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 have warned me but that would have been too kind

I've been warning you for months to clean up your act

You've been late, you've been mean, giving all kinds of bullshit flack

That's a lie, that's a lie, it's just I haven't been feelin' that well

Effie, please, stop excusing yourself

You've been late, you've been mean and getting fatter all the time

Now you're lying, you're lying, I've never been so thin

You're lying, you're lying, 'cause you're knocking off that piece

Who thinks she's better than everybody

She ain't better than anybody

She ain't nothing but common

Now who you callin' common? you're self indulgent

Self absorbed and unprofessional

You, I'm calling you, I'm calling you

The common piece that's knocking off

Now you listen to me, miss, 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 screaming too

Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?

Stay outta this, Lorelle, this is between Deena and me

Yeah, well it's between me too

I am as much a part of this group as anybody else

And I'm tired, Effie, I'm tired

Of all the problems you're making up

I always knew you two were together

What?

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

You're getting 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 ya done

So they got your black ass too, huh?

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

Oh, I can go further, I can go further

I don't wanna stay around this

I'm just breaking into this business

This is between all of you

This is none of my affair

Yeah, well it's between you too now little sister

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, miss Effie White

'Cause I don't take that talk from no second rate diva

Who can't sustain

I'm not feeling well I've got pains

Effie, we all got pains

Oh, for seven years I sung with you

I was your sister

You were 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
