[Verse 1: Whitney Houston]
You said you'd be here by nine
Instead, you took your time
You didn't think to call me, boy
Here I sit, trying not to cry
Asking myself why you do this to me, mmm, now, baby

[Pre-Chorus: Faith Evans]
Since you're not around for me
To tell you, baby, face to face
I'm writing you this letter
And this is what I have to say

[Chorus: Whitney Houston, Faith Evans & Kelly Price, Faith, Whitney]
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What'd you do to me? (What'd you do?)
Look what you did to me (Ah baby)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right (Do me right)
Until you played with my emotions and you madе me cry (Made me cry)
What'd you do to mе?
Can't take what you did to me

[Verse 2: Whitney Houston]
Now I see, that you've been doing wrong
Played me all along and made a fool of me, baby, ah
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
That you were cheating on me, baby
How could you do it to me?
[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Price]
Since you're not around for me
To tell you, baby, face to face
I'm writing you this letter
And this is what I have to say, oh

[Chorus: Whitney Houston, Faith Evans & Kelly Price, Kelly, Whitney]
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
(All you did was lie to me, baby)
What'd you do to me? Look what you did to me
(Can't believe what you did to me)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What'd you do to me? (Why'd you do it?)
Can't take what you did to me
(You didn't have to do it to me, baby)

[Bridge: Whitney Houston]
Heartbreak Hotel
This is the Heartbreak Hotel
This is the Heartbreak Hotel
This is the Heartbreak Hotel
Ooh now, this is the Heartbreak
Welcome to the Heartbreak
This is the Heartbreak Hotel
Why, why'd you do it?
This is the Heartbreak Hotel
[Chorus: Whitney Houston, Faith Evans & Kelly Price, Whitney, Faith, +Kelly+]
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What'd you do to me?
(All I really wanted)
Look what you did to me
(It's all I really wanted, baby)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
(Can't take it no more)
What'd you do to me?
Can't take what you did to me
(+I wanted your love+)
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What'd you do to me? (Can't take it no more)
Look what you did to me (+Why did you do me that way?+)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What'd you do to me?
Can't take what you did to me

[Outro: Whitney Houston, Faith Evans, Kelly Price]
I ain't gon' take it
I ain't gon' take it no more
I ain't gon' take it, boy
I ain't gon' take it no more
Oh, everything that you said was a lie
