[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
And somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?

[Verse 1]
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo?
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
Need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
I mean, after all the things that we been through
I mean, after all the things we got into
Ayo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
I know 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

[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
And somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
[Verse 2]
How could you be so Dr. Evil?
You're bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gon' speak and so
Why we up 3 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, won't mess my groove up
‘Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
Wait a couple of months, then you gonna see
You'll never find nobody better than me

[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
And somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?

[Bridge]
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 about me and you
I got somethin' new to see
You just gon' keep hatin' me
We just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
So I'm gon' make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night...
[Chorus]
I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
Mmm, how could you be so heartless?
