Was It Something I Said

(spoken):
Child, have you heard the latest?
Uh-oh, what's goin' on now?
About Sylvester breakin' up?
Uh-uh. He done broke up with umm...?
Girl, it's a mess!
Uh-oh, you gotta tell me 'bout this one!
Honey, he'll tell you better than I can!
Sylvester, tell me 'bout this please, honey

Girl, I'm in the dark just like you
I really don't know what happened...
I got this letter
And I ran to the telephone
Picked it up and dialed the number
And disconnected with no referral

(sung):
Was it something that I said (was it somethin' that i said)
Was it something that you heard (was it somethin' that you heard)
Why you treatin' me so bad (why you treat me so bad)
I was the best man that you had
Mm, mm, mm

(spoken):
Child, I was so through
I went trackin' down the number
Called the information couldn't get nothin'
And like I said girl, I don't know what's goin' on
'Cause like I said I thought I had my thing together

(sung):
Was it something that I said (was it somethin' that i said)
Was it something that you heard (was it somethin' that you heard)
Why are you treatin' me so bad (why are you treatin' me so bad)
I was the best man that you had
Mm, mm, mm

(spoken):
Now, I think I deserve at least a two-weeks notice
After all the things we did
And all the good times we had
I mean, I just can't throw them away like that with no explanation
And if you won't give me no answer
I'll ask you this one more time

(sung):
Was it something that I said (was it somethin' that I said)
Was it something that you heard (was it somethin' that you heard)
Why you treatin' me so bad (why are you treatin' me so bad)
I was the best thing that you had
Mm, mm, mm

(spoken):
Now, I want you to think about what I just said...
While the music just moves and grooves

[Instrumental Breakdown]

(sung):
'Cause I love ya
And I need
Need you baby
Yes, I do
I love you, ooh
And I need you
Ooh, ooh baby
Why'd you do it to me (baby)
Why'd you do it to me (baby)
Ooh, wee baby
Oh, I love you
And I still need you (baby)
Mmm (baby)
(my sweet baby)
(baby)
My sweet (baby)
Come on home, baby
Oh, I love ya
I need ya
Need ya
Need ya
Need ya
(ooh, ooh, baby, baby)
