Lyrics

What's up?

You don't wanna talk?

That's a bad habit pretendin' to tell

That's not the way to be

Tryna show you that I love you

I want you to understand

That I'm the right kind of man

I'll do everything I can

All this warmth

I just don't understand

Why you don't want to be with me

Talk to me, talk to me

Girl what's your problem?

Walkin' around from nine to two, tell me

I try to talk to you

But your conversation borders on bein' blue

When I wanna make love

You're not ready, willing nor able

You've got the nerve to complain

But I'm still keeping pool on the table (hey)

I'll get down on my knees and thats why I do things that I do

'Cause I know, there's a woman out there somewhere

Who will treat me a little bit better than you

I give you my money (empty my pockets, baby)

And all of my time (all my time)

Make love to you constantly (ooh-woo-ooh)

But you outta your mind

Buy you nice things (everything that you want)

Give all your things (everything I give you)

If you don't want me baby (somebody else)

Somebody else will (somebody else will)

You better change your ways

'Cause you know that I'm a good man (ooh-hoo)

Not a lot of guys would treat you like me

Come along don't be down, hold me

There's something about you girl

That keeps me hanging around

I just can't figure it out (ow! Oh no!)

But you keep on letting me down (you keep on gettin' me down)

But there's one thing for certain

I'm not blind, I can see

I give you one hundred percent of a real man

But you're only givin' me bottom place, oh

I give you my money (okay)

And all of my time (all of my time)

Make love you constantly (make love to you over and over and over)

But you outta your mind (until you go crazy with it, baby)

Buy you nice things (things and things)

Give all your things (please just stay on the phone, baby)

If you don't want me baby (if you don't want me, baby)

Somebody else will (somebody else)

Somebody, somebody, who cares a lot about it

Girl, I'm wonderin' what your problem is

Walkin' round with an attitude

Tryna talk to ya

Do-do-do-do

I don't understand, you gotta tell me, baby

You gotta tell me what you need (ha-ha, ha-ha)

Baby, you see your best friend's callin' me now (I give you my money, and all of my time)

I said 'cause if they even know last night (make love to you constantly)

They want to know how I was doin' (but you outta your mind)

If I was seein' you last

I know that's jive, baby (Buy you nice things)

I know that they just don't care (give all your things)

They just want somebody who will (if you don't want me, baby)

And I will, 'cause I'm a real deal (yes I'm mean I'm a real type)

They smilin' in your face (all my money)

All the time they want to take your place (all of my time, backstabbers)

What they doin', what they doin'? (but you outta your mind)

They callin' me up (buy you nice things)

They wanna get with me (give all your things)

'Cause they thought that we broke up, darlin' (if you don't want me, baby)

They want what, they want, they want what you had (somebody else will)

And they're so for real, oh-oh (if you don't want me, baby)

Said what they doin'? (somebody else will)

They backstabbers, they call me behind your back (if you don't want me)

They tell me "you, listen you" (somebody else will)

Said what they doin'? (if you don't want me, baby)

They want me, baby (somebody else will)

They called me, baby, yeah, yeah

I said they want me
