Janet Jackson and Kathleen Battle - This Time

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

After all I've done for you

This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, I must get away
This time, you've gone too far (yeah, yeah)
This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, you've got to pay
This time, you've gone too far

You runnin 'round with those nasty hoes
How long did you think I could take this?
He says to me, "that's the way life goes"
How long did you think I could take this?

I should have known
Oh, you weren't for real
But my love for you kept on strong
You better know you're gonna miss my love
And now you know that I'm not still holdin' on
That's right, all of my friends say

This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, I must get away
This time, you've gone too far (yeah, yeah)
This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, you've got to pay
This time, you've gone too far

You've played the game
But you played yourself
Oh boy, take a look at who's sorry now
You're not the same
Oh, how you have changed
So now look at you, it's a damn shame

I don't care if I never ever see your face again
You broke my heart one too many times, oh
You think that I'm, I'm just not that strong
My bags are packed, watch me walk right through that door

This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, I must get away
This time, you've gone too far (really gone too far)
This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, you've got to pay (you have got to pay)
This time, you've gone too far

Walkin 'round with nasty hoes
Tellin' me that's the way life goes
No, baby you've gone way too far
Said to me that I'm not that strong
Watch me walk right through that door
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, I must get away
This time, you've gone too far (really gone too far)
This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, you've got to pay
This time, you've gone too far

This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, I must get away
This time, you've gone too far (really gone, really gone too far)
This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, you've got to pay
This time, you've gone too far

Ah, gone too far
Ah, gone too far
Ah, gone too, ah, gone too, ah, gone too far

This time, I'm not gonna stay
This time, I must get away
This time, you've gone too far (ah, gone too far)
This time, I'm not gonna stay (ah, gone too far)
This time, you've got to pay (ah, gone too far)
This time, you've gone too far
(Ah, gone too, ah, gone too, ah, gone too far)

You're dismissed
