(Yeah... wooo

Uh, uh-huh... c'mon... uh

Yo... ch'mere... uh, uh)
|
|
The first time I laid my eyes on you,
|
You know that... girl, you know I had to.
|
She had the honeycomb lips fired up.
|
I had the drop top, six chromed up.
|
That sounds like we was meant to,
|
Girl, you were sent to...
|
From up above, Heaven lent you.
|
To let me take your time, with the line, what's yer name?
|
You telling me you got a man... damn that's a shame...
|
|
[BRIDGE]
|
Somebody let me know,
|
Why I gotta play all the time in a low-down?
|
It's a shame how I make you feel,
|
But it's hard girl... I'm trying to keep it real.
|
|
[CHORUS x2]
|
It's a shame.... (uh-huh)
|
You know yer messing 'round with my heart
|
(The way I'm playing with yer heart, girl...)
|
It's a shame...
|
The way you... hurt me.
|
(I didn't meant to...)
|
|
Like Sugarbear, don't scandalize mine.
|
That's just how I play, get yourself in line.
|
Ah, my girlfriends phoning me, uh
|
Asking why she found a pair of panties in the backseat, uh.
|
Damn! I shoulda known I was wrong to.
|
I didn't mean to hurt you girl, I didn't want to.
|
But she was too damn, jiggity boom.
|
Green eyes, jeans tight, and dark hair...
|
I friggin had to.

Pardon me girl, that it ain't what yer thinkin.

All alone, while yer sleepin, I'm dreamin.

(Trying to say...)
|
Is I got you, but I gotta get you... in my heart,

Girl, I gotta let you.
|
I need to stop that guy. I'm tryin to get it straight.
