[Intro]
[clean electric guitar playing syncopated jazz chords, melodic electric bass enters with a slide]
(Mmm-hmm)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
[tenor male vocals]
It's nice to see you showed up again
Yes it's, yes it's 2:00 AM
This is when the excuses begin
Women don't always believe what you tell us
'Cause next week we'll find ourselves right back here again
You said you simply explored
You weren't looking for more
So why were you so under cover?

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies enter]
I've seen deep behind your devious smile
I won't take any blame for your lies
I gave too deep from inside
Though it appeared I was blind
[falsetto] You're not sleeping with me tonight
The price you'll pay for your serious lies
In fact you're gonna pack your bags tonight
Everything you've done to me
Has come back on you, has come back on you

[Verse 2]
[bass continues with melodic fills]
A love as strong, a little glory
The kind my friends idolize
I'm not acting unreal
Or ungrateful
Being rid of you means no more, no more tears in my eyes
You've been sneaking around
So I must give you up
Let's see how far I can go
What I thought was only mine
Seems every other woman's delight
Now simply seeing your face is making me mad
So let's go

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies, high tenor ad-libs]
You're not sleeping with me tonight
The price you'll pay for your serious lies
In fact you're gonna pack your bags tonight
Everything you've done to me
Has come back on you, has come back on you

[Bridge]
[vocal ad-libs over guitar and bass groove]
(Hey, hey)

[Outro]
[falsetto ad-libs]
You've been sneaking around
So I must give you up
Let's see how far I can go
What I thought was only mine
Seems every other woman's delight
Now simply seeing your face is making me mad
So let's go
You're not sleeping with me tonight
The price you'll pay for your serious lies
In fact you're gonna pack your bags tonight
Everything you've done to me
Has come back on you, has come back on you
That's why you're not sleeping with me tonight
The price you'll pay for your serious lies
You're packing your bags tonight
Everything you've done to me
Is gonna roll back on you
(You, you, you)
What I thought was only mine
Was every other woman's delight
(Bye-bye, bye-bye)
