[LL Cool J]
We need to have a conversation
I made you, why would I play you?
Trade home, base four, California angel
Swinging a fast b****, foul out, betray you
When I won't even wanna hit it in a day or two.
Straight home I'd run, well, that's debatable
I can't front, I hit a slump all players do
But tough times are minor to a major dude
We all lose sometimes, I call it paying dues.
Now you're searching all the club for what's available
A year ago, my slot was unassailable.
My feast is a famine without you to cater to
If these walls could talk, what would they say to you?
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
Don't understand what we're gonna do
But it's like you don't know me,
And I don't know you, no more,
Not no more!
And it's like d***, how the hell we get here?
No idea, but we're not what we were before
Could it be that I don't love you, and you don't love me no more?
That girl don't live here no more!
Baby, baby,
hey,hey,hey, that girl no more!
[LL Cool J]
The dining room has an empty chair
The mirrored staircase has an empty stair
House full of company, but no one's here
We singing cheers while we holding back tears
To keep up appearances in front of our peers
We play holiday card tricks every year
Blackjack, poker, make the joker disappear
The ace can't breathe when it's tension in the air
Three clubs in one night, but nobody cares
Cause it's still not a full house without a pair
You tipped your hand, but the text wasn't clear
You're dealing from the bottom queen of hearts, play fair!
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
Don't understand what we're gonna do
But is like you don't know me,
And I don't know you, no more,
Not no more!
And it's like d***, how the hell we get here?
No idea, but we're not what we were before
Could it be that I don't love you, and you don't love me no more?
That girl don't live here not no more!
Baby, baby,
Hey, hey, hey, that girl no more!
[LL Cool J]
Slip in the door, you hold my hopes so
All I hear is love don't live here anymore!
We can tear the house down or build some scaffold
We're sitting on a fence, so where you wanna go?
You're the architect of your life, it's your show
You create the blue print and how the rooms flow
Before you burn the house down, think, take it slow
Even arsonists needs shelter, let me know
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
Don't understand what we're gonna do
But is like you don't know me,
And I don't know you, no more,
Not no more!
And it's like d***, how the hell we get here?
No idea, but we're not what we were before
Could it be that I don't love you, and you don't love me no more?
That girl don't live here not no more!
Baby, baby,
