Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't keep listening
To the whispering that's Coming from your friends
I recognize that my past is Bad but let's get past the past when everybody's hatin Can get desecratin
But no hesitation no no
Tell them just get gone
They can neva keep a man
That's why they alone
Baby let it go
I'm just lettin you know
They neva see for themselves
But they always wanna help
That's why they just echo
[CHORUS:]
Listen to them haters
And liars and
What your friends say
Everything that they speakin They just repeatin
And they echo echo echo
They hear them rumors
And they echo echo
But they don't know what They been talkin bout
Say iv been cheatin
Somebody saw me creepin
On the weekend
Oh oh no
Did my confessions
Baby a long time ago
And they echo echo echo
They hear them rumors
And they echo echo echo
Don't listen to them
Cause they echo
I don't care
What they talkin bout
Baby we can work it out
No problem
Anything that you ever wanted
Who got it
Everything you ever needed
I found it
Don't want it that drama
No problem
I'm a just let it go
Cause they don't know
About this here
I understand that your Girlfriends talk
But all they do is talk
As a matter of fact
I remember back
When I met
Tiffany at the mall
She hollard
I never called
Now I know I know
That's your partner
But she want me so she
Echo
[CHORUS]
Your girlfriends lovin

Shes mad cause now I'm with you
But there ain't no use in Listinin cause baby

Tell her she should let
It go cause they only rumors
And they Echo Echo oh oh oh

Hey you know it's foolish When they
Echo echo
Pretty girl you need to know Shes feedin you all them lies
And it really no surprise When they
[CHORUS x2]
