It's Over Now
Deborah Cox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryin' to forget about
Ordinary thangs
Typical predictable
Baby I knew the end before we started
You had me feelin' like I owe you somethin'
Cause you were there in times when I had nothin'
With the shady things you do
So forgive me
For what I'm bout to say
And what I'm bout to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you
You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you been chasin' every girl in sight
And you been messin' around and lyin' down
It's over now X 2
I ignored my intuition
And passed it off as a suspicion
But you were just so bold
You kept puttin' in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me
So baby please forgive me
For what I'm bout to do
And what I'm bout to say
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love
You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you been chasin' every girl in sight
And you been messin' around and lyin' down
It's over now X 2
When you were down I helped to pick you up
But you didn't appreciate my love
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
Hopin' love could take my place
When all the while what your were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it
You'll regret it
It's really over now
Just turn around
Don't watch me walk along
I ain't down no no no more
You been messin'
You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You bee creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you been chasin' every girl in sight
And you been messin' around and lyin' down
It's over now X 3
Deborah Cox's song "It's Over Now" is an emotional, passionate song about the end of a relationship. The singer has been hurt by her partner's infidelity and lies, and now she is done with the relationship. At the beginning of the song, she reflects on how predictable and ordinary their relationship was and how she knew it would end before it even started. She also acknowledges that her partner was there for her when she had nothing, but now he has thrown it all away with his shady behavior.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more frustrated with her partner's infidelity and lies. She tells him that she knows he hasn't been true to her and that she no longer has any love for him. She has ignored her intuition for too long, but now she can't take it anymore. She tells him that he has been cheating, telling her lies, and chasing every girl in sight. She has had enough, and it's over.
The song ends with the singer telling her partner to turn around and not to watch her walk away. She tells him that she is not down anymore, and she won't put up with his lies and cheating. The emotional depth of Cox's voice and the powerful lyrics convey the pain and heartache that come with the end of a relationship.

I ignored my intuition
I ignored my gut feelings
And passed it off as a suspicion
I disregarded my doubts
But you were just so bold
You were confident and self-assured
You kept puttin' in my face

I can't deny I let you hurt me
I allowed you to hurt me by staying in this relationship
When you were down I helped to pick you up
I supported you during difficult times
But you didn't appreciate my love
You didn't value my love
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
You were always looking for someone else
Hopin' love could take my place
You were hoping to replace me with someone else
When all the while what your were searching for
What you were looking for was in front of you the whole time
Was in front of your face
What you needed was right in front of you
Just forget it
Let's move on
You'll regret it
You will regret losing me
Just turn around
Leave me behind
Don't watch me walk along
Don't try to follow me
I ain't down no no no more
I am not going to let you hurt me anymore
It's over now X 3
Our relationship is over and there is no going back

me lies)' by Big Ang feat Siobhan', has a vid with 10 million views
