[Intro]
|
Ah, it feels good
|
Oh don't, don't go there
|
Heh heh, you're not foolin' me
|
Listen
|
|
By the way you dress
|
By the way you talk
|
By the friends you keep
|
The Benz you bought
|
How you treat ya ex
|
How you treat your child
|
I peeped your style from half a mile
|
|
Would you think of me
|
Sleep with someone else
|
Would ya take the time and protect yourself
|
How you lied to her
|
Would ya lie to me
|
I can tell if it's meant to be
|
|
1 - I can tell when guys are all the same
|
I can tell it when they're playing games
|
I can tell what kind of guy you are
|
I can tell it, I can tell it
|
|
I can tell what you really want
|
I can tell it when it's all a front
|
Gotta know before I go too far
|
I can tell it, I can tell it
|
|
Would you raise your hand
|
Would you raise your voice
|
Do you act brand new in front of your boys
|
Did you finish school or did you drop out
|
Have you opened up a bank account
|
Cause if I hang out at the end of the week
|
Do I detect a jealuos streak
|
Do you go for self
|
Or you aim to please
|
Cause I can tell from what I see
|
|
Repeat 1
|
|
Boy I can see what you try to conceal
|
And boy I can tell when you're keeping it real
|
If I'm gonna love you
|
I gotta see straight to your heart
|
|
Repeat 1 until end
|
