--words and music by Michael Stanley/Buzz Goodwin

from "Eighteen Down", 2000, Razor & Tie Entertainment



Ooh, the word is you're leaving
  The word is you're gone
Word is we're over and you're moving on
  And the more I hear about it
I rest my case...
  They say you've got your reasons
And all I got are rhymes
  Don't you know I heard it
'Bout a hundred thousand times
  And the more I think about it
I rest my case...

		Everybody choosin' up their sides tonight
		Everybody sure who's wrong or right, yeah
		You can say what you want now
		To put me in my place
		But I swear that I ain't talkin'
		 till we go face to face, yeah
		Darlin' till I hear it from you
		I rest my case...

Everybody wonderin' what I'm gonna do
  Think I'll hang around here
Just wait till you're through
  Yeah the more I think about it
I rest my case...
  And I hear you're telling everyone
You can't buy a thrill
  Why don't you just step this up and go for the kill
Yeah the more I hear about it
  I rest my case...

		Everybody choosin' up their sides tonight
		Everybody sure who's wrong or right, yeah
		So you say what you want now
		To put me in my place
		But I swear that I ain't talkin'
		 till we go face to face, yeah
		Darlin' till I hear it from you
		I rest my case...

	You can throw yourself on public opinion
	  Hope somebody gonna hear your appeal
	If you're waiting for me to get down on my knees
	  Darlin' I ain't cutting that deal...yeah

		Ooh, ooh I rest my case...
		Ooh, ooh I rest my case...

		Everybody choosin' up their sides tonight
		Everybody sure who's wrong or right, yeah
		So you say what you want now
		To put me in my place
		But I swear that I ain't talkin'
		 till we go face to face, yeah
		Darlin' till I hear it from you
		I rest my case...

		Darlin' till I hear it from you
		I rest my case...

		Darlin', darlin' till I hear it from you
		I rest my case...
