Let Me Show You The Way (Out) Lyrics
[Intro]
Uhh, yeah, uhh, yeah, check it
[Verse 1]
Didn't I make a good lady
Didn't I have your baby
Maybe I should have known you were crazy
When you was caught playing it shady
Didn't I keep your kids when
You were out smoking and drinking
Why did I treat you like my king
When you were out doing your own thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you what I think about you(you)
Tired and confused(fused)
And I want nothing to do with you
Tell you what you think about me(me)
Think that I'm crazy(zy)
Think that I am dumb and naive
[Chorus]
(Let me show you the way)
Let me break it down
Let me show you how I'ma put you out
Watch me show and prove
Watch me make my moves to get rid of you
You can pack your thangs
You can take this ring
It don't mean a thang
To the front door cause I can't take no more
I can't take no more
(Let me show you the way)
Uhh, yeah, uhh, yeah, check it
[Verse 1]
Didn't I make a good lady
Didn't I have your baby
Maybe I should have known you were crazy
When you was caught playing it shady
Didn't I keep your kids when
You were out smoking and drinking
Why did I treat you like my king
When you were out doing your own thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you what I think about you(you)
Tired and confused(fused)
And I want nothing to do with you
Tell you what you think about me(me)
Think that I'm crazy(zy)
Think that I am dumb and naive
[Chorus]
(Let me show you the way)
Let me break it down
Let me show you how I'ma put you out
Watch me show and prove
Watch me make my moves to get rid of you
You can pack your thangs
You can take this ring
It don't mean a thang
To the front door cause I can't take no more
I can't take no more
(Let me show you the way)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, to the door
(Let me show you the way)
Didn't I show you this good love
Didn't I do it just because
Tell me why you went and did me wrong
I heard you saying you loved her on the phone
But I adored you when, even when you put me through it
Why didn't I listen to my girlfriend(girlfriend)
When they said you were not worth it, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you what I think about you(you)
Tired and confused(fused)
And I want nothing to do with you
Tell you what you think about me(me)
Think that I'm crazy(zy)
Think that I am dumb and naive
[Chorus]
(Let me show you the way)
Let me break it down
Let me show you how I'ma put you out
Watch me show and prove
Watch me make my moves to get rid of you
You can pack your thangs
You can take this ring
It don't mean a thang
To the front door cause I can't take no more
I can't take no more
(Let me show you the way)
Yeah, to the door
(Let me show you the way)
Didn't I show you this good love
Didn't I do it just because
Tell me why you went and did me wrong
I heard you saying you loved her on the phone
But I adored you when, even when you put me through it
Why didn't I listen to my girlfriend(girlfriend)
When they said you were not worth it, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you what I think about you(you)
Tired and confused(fused)
And I want nothing to do with you
Tell you what you think about me(me)
Think that I'm crazy(zy)
