Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whoa, it's over, ah, it's all over, baby
Said, it's over, ooh, it's all over, baby
I gotta get away from you as fast as I can
Oh, you're too much for me, woman
More than my heart can stand
Like a kid behind the wheel
You've been reckless with my heart
Oh, if I stay around, you'd surely tear it all apart
[Verse 2]
Said, the road has got to end somewhere
Honey, honey, every road has got to end somewhere
Now is the time for the showdown, so, let me give you the lowdown
Girl, we've come to the end of our road
[Verse 3]
Oh, woman, I'm just thinkin' 'bout all the times
You promised to call, I sat home lonely
You only did it 'cause you knew I loved you only
Runnin', runnin' around with every guy in town
I'm tellin' you, woman, no longer will I be your clown
[Verse 4]
Said, the road has got to end somewhere
Oh, every road's got to end somewhere
Woman, I'm tired of your stuff, said enough is enough
We've come to the end of our road
I can't take it no more, oh
[Verse 5]
Woo
Woo, ooh-ooh
[Verse 6]
Woman, there's no sense in your beggin' and pleadin'
Talkin' 'bout I'm the one you're leavin'
Said, I done had my fill of you (Had my fill of you)
Oh, flirtin's so through the years, I done sho' nuff run out of tears
Tellin' ya, I couldn't cry if I wanted to (If I wanted to)
[Verse 7]
Oh, the road's got to end somewhere
Woman, woman, every road has got to end somewhere
Time again, I begged you to slow down, so I'm givin' you the lowdown
We've come to the end of our road, road, road
[Verse 8]
Oh, my-my-my
Bye-bye-bye, baby
Hon, it's all over
I, I-I can't take it no more
Packin' up my clothes, walkin' out the door
I don't wanna see you no more
