What were you thinking, bringing her into our home?In our bed, you must've fell and bumped your headMessing up my sheets and violating meHad me 'bout to call my peeps and take it to the streetsThere's nothing you can do and there's nothing you can sayThat would persuade me to stay with you another dayYou have crossed a line to the point of no returnWhat you do from here on out, I am no longer concerned See I've heard it all before
You know you messed up, you know you didOh, you say what you wantYour lies ain't working nowLook who's hurting nowI had to shut you downI had to shut you down
Originally released as a soulful remake by Lydia Harrell in 2017 via Reel People Music , the arrived five years later in August 2022.

Down, down, downDown, down, downDown, down, downDown, down, downDown, down, downDown, down, down
Come home late, it seems you barely beat the sunTap my shoulder, thinking you gon' get you someSmelling like some fragrance that I don't even wearAnd if you want some loving, I suggest you go back there(We can try)Day to day with you it's always something elseWorking my nerve, God knows that I don't deserveWhat you put me through 'cause I've been so true to youFor you to come at me with another lame excuse Flowers / Frank Brim / Micah Evan Powell
I had to shut you downPlayed the fool beforeI was your fool, I believed in youYes I did
