P.Y.T. was a Florida-based girl group in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Unlike many pop groups, PYT.'s formation was not the result of scouting by a talent agency or a series of auditions. Instead, these Tampa teenagers. Lauren Mayhew , Ashley Niven, Lydia Bell, Tracy Williams had all been childhood friends. They had previously performed together in the Tampa Entertainment Revue (through Busch Gardens) and were signed to Epic Records in 1998. The members of PYT derived their group's name from a Michael Jackson song entitled "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," though on some occasions the girls used the acronym "PYT." to stand for the slogan "Prove Yourself True," based on their song, "Prove Yourself". Among the members of the group, Tracy Williams was the alto and sung lower harmonies, Lauren Mayhew and Ashley Niven were mezzo-sopranos and sung the melody line, and Lydia Bell was the soprano who sung higher harmonies. Ashley Niven was the lead vocalist on the tracks on the album PYT (Down With Me). The group is best known for their singles: "Something More Beautiful", "Same Ol Same Ol" and "PYT (Down With Me)". They were also featured on the soundtracks to the films 'Bring It On' and 'Center Stage', and appeared in label-mate Mandy Moore's music video for "Candy".
The group's debut album, "PYT (Down With Me)", was released in August of 2001, and the band disbanded shortly after. Bell & Mayhew attempted to form a new band, Turning Pointe, that ended fairly quickly. Williams had a bit more success, forming her own R&B based trio, UC3.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First time you said that you were leaving
I cried 'cause you said you didn't need me
But the second that I started seeing somebody else
It's when ya had to come back to me
(Gone) continued movin now I'm better
I moved on
To someone who would treat me better
And you won't let be me boy
[Chorus:]
Why you gonna call me on my phone?
Every time you see another boy at my door
Oh boy you should've thought of that before
And now you want to come home
And you're alone
It's the same ol' same ol' sad scenario
Every time you say you want to be so low
Oh boy you should've never let me go
But you've done it before
And now I know its the same ol' same ol'
Ooohhhh
You thought that you could keep on dreaming
This too you think that I won't keep on moving
I admit it for a minute
You was having your way
What can I say?
I wasn't over you (oh no)
Things change You and me
Best forget it(no no babe)
No more playing i admit it
Don't you get it boy
You take it back tryin to say like it was yesterday?
But boy
But you never really ever cared about me
Cause if you ever really cared about me
Then it wouldn't take another man
To make you understand
That you want me (oh)
Cause if you really ever cared about me
You wouldn't ever broken my heart, left me
And now you want to come back and call me up
[Chorus]
I told you (I told you)
I'd leave (you know I told you)
(I told you I would leave you)
Next time (and it's the last time boy)
Boy boy boy you were told lets get it on
It's the same ol' same ol' same ol' same ol'
Boy boy boy you were told let's get it on
It's the same ol' same ol' same ol' same ol'
[Chorus x3]
The lyrics of P.Y.T.'s song "Same Ol Same Ol" revolve around the theme of a former partner trying to come back after a breakup. The singer had moved on and started seeing someone else, but her ex-boyfriend wasn't happy about it and kept calling her. She's frustrated and tired of the same-old-same-old sad scenario, where he keeps breaking her heart and coming back only to leave her again. She warns him that she's not going to take him back, but he doesn't seem to understand. The song shows the strength and independence of the singer, who doesn't fall for his tricks and stands up for herself.
