How Can U Be Down

Lyrics

[Scatting intro] [Verse 1] Called me up on a Friday night When she knew that you'd be out with your girls Said she always thought that I was fly Me and her should maybe take a twirl I told the girl no, no no But she still came knocking at my door I told her to go go home But that made her even want me more [Pre-Chorus] And now she's busy trying to signify That there was something going on between her and I Well, that's the kinda shit that I won't dignify With an answer, come on, how can you... [Chorus] How can you be down? She ain't down for you Don't be so naive, she's playing you Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool Tried to take your man Now she's taking you You need to say no no no Momma didn't raise no fool You need to let her know know know There'll be no more running games on you [scatting] [Verse 2] Dropped by the crib early Tuesday night 'Cause she knew that you'd be away at school Tried to seduce me with all kinda lies Tried to make me think the worst of you I told the girl, "No no no" She dropped down and tried to give it a kiss I told the B to go go home Then she said "You gon' be sorry for this" [Pre-Chorus] And now she's out there trying to testify That there was something going on between her and I That's the kinda shit that I won't let get by Don't she know that I'm grown, how can you... [Chorus] How can you be down? She ain't down for you Don't be so naive, she's playing you Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool Tried to take your man Now she's taking you You need to say "No no no" Momma didn't raise no fool You need to let her know know know There'll be no more running games on you [Bridge] Sometime your friends ain't what they seem Want all your hopes and dreams And they will do just 'bout, sh*t, anything Whatever it's gonna take to bring you down, see Give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile Knife in your back all with a smile Don't be surprised when they clean out your house Better not bring no stray dogs home [Chorus] How can you be down? She ain't down for you Don't be so naive, she's playing you Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool Tried to take your man Now she's taking you You need to say no no no Momma didn't raise no fool You need to let her know know know There'll be no more running games on you How can you be down? She ain't down for you Don't be so naive, she's playing you Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool Tried to take your man Now she's taking you You need to say no no no Momma didn't raise no fool You need to let her know know know There'll be no more running games on you How can you be down? She ain't down for you Don't be so naive, she's playing you Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool Tried to take your man Now she's taking you You need to say no no no Momma didn't raise no fool You need to let her know know know There'll be no more running games on you
