"Heartless"

In the night I hear 'em talk

The coldest story ever told

Somewhere far along this road

He lost his soul to a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless?

Oh, how could you be so heartless?

How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo

Just remember that you talkin' to me though

You need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo

I mean after all the things that we've been through

I mean after all the things we got into

Ayo, I know of some things that you ain't told me

Ayo, I did some things, but that's the old me

And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me

So you walk around like you don't know me

You got a new friend, well, I got homies

But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk

The coldest story ever told

Somewhere far along this road

He lost his soul to a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless?

Oh, how could you be so heartless?

How could be so Dr. Evil?

You bringin' out a side of me that I don't know

I decided we weren't gon' speak so

Why we up 3:00 a.m. on the phone?

Why do she be so mad at me for?

Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold

I won't stop, won't mess my groove up

'Cause I already know how this thing go

You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me (hey)

They say that they don't see what you see in me (hey)

You wait a couple months then you gon' see (hey)

You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk

The coldest story ever told

Somewhere far along this road

He lost his soul to a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless?

Oh, how could you be so heartless?

Talk and talk and talk and talk

Baby let's just knock it off

They don't know what we been through

They don't know 'bout me and you

So I got something new to see

And you just gon' keep hatin' me

And we just gon' be enemies

I know you can't believe

I could just leave it wrong

And you can't make it right

I'm gon' take off tonight

Into the night

In the night I hear 'em talk

The coldest story ever told

Somewhere far along this road

He lost his soul to a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless?

Oh, how could you be so heartless?
