Something's goin' on, it's the middle of the night And my "esp" woke me up I know what's going on girl, you ain't been treating me right And your sweet talking ain't enough I know you're messing with at least two other guys You fooled me a long time but the kid is gettin' wise Don't hug me, don't kiss me, don't "love me down" Excuse me, but you see this love affair is? Over now (You did me bad) Over now It's over now (You treated me so bad) Over now (It's all over baby) I didn't know it when I walked into the house But you were on the telephone That's when I heard you tell him to come over tonight Said you were gonna be alone I heard you mention that I had some place to go You helped me pack my things, but it's you whose got to go You're busted! You must have fooled me for a while But honey, as they say "Hit the road!" It's all? You can go now, keep your voice down There's no need to fuss and shout Use the back door, I don't want no Nosy neighbors to see you checkin' out "Get out!" Bye baby, so long, it's been "oh wow!" If you really loved me I wouldn't say it's?
