Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I don't mean none of 'em now
You're acting like a different person
I couldn't pick you out of a crowd
I know 'bout all the things you did
There's nothing left to talk about
Baby, take off your halo (Ooh, ooh)
You ain't nobody's angel now
I can't hear nothing that ya sayin'
And sorry won't change it
Girl, I'm 'bout to put you out
Don't try to apologize
Or try to call my phone no more
Baby, take off your halo
It doesn't even glow no more
There's not gon' be no second chance
Don't try to show up back at my door
Baby, take off your Halo
What kind of fool do you take off for?
Take off your halo (Halo) , halo
Take off your halo (Halo) , halo
Take off your halo (Halo) , halo
Take off your halo (Halo) , halo

You're not gon' talk your way out of this
I know exactly what you're gonna try to say
And I'm not gon' fall for none of your tricks
Go ahead and cry if you want to
Go and tell it to the dude that you were with
The second that I walk away
Baby girl, you don't even exist
So you can keep playin'
I can't hear nothing that you sayin'
And sorry won't change it
Don't try to come at me with none of your sh
Don't try to apologize
Or try to call my phone no more
Baby, take off your halo
It doesn't even glow no more
There's not gon' be no second chance
Don't try to show up back at my door
Baby, take off your Halo

Don't try to come at me with none of your sh
Do not bring any of your deceitful or insincere behavior towards me
Take off your halo (Halo) , halo
