git off my back ahd hit the road jack
   no turnin back coz i'm no longer havin it
   go bust a move - you shoulda know it

   coz here's a few mo' things that i would like to mention
   fifty ways to leave your lover - now here's one
   i'm doin it with fun - and get the job done
   i was a fool for love and love's not a thing to waste
   but you was tryin to play me so now i'm off the case
   you was fakin the funk, young punk, don't forget
   young Deenay has always been two steps ahead.
