Come on!
Yeah, yeah!
Well, I tried to tell you so
But I guess you didn't know
As the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow
'Cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart
That I had to come again
And show you that I'd win
(You lied tonight)
All those times I said that I love you
(You lied tonight)
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
(You lied tonight)
Even though you knew I'd die for you
(You lied tonight)
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried
(Return of the Mack) Yeah, girl!
(Return of the Mack) Come on!
(Return of the Mack) Oh, my God!
(You know I like command) Here I am!
(Return of the Mack) Once again!
(Return of the Mack) Pump up the world!
(Return of the Mack) Watch my flow!
(You know I like command) Here I go!
So, I'm back into my game
Running fast forget my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show
'Cause what they did, you know was wrong
And all the nasty things you've done
So, baby, listen carefully
While I sing my comeback soon
(You lied tonight)
She said she'd never turn on me
(You lied tonight)
But you do, but you do!
(You lied tonight)
All these pain you said I've never feel
(You lied tonight)
But I do, but I do, do, do
(Return of the Mack) Hey, girl!
(Return of the Mack) Oh, no!
(Return of the Mack) Don't you know?
(You know I like command) Here I go!
(Return of the Mack) Oh, little girl!
(Return of the Mack) Once my pearl!
(Return of the Mack) Up and down!
(You know I like command) Round and round!
Ahh... c'mon!
Stop putting your big off the big break
(You lied tonight)
She said she'd never turn on me
(You lied tonight)
But you do, but you do!
(You lied tonight)
All these pain you said I've never feel
(You lied tonight)
But I do, but I do, ooh, ooh!
(Return of the Mack) Hey, girl!
(Return of the Mack) Come on!
(Return of the Mack) Oh, my God!
(You know I like command) Here I am!
(Return of the Mack) Once again!
(Return of the Mack) Top of the world!
(Return of the Mack) Watch my flow!
(You know I like command) Here I go!
(Return of the Mack) Hey, girl!
(Return of the Mack) Oh, no!
(Return of the Mack) Don't you know?
(You know I like command) Here I go!
(Return of the Mack) Oh, little girl!
(Return of the Mack) Once my pearl!

Well, I tried to tell you so
I attempted to warn you beforehand
But I guess you didn't know
However, I believe you were unaware
As the saddest story goes
Like a tragic tale
Baby, now I got the flow
Now, my confidence is back
'Cause I knew it from the start
Because I was aware of it from the beginning
Baby, when you broke my heart
When you shattered my heart
That I had to come again
That I had to return
And show you that I'd win
And show you that I could triumph
(You lied tonight)
(You were deceitful tonight)
All those times I said that I love you
Every time I professed my love to you

Running quickly, I forgot my rhythm
Letting all the people know
Informing everyone

All the cruel things you have done
