Talk To the Hand

[Intro – Spoken] Oh, no. Not you again. You brought flowers? Seriously? Hit it!

[Verse 1] A thousand reasons why you let me down, A million excuses going round and round. You say you didn't mean it, swear you'll change, Funny how your promises all sound the same. You talk right over me like I'm not even there, You want somebody listening, but you just don't care. Well, baby, here's a lesson, understand: I'm all out of conversation. Talk to the hand!

[Pre-Chorus] Don't say you're sorry, don't say you care, I've heard that same old record everywhere. You had your shot, but you blew your chance, Now watch me walk away while you don't stand a. chance!

[Chorus] Talk to the hand! It's not that tough! Talk to the hand! The ears heard enough! You had my heart, but you fumbled the plan, Now I'm waving goodbye — TALK TO THE HAND! Talk to the hand! Go make another excuse! Talk to the hand! I'm cutting you loose! You want another chance? Here's where I stand: I'm moving on, baby — TALK TO THE HAND!

[Verse 2] Oh, not the roses! Not again! You think a dozen flowers make you my best friend? You say you're sorry, sorry, sorry once more, I've heard that same old song a million times before! Stop making promises you never keep, I'm tired of counting the lies you sow and reap. You say you'll change, you swear it's true, Funny how the old you always follows through!

[Pre-Chorus] Don't say forever, don't say you'll try, I've heard those words so much they've learned to lie. You had your shot, now take a stand— Actually, forget it. TALK TO THE HAND!

[Chorus] Talk to the hand! It's not that tough! Talk to the hand! The ears heard enough! You had my heart, but you fumbled the plan, Now I'm waving goodbye — TALK TO THE HAND!

[Verse 3] You say, "Remember all the good times we had?" I'm sorry, WHAT good times? Only in your head. You talk about the past like we were living a dream, But your memory and mine don't match the same scene! You say I used to smile, you say we used to laugh, Were you remembering us or some imaginary past? Keep your highlight reel, your one-man wonderland, I'm done starring in your movie. TALK TO THE HAND!

[Break – Spoken, music drops] Seriously? THAT'S what you remember? Wow. Maybe those were good times... IN YOUR HEAD!

[Build – Backing singers] Not another rose! (No, no, no!) Not another promise! (Let it go!) Not another sorry! (Heard it before!) Baby, I ain't listening anymore!

[Final Chorus – Big vocals] Talk to the hand! It's not that tough! Talk to the hand! The ears heard enough! You had my heart, but you fumbled the plan, I'm moving on, baby — TALK TO THE HAND!

[Outro – Call and response] Lead: You brought me roses! Backing: WE SAID NO MORE! Lead: You said you're sorry! Backing: HEARD THAT BEFORE! Lead: You want me back? Backing: NOT A CHANCE! Lead: Keep your flowers— All: AND LEARN TO DANCE!

[Spoken] Keep the roses, honey. I'm keeping the vase. We're DONE!

[Final hit] TALK TO THE HAND!
