[Hook: Kelly Rowland]
Gonna hold your feet to the fire
You've got to answer for what you say
Don't want to be seen as a lie
Lie, girl
You've got to find a better way
Cause I've been through it
Over and...
[Verse 1: Scrooge Kid]
Staring at you in training
Year later maintaining there was a connection remaining
Southern blonde engaged to another gentleman
I'm cooking with cinnamon, wondering what could have been
Saw that James Franco flick with you, wanted to get you
You wanted commitment, I guess that's the issue
Might be spilt relationships but crying's for the tissues
Went to seeking women who were dying for some misuse
What I say is in distaste
Moved back to the East Coast, somehow I'm displaced
Destined for some children with my last name who are mixed race
You told me that I'm great, nothing more that I hate than
Undeserved praise, it hurts when reality sinks in
Would have acted different if I knew what you were thinking
Everyday that pa**es, I feel that feeling shrinking
And it might be time to set you free like Lincoln
[Hook: Kelly Rowland]
Gonna hold your feet to the fire
You've got to answer for what you say
Don't want to be seen as a lie
Lie, girl
You've got to find a better way
Cause I've been through it
Over and...
[Verse 2: Scrooge Kid]
Staring at you at Louie
In your car I showed you that I used to spit, phooey
Sharp sense of humor so I paid you compliments
Southern brunette, except, from another continent
We connected quick and I was confident
Soon I began to doubt that you and I would have accomplishment
Had feelings for a couple women, but I wasn't honest
Went to Europe for a week or so and much to your astonishment
I never called
I couldn't face the fact that I had ruined our potential, with no way to take it back
Ran into you at a Christmas party
Pulled you aside to say I'm sorry
Left thinking that I got away with it
I saw you at a bar and though you weren't even saying it
You kept walking away, looked in your face and saw the pain in it
The damages were done, I suffered every single day with it
[Hook: Kelly Rowland]
Gonna hold your feet to the fire
You've got to answer for what you say
Don't want to be seen as a lie
Lie, girl
You've got to find a better way
Cause I've been through it
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Oh
