[Intro: Avant & Kelly Rowland]

Mm, mm, mmm

Mm, mm, mmm

Mm, mmm

Mm-mm-mmm

Mm, mm, mmm

Mm-mm-mmm

Mm, mm, mmm

Mm, mmmm

[Verse 1: Kelly Rowland & Avant]

I don't care what my mama say

I don't care what my daddy say

I don't care 'bout what the preacher said for us to do

I don't care about it

I don't care what you brother saw

I don't care, it was all your fault

How could you do what you did to me?

You wait 'til I was sleepin', call the damn police

[Chorus: Avant & Kelly Rowland]

Separate (Yeah), what we gotta do

Separate, talkin' 'bout me and you (Talkin' 'bout me and you)

Separate, how it's gotta be

Separate, no more you and me

Separate, what we got to do

Separate (Separate), talkin' 'bout me and you

Separate (Mmm), how it's gotta be

Separate (Mmm), no more you and me

[Verse 2: Kelly Rowland & Avant]

I don't know what you callin' for

So don't you come tryna kick down my door

Everything is mine to keep

Money, car, crib, my kid

Everything

Everything but my boy you can have

And I don't care as long as you don't cross my path

And now I know you never cared at all

For two years you've been my downfall

[Chorus: Avant & Kelly Rowland]

Separate, what we gotta do

Separate, talkin' 'bout me and you (Know who I'm talkin' to)

Separate (You talkin' to me?), how it's gotta be (I'm talkin' to you)

Separate, no more you and me

Separate, what we got to do (Pack your bags and get outta here)

Separate, talkin' 'bout me and you (I gotta go)

Separate (Mmm), how it's gotta be (How it's gotta be)

Separate (Mmm), no more you and me

[Bridge: Avant, Kelly Rowland, and Both]

Listen girl

Never did explain when I saw you in his Benz (Tell me why)

So what about the movie and you said it was your friend?

But listen

In the bathroom, talkin' low on the phone

Well what do you expect when you ain't never at home?

You see I'm workin' all day and hustlin' all night

I'm cookin' and I'm cleanin', all you wanna do is fight

Why me?

Why me?

I think it's bout' time that we both move on

Be gone

[Chorus: Avant & Kelly Rowland]

Separate (Separate), what we gotta do (Oh yeah)

Separate, talkin' 'bout me and you

Separate (Separate), how it's gotta be (How it's gotta be)

Separate, no more you and me (Gotta go)

Separate (Gotta go), what we got to do

Separate, talkin' 'bout me and you

Separate (Separate, mmm), how it's gotta be (I'm gone)

Separate (Mmm), no more you and me (No more you and me)

[Outro: Avant & Kelly Rowland]

Mm, mm, mmm

Mm-mm-mmm

Mm, mm, mmm
