  • I was at the crib, sittin' by the fireplace
    Drinkin' cocoa on the bear skin rug
    The door bell rang. Who could it be?
    Thought to myself then started to shrug
    Got to the door. Ding Dong. Who is it?
    My girl's best friend had payed me a visit.
    Sly as can be, tight dress and all
    She knew that I was faithful. I really didn't have the gall.
    I tried to chill. She made the move.
    Now I know my girlfriend wouldn't approve.
    I didn't realize my girl was settin' me up
    Yo, my girl didn't trust me. No!
    Yeah, but she lost control I wouldn't take the bait.
    I said chill baby baby chill baby baby wait
    My girl bust in, Caught us creating a boom
    She said "Girlfriend"?

    Things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
    Things that make you go hmm

    Here's how it started
    Just an example of how another brother can trample
    Ruin your life, sleep with your wife
    Watch your behind
    There was a friend of mine named Jay
    Would come over late at night and say hey
    I watched the fight. I thought is was alright.
    'Cause me and Jay were really really tight
    So damned close we had the same blood type.
    Months went by and my wife got big
    We were havin' a child and I got another gig
    So I let Jay move into the crib and chill
    He had his own room and helped pay the bills
    The time had come (for the baby down to the scene)
    It looked like Jay and I couldn't believe
    Before my eyes in the delivery room.

    Things that make you go hmm
    The things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
    The things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm

    Robbie Rob - break it down!

    Give it to me Give it to me Give it to me Give it to me (x7)
    Give it to me Give it to me

    Seventeen and I was havin' a ball
    Eleventh grade and "Joe" I knew it all
    I fell in love for the very first time
    With this girl she really blew my mind
    Inner sense and whole lotta class
    Style that could give you whiplash
    We said hello and my heart beat stopped
    She was the world and I was on top
    Time went by, She filled my universe
    We made love, She said I was the first
    My boy kept tellin' me. Yo, I don't know
    I think your girl's been playing tic tac toe
    I'll ask my girl I know she only loves me
    Wasn't I the one who took your viginity?
    The look on her face read sorrow and gloom
    She said "Yeah, Why do you guys always ask that?"

    Things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm
    It's the things that make you go hmm
    The things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm
    The things that make you go hmm.

    Hey ladies
    Have you ever had a man
    Go away for business, come back with a tan
    Comes home late at night from work
    You cooked him dinner now you feel like a jerk
    Sayin' he didn't have time to eat
    And he's not even hungry, he wants to RETREAT
    To the bedroom he said his head hurts
    You're only makin' love in radical spurts
    Mysterious calls and the phone goes click
    You say to yourself "I'm gonna hit him with a brick"
    Ain't no way he could be cheatin' on me
    I wonder who bought him those BVD's
    Dressed to a T to hang with the fellas
    Over the guys and I'm getting jealous
    Comin' home late smellin' like perfume (fume)

    The things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm
    The things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
    The things that make you go hmm
    Things that make you go hmm
    The things that make you go hmm.
