I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this, you know

(I saw you...)
Hey, hey baby, how ya doin'? Come on in here.
(Walking in the rain...)
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you.
Listen, first things first. Let me hang up that coat.
(You were holding hands and I'll...)
Yeah. How was your day today?
Did you miss me?
(Never be the same...) [repeats in background]
Oh, you did? Yeah? I missed you too.
I missed you so much I followed you today.
That's right. Now close your mouth, 'cause you cold busted!
That's right, now sit down here; sit down here.
I'm so upset with you I don't know what to do.
You know my first impulse was to run up on you and do a Rambo.
I was about to jam you and flat blast both of you.
But I didn't wanna mess up this thirty-seven-hundred-dollar lynx coat.
So instead, I chilled -- that's right, chilled.

I went to the bank and took out every dime.
Then I went and cancelled all those credit cards... yeah!
All your charge accounts... yeah!
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelery I ever bought you!
Yeah, that's right! Everything!
Everything.
No, don't go lookin' in that closet, 'cause you ain't got nothin' in there.
Everything you came here with is packed up and waiting for you in the guest room. That's right.
What was you thinking about? Huh? What are you trying to prove?
You was with the Juice!
I gave you silk suits, blue diamonds, Gucci handbags...
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!
But now I can't give you nothing but advice.
'Cause you still young. That's right, you still young.
I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this, you know.
You're gonna find somebody like me one of these days.
Until then, you know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here with that alley-cat-coat-wearing,
Hush Puppy-shoe-wearing crumb cake I saw you with! 'Cause you dismissed!
That's right. Silly rabbit, tricks are made for kids, don't you know that?!?
You without me is like corn flakes without the milk!!!
It's my world; you're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!!!
Now get on outta here. Scat!!!
