Curtis was suppose to love me

There you are Effy, I've been looking all over
I turned my back and found 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 flat
That's a lie, that's a lie, it's just I haven't been feelin' that way

Effy please stop excusing yourself, you've been late, you've been mean
And getting fat all the time
Now you're lyin', you're lyin', I've never been so thin
You're lyin', you're lyin' 'cause you're knockin' off that peaceful thing
She's better than everybody
She ain't better than anybody, she ain't nothing but calm

Now who you're calling calm
You're self indulgence, self absurd and unprofessional
You, I'm callin' you, I'm callin' you the calming piece is knockin' 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 bitching
I've put up with your nagging and all your screaming too

Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting
Stay out of this Durell, this is between Deena and me
Yeah, well it's between me too
I'm as much a part of this group as anybody else
And I'm tired, Effy I'm tired of all the problems your 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 where 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 run 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 Effy, just take the money and go, you in this with them CC
Cool it Effy, this time you know what your doing
So they bought your black ass too
I said cool it Effy, 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 in to 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 Effy 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 pain, Effy we all got pain

Whatever it is I sang with you, I was your sister, you were a 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 going, it's all over, I ain't going, it's all over
