It's All Right
Keith Hudson Lyrics

Effie, Curtis was supposed to
Effie, Curtis was supposed to

Love me
Love me

There you are Effie, I've been looking all over
Effie, I've been searching for you everywhere

I turn my back and find myself out on the line
I feel abandoned and left alone

You could have warned me, but that would have been too kind
You should have given me a heads up, but you chose not to

I've been warning you for months to clean up your act
I've been advising you for months to improve your behavior

You've been late, you've been mean
You've been consistently tardy and unkind

Givin' all kinds of bullshit flack
Causing unnecessary drama and conflict

That's a lie, that's a lie
That's not true, that's not true

It's just I haven't been feeling that well
I haven't been feeling physically well

Effie, please
Effie, I beg you

Stop excusing yourself
Stop making excuses for your actions

You've been late, you've been mean and getting fatter all the time
You've been consistently late, mean, and steadily gaining weight

Now you lying, you lying
Now you're lying, you're lying

I never been so thin
I've never been so thin

You lying, lying
You're lying, lying

'Cause you're knocking off that piece who thinks she's better than everybody
Because you're having an affair with someone who believes she's superior to everyone else

She ain't better than anybody, she ain't nothing but common
She's not superior to anyone, she's just ordinary

Now who you callin' common?
Who are you referring to as ordinary?

You self-indulgent, self-absorbed and unprofessional
You're excessively focused on yourself and lacking professionalism

You
You

I'm calling you, I'm calling you, the common piece is knocking off
I'm talking about you, the ordinary person you're having an affair with

Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-On-The-World
Now pay attention to me, Miss Always Blaming Others

See, I put up with you for much too long
I tolerated you for far too long

I have put up with your bitching
I have endured your constant complaining

I've put up with your nagging, and all your screaming too
I have endured your persistent complaining, as well as your loud outbursts

Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?
When will you two finally end this constant arguing?

Stay outta this Lorelle, this is between Deena and me
Don't get involved, Lorelle, this issue is between Deena and me

Yeah, well it's between me too
Well, it involves me as well

I'm as much a part of this group as anybody else
I'm equally a member of this group, just like everyone else

And I'm tired, Effie, I'm tired
And I'm exhausted, Effie, I'm exhausted

Of all the problems you're making up
Of all the issues you're fabricating

I always knew you two were together
I always suspected that the two of you were involved

What?
What?

Always knew you two were ganging up on me
I always knew the two of you were conspiring against me

She had nothing to do with this change
She had no influence over this transformation

It was you
It was you

It was you always thinking of you
It was always you, constantly thinking about yourself

Always thinking of you
Always thinking about yourself

I knew you were trouble from the start
I knew you were causing problems from the beginning

Trouble?
Trouble?

You were real bad trouble from the start
You were significant trouble right from the beginning

Curtis, I'm your woman
Curtis, I'm your partner

But you're getting out now
But now you're leaving

I'm not building this group to have you tear it apart
I didn't create this group for you to destroy it

Go ahead and rant and scream and shout
Go ahead and express your anger and frustration

Don't worry, baby, I'll buy you out
Don't worry, baby, I'll pay you off

There's no money dirty enough to buy me out
There's no amount of money that can make me leave

You remember that, Curtis
Remember that, Curtis

Lay off Effie
Leave Effie alone

Just take the money and run
Just take the money and leave quickly

You in this with them, CC?
Are you involved in this too, CC?

Cool it Effie
Calm down, Effie

This time you know what you've done
This time you're aware of the consequences of your actions

So they've got your black ass too, huh?
So they've caught you as well, huh?

I said, cool it Effie
I told you, calm down Effie

This time you've gone too far
This time you've crossed a line

Oh, I can go further, I can go further
Oh, I can go even further, I can go even further

I don't wanna stay around this
I don't want to be a part of this anymore

I'm just breaking into this business
I'm just starting out in this industry

This is between all of you
This is a matter for all of you

This is none of my affair
This doesn't concern me

Yeah? Well, it's between you too now, little sister
So, well, now it involves you too, little sister

This small job is just as much your sin
This minor task is equally your fault

Look at me, look at me
Pay attention to me, look at me

How much did you put out to get in?
How much did you sacrifice to become a part of this?

Now you watch your mouth, watch your mouth, Ms Effie White
Now be careful with your words, Ms. Effie White

'Cause I don't take that talk from no second-rate diva
Because I won't tolerate such talk from a mediocre diva

Who can't sustain
Who can't maintain

I'm not feeling well, I've got pains
I don't feel well, I'm experiencing pain

Effie, we all got pains
Effie, we all experience pain

Oh, for seven years I sung with you, I was your sister
Oh, for seven years I sang with you, I was like your sister

You were a trouble
You were a problem

And now you're telling me, it's all over?
And now you're telling me it's finished?

And now we're telling you, it's all over
And now we're informing you that it's finished

And now I'm telling you, I ain't going
And now I'm telling you, I'm not leaving

It's all over
It's finished

I ain't going
I'm not leaving

It's all over
It's finished
