Tell Her It’s Over

King Sterling, Millie Jackson

[Intro]
Okay, I'm sorry
I apologise
I know I shouldn't come down on you that hard
But you make me sick with that bull
Yeah, I know you love me, and I love you too
But we just can't seem to get this thing together
Now I'm willin' to try it if you are
But we gotta do it right this time

[Chorus]
You've gotta tell her it's over (Tell her, tell her)
You decided to come back to your family (Tell her, tell her)
Go tell her to pack up all your clothes (Tell her, tell her)
'Cause that love affair can no longer be (Tell her, tell her)

[Verse 1]
Tell her we done talked it over
I gave you back your key
Tell her it's all over
You're comin' back home to me

[Chorus]
Oh, go on and tell her it's over (Tell her, tell her it's over)
You can ask her to forgive you, 'cause I know you don't wanna make her feel bad (Tell her, tell her it's over)
But I can't see no reason (Tell her, tell her)
I should give her the best thing I ever had (Tell her)

[Verse 2]
And baby, you are the best thing
That ever happened to me
You left my heart all locked up
And no-one has found the key

[Chorus]
(Tell her it's over, tell her it's over) Tell her she made you feel good
(Tell her it's over, tell her it's over) But oh, I made you feel much better
(Tell her it's over, tell her it's over) Lie to her, tell her I'm having you arrested, heh
(Tell her it's over, tell her it's over) What the hell, tell her the courts done sent you the letter

[Verse 3]
Tell her anything you want to
As long as you make it plain
It's positively all over
She got to give up my man

[Chorus]
Lawd, lawd, it's got to be all over (Tell her, tell her)
Go on and get your clothes, baby (Tell her, tell her)
I'm gonna be waitin' on her (Tell her, tell her)
I ain't goin' nowhere (Tell her, tell her)

You see, I just been waitin' on you too long (Tell her, tell her it's over)
I think it's time that you came on back home to me, baby (Tell her, tell her it's over)
I say I'm gonna be waitin' on you, baby (Tell her, tell her it's over)
You see, I got the patience of Job, I don't mind waitin' (Tell her, tell her it's over)

But I'm, I been waitin' too long (Tell her, tell her it's over)
I think you oughta hurry up and come on back to me (Tell her, tell her it's over)
Come on, come on, come on, come on and come on back to me, baby, yeah (Tell her, tell her it's over)
Hurry on (Tell her, tell her it's over)
Run on, run on, run on, run on, run on out the door and (Tell her, tell her it's over)
Get your clothes this evenin' (Tell her, tell her it's over)
