It's All Over

I turn my back and find myself out on the line
You could’ve warned me but that would’ve been too kind
I’ve been warning you since Chicago to clean up your act
You’ve been late, you’ve been mean
Giving all kinds of bullshit 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 lying, you lying
I’ve never been so thin
You lying, you lying
'Cause you knocking off that piece who thinks she’s better than everybody
She ain’t better than anybody
She ain’t nothing but common
Now who you calling common, you self-indulgent
Self-absorbed non-professional?
You! I’m calling you!
I’m calling you the common piece he’s knocking off
Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-on-the-World
See, I’ve put up with you for much too long
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 out of this, Lorell, this is between Deena and me!
Yeah, well, it’s between me too
I’m 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 us
I always knew you two were together
What?!
I always knew you two were ganging up on me!
Hey, now watch your tone
Don’t blame it on Lorell
That’s alright, Jimmy, I can handle--
Now, she had nothing to do with this change
It was you! It was you! Always thinking of you
All you can do is rant and rave
You think a star’s a king
But wake up, baby, a star is a slave
Wake up, baby, a star is a slave
I knew you were trouble from the start
You were real bad trouble from the start
Well, you’re getting out now
I’m not building this group to have you tear it apart
Go ahead, rant and scream and shout!
Don’t worry, baby, I’ll buy you out
There’s no money dirty enough to buy me out!
Lay off, Effie!
Now 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 bought 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 want to stay around this
I’ve seen enough fights in this business
This is between all of you
Now, this is none of my affair
Yeah, well, it’s between you too now, sister
This snow job is 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 got pain
Effie, we all got pain
For seven years, I sung with you
I was your sister
You were our 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
