Effie, Curtis was supposed to love me
Curtis was supposed
To love me
There you are Effie
I've been looking all over
I turn my back and
Find myself out on the line
You could have warned me
But that would have
Been too kind!
I've been warning
You for months
To clean up your act
You've been late
You've been mean
Given all kinds
Of bull s**t flack
That's a lie!
That's a lie!
It's just I haven't
Been feeling that well
Effie, please
Stop excusing yourself
You've been late
You've been mean
And getting fatter all the time
Now you lie, you lie
I never been sothin
You lie, you lie
'Cause your knocking up
That piece who thinks
She's better than everybody
She ain't better than anybody
She ain't nothing but common!
Now who you callin' common
You self-indulgent
Self-absorbed and unprofessional
You!
I'm calling you
I'm calling you
The common piece
Is knocking off!
Now you listen to me
Miss Blame-It-On-The-World
See I put up with you
For much tool ong
I have put up
With your bitching
I've put up with your nagging
And all your screaming too!
Oh now
When are you two
Gonna stop all this fighting?
Stay outta this Lorelle
This is between Deena and me!
Yeah
Well it's between me too!
I am as much a part
Of this group as anybody else!
And I'm tired
Effie I'm tired
Of all the problems
You're making up!
I always knew you two
Were together!
What!
Always knew you two
Were ganging up on me!
She had nothing to do
With this change
It was you!
It was you always
Thinking of you
Always thinking of you!
I knew you were trouble
From the start
Trouble?
You were real bad trouble
From the start!
Curtis, I'm your woman!
You're getting out now
I'm not building this group
To have you tear it apart
Go ahead and rant
And scream ands hout
Don't worry baby
I'll buy you out
There's no money
Dirty enough to buy me out
You remember that, Curtis
Lay off Effie
Just take the money and run
You in this with them, C.C.?
Cool it Effie
This time you know
What you've done!
So they've got your
Black ass too, huh?
I said cool it Effie
This time you've
Gone too far
Oh I can go further
I can go further!
I don't wanna stay around this
I'm just
Breaking into this business
This is between all of you
This is none of my affair
Yeah?
Well it's between
You too now, little sister
This small job
Is just as much your sin
Look at me
Look at me!
How much did you
Put out to get in?
Now you watch your mouth
Watch your mouth
Ms. Effie White
'Cause I don't take
That talk from no
Second-rate diva
Who can't sustain
I'm not feeling well
I've got pains
Effie, we all got pains!
Oh!
Is that alright
Also with you?
I was your sister!
You were trouble
And now you're telling me
It's all over?
And now we're telling you
It's all over
And now I'm telling you
I ain't going!
It's all over
I ain't going!
It's all over
