Now the way it went Got me in this messed up predicament Cause I ain't know how to be monogamous I was caught in the wrong just walkin' Through the mall with this shorty on my arm Now I played the fool Sittin' in the sneaker store buyin' shoes My girl's best friend came strolling through I tried to turn away but I moved too late Cause she already saw my face I was hopin' she Didn't really get a good look at me She walked out the store so casually I thought that I was fine 'Til she called me later on with my girl on the line
She'd seen me Called me up on the threeway Givin' me girl the whole replay Has it happened to you, has it happened to you?
Repeat
Now I tried to lie Sayin' that it must have been some other guy You know your friends jealous of you and I 'Cause she ain't got a man so she's all up in our business Hold on and let me finish girl your crushin me Actin like you ain't got no trust in me I thought you said that you were in love with me Well act you know me and hang up the phone But she ain't quit The more I tried to lie the angrier she'd get She said it was over with us, that's it Word to all men If your goin' be creepin', look out for her friend
Chorus
Now ladies know how to stick together, together No matter what you say you ain't goin' win Now brothas better have they stuff together Cause she always goin' believe her friend, Always goin' to believe her friend.
City Hi,i,i,ig Booga Basement, here come another one
I know things ain't work out for you and me lady But don't worry about my child because I'a take care of 'em baby And I can't keep comin around, breakinyou off Cause It breaks my heart, when we make love and ain't no love involved
Why should we screw If we can get along, what's the point of gettingit on You know that it's wrong when all we do Is sweep it under the rug What's the point when we touch if we're no longer in love
This makes no sense to do what we do Cause baby I've been moved on and I know you got someone new So we promised each other we wouldn't make this a sexual thang Cause it feels good while we bang, but when it's all over You know we'll be fightin again
Why should we screw If we can get along, what's the point of gettingit on You know that it's wrong when all we do Is sweep it under the rug What's the point when we touch if we're no longer in, why, tell me why it seems to be, the only time you work with me, is when we're in between the sheets, when I'm workin your body, that's when we get along, but when you put your clothes back on, right back to the same old song, we got it all wrong....
How many people out there like Donny Ha thaway? Let me see your hands up Know what I'm sayin' City High's about to reminisce Drop the beat y'all
I been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I made some bad rhymes Acted out my life in stages 10,000 people watching we're alone now and I'm singin' this song to you I know your image of me Is what I hope to be I treated you unkindly Darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Baby you see through me We're alone now And was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets Of a true love with holding nothing Came out in front while I was hiding But now I'm so much better If my words don't seem to come together Listen to the melody Cause my love was in there hiding yeah
City High to the bridge now Aaaaaah I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life is over Remember when we were together Cause we were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone
15 will get ya 20 16 will get ya 10 Don't think it can't happen to you cause It happened to one of my friends

He stepped to her and Asked her name not even thinking to Ask her age she so fine she had To be grown had he knew then what He knows now.
