Take Off Your Halo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember those things I said
Well I don't mean none of 'em now
You're acting like a different person
I couldn't pick you out of a crowd
I know 'bout all the things you did
There's nothing left to talk about
Baby, take off your halo (Ooh, ooh)
You ain't nobody's angel now
So you can keep playin'
I can't hear nothing that ya sayin'
And sorry won't change it
Girl, I'm 'bout to put you out

[Chorus]
Don't try to apologize
Or try to call my phone no more
Baby, take off your halo
It doesn't even glow no more
There's not gon' be no second chance
Don't try to show up back at my door
Baby, take off your Halo
What kind of fool do you take off for?

[Refrain]
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna hear your explanations
You're not gon' talk your way out of this
I know exactly what you're gonna try to say
And I'm not gon' fall for none of your tricks
Go ahead and cry if you want to
Go and tell it to the dude that you were with
The second that I walk away
Baby girl, you don't even exist
So you can keep playin'
I can't hear nothing that you sayin'
And sorry won't change it
Don't try to come at me with none of your sh—

[Chorus]
Don't try to apologize
Or try to call my phone no more
Baby, take off your halo
It doesn't even glow no more
There's not gon' be no second chance
Don't try to show up back at my door
Baby, take off your Halo
What kind of fool do you take off for?

[Refrain]
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo
Take off your halo (Halo), halo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Posner’s take on Beyoncé’s hit Halo. It is about Mike confronting a girl about not being an angel, thus asking her to remove her halo. It is about a girl changing over time. Track 8 off the mixtape gave a nice glimpse of the range that Mike’s voice had. He took pride in the fact that every song on the CD had production done by him and every sound even remixes were made completely from scratch and could be called his beats.
