Goes something like this 'Bout twenty minutes after six You see your man getting ready, looking fresh to death
Clean as the board of health, so he gives you a kiss Says he's 'bout to go and kick it Chill with his boys and you get jealous 'Cause he's always with the fellas
Then you hear the magic words (Baby, I'm-a call you later) You say be safe and don't get hurt Now five hours later
[Chorus] Say it's midnight Tell me, do you know where you're man is? It's been a while Since he left and ain't checked in
It's midnight Tell me, do you know where you're man is? 'Cause something's up No doubt, no doubt Girl, you better find out find out
Now you're waitin' at your crib And all you could think about Is where could he be at this hour So you decide to take a trip And hop up in the whip
Now you're riding around To all the places where you know he hangs out Then you say to yourself Girl, this is crazy Why are you out looking for a lady?
Then you think about the magic words (Baby, I'm-a call you later) Then you said be safe and don't get hurt Now five hours later
I'm gonna put it out there Lay it on the line And even if it breaks my heart I'm giving it a try
Not waiting for tomorrow Confessing it today So, baby, here it goes I'm out of time It's do or die
[Chorus] I wanna be your baby Won't you be my man? I wanna be your soldier When you're too weak to stand I wanna be your baby Be the end of your day Forever in your life Forever by your side Forever I'll stand
I'm hanging on a thread I don't care if I fall But I ain't gonna fall even though I don't know if you feel me at all (feel me at all)
I'm ready to be right or wrong with you Ready for my heart to win or lose I'm ready to give all I've got to you Boy, I want you to know
[Chorus]
Not waiting for tomorrow Confessing it today So, baby, here it goes I'm out of time It's do or die
So I am saying I love you Ain't holdin' nothing back And I'm saying I want you I want you to call my name And I wait on you forever And I promise that 'Cause I love you I love
I never had to check his phone And worry about him when he's gone 'Cause even when he's not at home He's right where he said he'd be I never go to bed frustrated And I never ever, ever have to fake it 'Cause when it comes to our lovemaking He always aims to please
Say mmm mmm mmm What he's serving it tastes so good to me Say mmm mmm mmm He ain't perfect, but he does it for me My man's tailor made for me He comes in just my size And every time I put him on I swear he fits just right
[Chorus] Baby, that's how its s'posed to be I'm right for him and he's down for me There ain't no other lady Who'll be sexin' my baby but me? Baby, that's how it's s'posed to be
He knows where every single spot is And everyone hears that drop When he want to get it off No problem; he knows it's all of me He ain't about the games and front, no Staking on his name means something Ain't gon' let him go for nothing We gon' make history
Say mmm mmm mmm What he's serving it tastes so good to me Say mmm mmm mmm He ain't perfect, but he does it for me My man's tailor made for me He comes in just my size And every time I put him on I swear he fits just right

[Chorus]
Say mmm mmm mmm What he's serving it tastes so good to me Say mmm mmm mmm He ain't perfect, but he does it for me My man's tailor made for me He comes in just my size And every time I put him on I swear he fits just right

We can Oh no, forget it I'm his--that's automatic His love--I gotta have it And that's how it's s'posed to be
Stupid Lyrics Loving you is stupid Because I know that you never really loved me And you never gave me a sign so I could see
That you and me would never have possibilities And I feel so stupid After all the nights you left me lonely to die And you never gave me a reason why And now I sit all alone and I cry
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh Am I stupid? I should have known you were only playing a game And you and me would never be the same
You made me feel like I창??m the one to blame And I feel so stupid After all those nights after nights that I tried And all those conversations of lies And I'm sitting her all alone and I창??m crying
Can't believe you never knew I felt All this love and there ain창??t no one else Who could ever love me the way that you do You're all I need but you treated me so wrong and I can창??t believe it How could you do me like you?

I'm used to Going "7 Whole Days" and not hearing from him And I'm used to Him "Unbreaking My Heart" then breaking it again I'm used to Him never really being "Man Enough For Me" and always "Talking In His Sleep" but never talking bout me

<i>[Verse 1:]</i> Ooh boy where are you now You came and you rescued me when I was down. Now I'm shadowless, life is such a mess, where did we go wrong Impossible to see, I'm supposed to be, 'cause my light is gone
