Song Lyrics

Sunshine, come on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
I wanna give you something
(There's something that I wanna give you)
Listen, baby

We hung tough like new kids on the block
I stayed down like Luth stayed jukebox
(There's something that I wanna give you)
And I did everything that you asked me, you lousy so and so
But you took advantage, and now I wanna let you know
(There's something that I wanna give you)
I know it may be hard for you to understand
But these days I don't really think of you as my man
(There's something that I wanna give you)

So do me a favor and get your coat, get yo' hat
Get yo' knapsack
Get ya lazy ass up off of my couch
I want you out
(There's something that I wanna give you)
Cause we had...

[Chorus]
'Cause we had a long run, but now it's ova' (it's ova')
You wasn't believing what I said last night, but I told ya (but I told ya)
(There's something that I wanna give you)
I'm giving it to you, no he-he-hesitations
I'm giving you freedom, boy, to go
I'm outta patience
(There's something that I wanna give you)

Listen to me; you took me back, forth, south, and north
And I put up with that temper of yours, oh, but now
(There's something that I wanna give you)
And I know you won't like it, but I just can't stomach
Tryin' to give you my all and getting nothing from it 'cause I done it
(There's something that I wanna give you)

It was no walk in the park being yo' girl
I would've given anything in the whole world
(There's something that I wanna give you)
And one more thing: you were only so-so in bed
I had to fake it more times than I can count on both of my hands
(There's something that I wanna give you)
'Cause we had...

[Chorus]

(Boy, you had it made)
You had it made
You could've stayed
(You really could've, but you had to change
The way you treat me
You couldn't do what it takes to please me)
It's not a game (no, it's not a game)
Now it's too late
(Yes, it is
'Cause it took you way too long to get yo' mind right
Now I want you out of my life)

[Chorus]

To all my ladies
Yeah!
If you feel me, let him go
