In the night I hear them 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?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so
cold as the winter wind
when it breeze yo?
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me yo
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain’t told me
And yo I did some things but that’s the old me
And now you wanna get me back
You going to show me
So you walk round like you don’t know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homeys
But in the end it’s still so lonely
In the night I hear them 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?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Dr. Evil
You’re bringing out a side of
me that I don’t know.
I decided we wasn’t gonna speak
so why are up 3 a.m. on the phone,
Why does she be so mad at me for,
homey I don’t know she hot and cold.
I won’t stop and mess my groove up
cause I already know how this thing goes.
You run and tell you’re friends that you’re leaving me,
They say that they don’t see what you see in me,
You wait a couple months then you going to see,
You’ll never find nobody better than me
In the night I hear them 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?
How could you be so heartless?
Talking, talking, talking, talk
Baby lets just knock it off
They don’t know what we been through
They don’t know about me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just going to keep hating me
And we just going to be enemies
I know you can’t believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can’t make it right
I’m going take off tonight
Into the night.
In the night I hear them 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?
How could you be so heartless?
