Lyrics

[Intro: Q-Tip] Who that at the door? (I'on know) Yo, Tip, it's her (What?) Yo (Uh, uh), what you doin' here (Uh) in front of my face? (Yeah) What you doin' here (Uh-huh) in front of my face? (Uh) What you doin' here (Woo) in front of my face? (Uh) You didn't want my... (Woo) you didn't want it (Uh) So go somewhere where you are wanted (Uh) But if you want to, then you can come here, come here, yo Yo-yo, uh-huh, uh-huh, huh (Huh) [Verse 1: Q-Tip | Phife Dawg] Have you ever met a woman who just took your breath? (Yeah, uh-huh, uh-uh, yeah, uh-huh) So deep inside her life, she contemplated death (Damn, she deep, give a fella the creeps) Can't help but get attached to a woman like that (True that, true that, true that, true that) The contact was quite immediate, I had good tact (Because you the man, uh, uh, yo, you know you the man, uh, uh) We related and debated over food and tunes (You know I'm good) It started out in September, now we entering June (Say word, say word, say word, say word) A simple night in the crib, no, it just won't do (No, it just won't do, no, it just won't do, know why?) Because she liable to start shit too wild for you (Say word, wild for you, word, wild for, uh) She wanna push my whip, buy diamond chips And take on trips, conversin' my flip Gotta do her hair, take her out to the fair Win a teddy bear, make sure you don't stare At another one comin', don't be startin' nothin' Be a slave to her, don't be brave to her Make sure that she's right, make sure that you're wrong When she wants it, do it, make sure that it's long If anyone wanna make it work, it's me (Phife Dawg, help me out, Phife Dawg, help me out) But we gotta come to a common ground, baby (What you say, pop? What you say, pop? Help me out) Any man, he can claim to be the one for you (Say word, for you, say word, for you) But put it straight to yourself and realize what's true (Worry though, worry though, worry though, worry though) [Chorus: Q-Tip & Phife Dawg | Q-Tip] And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on Ah, get it goin' on, let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on Phife Dawg in the break, is she more than you can take? [Verse 2: Phife Dawg | Q-Tip] See, I'm not the one to be taken advantage of (Damn, Phife Dawg, Phife Dawg) And if you really think about it, I got nothin' but love (Yeah) Now if your heart isn't in it, please let me know There's no need to waste time, if it's no, then I'll go (Yeah, yeah, baby, word up, word) [Chorus: Q-Tip & Phife Dawg] And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on Get it goin' on, let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on And if it's me, then let's get it goin' on Get it goin' on, let's get it goin' on
