    Ay shawty why u wanna act like that?
    I'm sayin', I'm just tryin' be nice to ya

    Go and tell a nigga no wit an ass so fat
    Hey why u wanna go and do that love huh?
    Hey why u wanna go and do that do dat
    Hey why u wanna go and do dat dat dat

    And the relationship been faithful to a nigga so wack
    Hey why u wanna go and do that love huh
    Hey why u wanna go and do that do dat
    Hey why u wanna go and do dat dat dat

    Can't help but notice how ya glowin' I can see in ya face
    Now I just wonder if he know he close to bein' replaced
    Swear I treat u like a queen u put me in his place
    So you could give back his ring and the key to his place

    Tell the nigga one thing that u need ya space
    Tell the niggas one thing u don?t need to chase
    I wanna kiss u everywhere between ya knees and waist
    Hear the sounds that u make and get ya knees to shake

    Holla at me in the A you feel u need to escape
    Got a mansion and a gate, you wit me and you safe
    There?s a phantom and a truck wit 23's to skate
    600 g's in the safe how much cheese it take

    This a chance u need to take it ain't no need to wait
    Say the word we can leave today it's somethin' special and it feel like fate
    Hate to make a mistake
    How the same thing makin' ya sad makin' ya stay

    Can he touch it like that and make it feel like this
    How he left and came back and it's still like this
    Do he hit it from the back and make u feel it in ya chest
    Take advantage of what you concealin' in ya dress

    What he think he too fresh to show u that u the best
    Compliment u on ya intellect and treat u wit respect
    Make u sex till u sweat tongue kissin' on ya neck
    It's been a while since u got it like this I bet

    And I can tell you ain't just another bitch I met
    Ain't nobody got me open like this not yet
    Know u confused ain't decided which way you should go yet
    So how u keep sayin' no when ya panties so wet?

    Ay
    This nigga playin' mind games man
    I think the time came that ya mind changed ya understand?
    Life is like a chess move u need to make the next move ya best move
    Keep it pimpin' ya understand?
    Hey
    I mean you know I'm sayin' I showed u how I feel you know what I'm sayin'
    I put myself all the way out there you know
    Ball in your court man but I jus got one question for u
    Is you happy? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
