In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless (heartless)
How could you be so heartless? (Heartless)
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
How could you be so cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo?
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Ayo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Ayo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely
In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless (heartless)
How could you be so heartless? (Heartless)
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Dr.Evil?
You bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why we up three A.M. On the phone?
Why do she be so mad at me for?
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, I won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me (hey)
They say that they don't see what you see in me (hey)
You wait a couple months then you gon' see (hey)
You'll never find nobody better than me
In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless (heartless)
How could you be so heartless? (Heartless)
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby, let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night
In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless (heartless)
How could you be so heartless? (Heartless)
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
On and on and on and on and on and
And on and on and on, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, whoa, oh

way better than love lockdown
Now if we're supposed to take this literally and Kanye's writing about his life right now, it looks like between this and Love Lockdown that his breakup with Alexis really fucked him up.
i'm liking the new direction he's taking. good song, better than love lockdown.
This song is significantly better than love lockdown
I KNOW FOR A FACT ALEXIS IS CHEATING ON KANYE. THEY BEGAN DATING AGAIN AND SHE SLEEPS AROUND ON HIM. SHE IS H-E-A-R-T-L-E-S-S
This song is awesome. I like Love Lockdown, but this is much better. I can't stop listening to it.
Cause I already know how this thing goes You run and tell your friends that you leavin me they say that they don't see what you see in me Wait a couple months then you gon see you won't find nobody better than me
reminds me of my ex, he dumped me for someone else, then a few months later came running back with his tail between his legs (metaphorically of course) cause he decided he still needed me :P
I really love this song. This just totally describes the sentiments you have when you're over.. but everyone sort of knows it's not really over.. even if you are mortal enemies.
this is amazing, I think he is so innovative and creative, mad respect
i actually like this song, but lockdown is terrible and boring. anyway, i really hope the whole album isnt like this song, but i have heard that it is similar in style to lockdown and heartless. more rap less singing imo.
