Gas your way out 'Cause once it start trickin', it's like the odds is dippin' The more she want with her hand out, it's all the system The dough is there, we all need clothes to wear On top of that, since the year's boo, it's only fair But peep the game, once it's known, all the features change Facial expressions start switchin', he speakin' strange Gone with six but she was just blowin' the dick Sayin' how much she love a nigga holdin' the whip But if you trip a little, that's how these tricks'll do you Can't understand? Well Jon gonna kick it to you [Chorus: Jon B] I gotta put your love on layaway To make you stay (Yah) I can't afford (Too much for me) your love Ooh, mami mami, mami mami [Bridge: Jon B] Girl, I know that's what you want now, girl I know that's what you want now, girl Don't front it's what you want know, girl I know that's what you want now, girl Don't front it's what you want now, girl Don't front it's what you want now, girl I know that's what you want now, girl Now say just what you want now, girl What you really want now, girl Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh [Chorus: Jon B & AZ] I gotta put your love on layaway (Can't afford that, man) To make you stay (Yah) I can't afford (Too much for me) your love Ooh, mami mami, mami mami
