Kanye West - Heartless Lyrics

In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

How could you be so 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 hoe
You need to watch the way you talkin to me hoe
I mean after all the things that we’ve been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Ayo I know there’s some things that you aint told me
Ayo I did some things but that’s the old me

And now you wanna get me back and you gonna show me
So you walk around like you don’t know me
You got a new friend, but I got homies
But in the end, still so lonely

In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so doctor evil?
You bring out a side of me that I don’t know
I decided we weren’t gonna speak so
Why we up 3am on the phone

Why would you 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 goes

You run and tell your friends that you leavin me
They said they don’t see what you see in me
You wait a couple months, then you gonna see
You never find nobody better than me

In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?

Talkin, talkin, talkin, talk
Baby lets just knock it off
They don’t know what we’ve been through
They don’t know bout me and you

So I got something new to see
And you just gonna keep hatin me
And we just gonna be enemies

I know you can’t believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can’t make it right
I’m gonna take off tonight
Into the night

In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?
