Caught Out There
Kelis · The Hits [2008]
Yo, this song, yo, this song is for all the women out there
That have been lied to by their men
And I know y'all been lied to over and over again
This is for y'all, yo
Maybe you didn't break the way you should have broke, yo
But I break
Know what I'm saying, this is how it goes y'all
Psst, damn
Last year, Valentine's day
You would spoil me, you'd say
"Babe, I love you, love you, babe, I swear"
Held you when you were sick
Even...
The whole time I'd think to myself: this isn't fair
What is this I see
You don't come home to me
When you don't come home to me
Can't deal, can't bear
You keep telling me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I found her red coat
And you're caught out there
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
So sick of your games
I'll set your truck to flames
And watch it blow up, blow up, tell me how you gonna see her now
So far from sincere
Fabrications in my ear
Drive me so far up the wall, I come sliding down
What is this I see
You don't come home to me
When you don't come home to me
Can't deal, can't bear
You keep telling me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I hope you're happy
Since you're caught out there
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
She's so raunchy, so vulgar
Not me, why the hell her
Look, she dresses a mess, what do you see
It's not all about cash
Not how much you flash
How I dress is a reflection of me
What is this I see
You don't come home to me
When you don't come home to me
Can't deal, can't bear
You keep telling me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I got something for y'all
Since you're caught out there
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Aah!
I hate you so much right now
That have been lied to by their men
And I know y'all been lied to over and over again
This is for y'all, yo
Maybe you didn't break the way you should have broke, yo
