   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.
