Lyrics

[Intro: Siedah Garrett] Check, check it Listen up Oh, oh, oh, uh [Verse 1: Siedah Garrett] Listen up, he just ran out of time There's no making up That he took a chance and stepped across the line From the broken heart he left behind (He went, went and, went, went and broke it) Alright Now he's around, he's got that look again He heard the sound of a hungry heart Just waiting for the pain, yeah Just another link for the chain, oh [Pre-Chorus: Siedah Garrett] There's some that play along If you know what I mean 'Cause there just no way to make 'em see When he comes 'round my way I know the route he'll take Something like "Baby, please, I'm down on my knees" [Chorus: Siedah Garrett] I don't go for that I'm tellin' you that you're wasting your time I don't go for that Open your heart and show that the signs are there I don't go for that You got it all so mixed up in your mind I don't go for that The dude don't get it, he just don't get it I don't go for that [Post-Chorus: Siedah Garrett] Oh (Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-bop, bop, bop) Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah [Verse 2: Siedah Garrett] Believe the man, he saw too much too soon In a world where the lesson is a lifetime overdue, yeah Don't you know that's all he can do (Why, why do you me, why do me, do me?) [Pre-Chorus: Siedah Garrett] Whoa, he's in another place and I can't understand And I tried so hard to make him see, yeah, I did He still comes 'round my way and it's written on his face Whispering "Baby, please" Ah, but it's just a tease, oh [Chorus: Siedah Garrett] I don't go for that, no, no, no I'm tellin' you that you're wasting your time I don't go for that, mmm, no Open your heart and show that the signs are there I don't go for that, mmm, no You got it all so mixed up in your mind, yeah I don't go for that The dude don't get it, he just don't get it I don't go for that [Bridge: Siedah Garrett] I won't go, I won't I won't go, I won't, I won't go Better watch that man, watch that man Watch that, watch that, watch that man, mmm, mmm (Talk to me quick) Baby, baby, I don't go for that Baby, baby, I don't go for that (Ah, better talk to me quick) Don't go for that Don't go for that Don't go for that Don't go for that I don't go for that [Chorus: Siedah Garrett] I don't go for that, oh no I'm tellin' you that you're wasting your time I don't go for that Open your heart and show that the signs are there I don't go for that You got it all so mixed up in your mind I don't go for that The dude don't get it, he just don't get it I don't go for that [Outro: Siedah Garrett] Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-bop, bop, bop Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-bop, bop, bop Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-bop, bop, bop Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-bop, bop, bop Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-bop, bop, bop
