It's Over

John Legend · Evolver [2008]

[Hook]

Now What Do You Keep Standing There For

Its Over, Its Overrr [Repeat 2x]



[Verse 1]

(Its Over)

In The Back Of My Mind I Question Why I Keep Calling

I Guess Im Just Used To Getting My Way Im Spoiled

I Dont Wanna Be What You Want Me To Be

So When I Call You're Just Yelling At Me

(I'm Sorry It's My Fault)

Oooh & The Clothes I Brought You Can Still Wear

Did You Store The Cards & Teddy Bears

See There I Go Again Sticking My Nose

(I'm Sorry It's My Fault)



[Chorus]

Now What Do You Keep Standing There For

Its Over, Its Overrr [Repeat 2x]



[Verse 2]

(It's Over)

Girl Talking To Myself In The Mirror Is Strange Enough

So You Gotta Know Sharing This With You Is Painful

You Know We Used To Talk About Our Future

(It Ain't Just All My Fault)(I Know, I Know We Used To Talk About It Babe)

So Say Goodbye To The Way The Leaves Would Fall

The Way We Stand In The Rain & We Would Ball (We Would Cry)

Just Say Goodbye To The Walks & Talks & The Dogs In The Park

(& It Ain't Just All My Fault)



[Chorus]

Now What Do You Keep Standing There For

It's Over, It's Overrr [Repeat 2x]



[Kayne's Verse]

(It's Over)

We Lost A Four Leaf Clover

Dont Ask My Shorty Be Over

News Flash Shorty We Over

We Like Def Jam & Hova

We Like Bobby & Whitney

Except Without The Kiddies

Just Like Pamela Anderson's Career

Except Without The Tittes

We Had Some Good Times Didn't We

I Know I Won't Forget That

But We Had Some Bad Times &

That's Time I Wish I Could Get Back

But I Love You I Can't Let Go

Now I Just I Just Don't Know

You Been Around Me Long Enough

To Know That Now It's Over.



[Chorus]

Now What Do You Keep Standing There For

It's Over, It's Overrr [Repeat 2x]



[Vamp]

(It's Over) It's Nothing We Can Do With It

So You Might As Well Forget It (It's Over)

Like We Never Ever Did It (It's Overrr) [Repeat 4x]
