[Chorus]



Hey girl, stop it, you know you oughta stop it [x3]

Hey girl, stop it, you know you oughta stop!



[Verse 1]



Ha, so you say you're being true blue

I don't know who you're being true to

It's not me, it must be you

Yourself and nobody else, so put it on a shelf

Those words that you're sayin'

I know all about the games that you're playin'

But just in case you don't think I do

Allow me to run it down to you

After I'm through I'll disappear

The buck stops here, dear...



[Repeat chorus]



[Verse 2]



You have a man on the side, tryin' to provide

For three little children and a sickly wife

He went to the disco on a Friday night

You laid out the bait, he started to bite

He called you honey, he gave you money

You laughed in his face, you thought he was funny

Funny lyin' to make alibis

On why he wasn't by his wife's side

You have gold chains, furs and things

You cursed when he wouldn't give you diamond rings

What made it all come to an end

He said he'd leave his wife and children

That wouldn't do for a freak like you

So you told him to pursue somebody new

He found they'd gone, he's all alone

And he's callin' you on the telephone

So you told him, "Be cool, disappear

The buck stops here, dear..."



[Repeat chorus]



[Verse 3]



You head uptown, the man you see

He makes his living in the streets

He's living fast, but you live faster

Making him think that he's your master

His money is spent paying your rent

So you deal with his arrogance

He doesn't really know your residence

So you lived the life of elegance

Then when it's discovered you a lover to his brother

When brother to brother, they talk to one another

You go undercover, cos he found out

Exactly what you're all about

The only way to bring it to an end

You go to the police, you turn him in

Now he's in prison, all alone

And he's callin' you on the telephone

So you told him, "Be cool, you got five years

The buck stops here, dear..."



[Repeat chorus]



[Verse 4]



Upstate you fake high society

Just trying to be a corporate lady

Meetin' with the rich, talk politics

But they don't know you're just a slick chick

Usin' your charm, silk on your arm

The social elite will all compete to beat

You're livin' the life of luxury

Smilin' all the while over cups of tea

The smile you use will abuse

Any man you choose is sure to lose

They're left behind while you go far

Eating caviar, drivin' a Jaguar

It came to an end, good things don't last

The women told the men about your past

So you packed your bags, when you get home

They're callin' you on the telephone

But the ladies make sure you can't go back there

They said, "The buck stops here, dear..."



[Repeat chorus]



[Verse 5]



There are countless others, silly lovers

When you count them, count me out

Don't talk sweet lies, shut your mouth

Cos I know what you're all about

I'll tell you something, you're all about nothing

Just a pretty girl thinkin' she's a star

Give me the keys to your car

I always wanted to drive a Jaguar

Hey baby, I go crazy over gold chains

My pockets are dry and I need some money

Don't even laugh, there's nothin' funny

Whenever you speak just call me honey

All your old ways will have to end

I make the rules, and the rules don't bend

The first rule, baby, you will adore

Tell all your friends, "Don't call no more"

It's a cryin' sin, don't shed no tear

The buck stops, you know the buck stops

The buck stops, everybody rocks

And the buck stops here dear
