Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Effie, Curtis was supposed to
Love me, Curtis was supposed to love me
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
