[verse 1]
I'm feeling this brother like um...
Like a big fat person likes their tums
Like hot Krispy Kremes everybody wants some
Like Sisqo is feeling girls in thongs

I've been feeling this brother like ah...
Like a, like a ghetto brother likes a stack of
Money in his pocket when it's nice and fatter
How he gets, oh, it just don't matter...

[b-section]
He's got me so...high
I don't know why. I don't know why he's always on my mind
You said to let go and I tried, but I
Can't let him go. He's so fine

He's got me so...wide
Open inside, You keep on saying he has me so blind.
(You) said it's not love but you lying
'Cuz I have to have him in my life.

[chorus]
Hey Kandi
He ain't doing a thing for you
You knowing that his love ain't true
I know that the hell you should do.
You need to cut your love off
And show your man who's the boss
So next time he piss you off
Let him go cuz it's not your loss.

[verse 2]
I'm feeling this brother like a rat does cheese
He's filling my needs. I know you don't believe
But every time I see him I scream. So back up
'Cuz he and I are ding big things

I've been feeling this brother like I love my checks
Him and my dough are about neck and neck...
Hold up...you know that I'm joking
To choose him over money I would have to be smoking

[b- section to double chorus]

[rap]
Girl: Kandi, does he cook you food?
Kandi: No, but he manages
To hook up some mean peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Girl: Well. Does he clean the house?
Kandi: You dreamin' now
I got a maid but that's not what this thing's about
Girl: Well, does he give you mad dough?
Kandi: No
Girl: He's that poor?
Kandi: Hold up. Watch your mouth before you get rolled up
He's my man, I'll be damned if you play him soft
Matter of fact, just hang up before you tick me off

[chorus]

[verse 1]
When I got home last night
Something didn't seem right
I think I know whats goin on
There's been another ho in my home

[b-section]
Cigerettes in the trash
And he doesn't even smoke
Two glasses in the sink
The Dom is still cold
Trojans come in three
But one is gone
Hell no
Said I know what's goin on

[hook]
My man's has been cheatin on me
My momma told me there'd be days like this
My man's been cheatin on me
[repeat hook]

[verse 2]
How could he do this to me
Turn around and smile in my face
While he was out somebody else
Puttin her in my place

[b-section]
[hook]
[bridge]
What am I supposed to do
When I put my trust in you
What am I supposed to say
When you gave my love away
I gave you all my love
Repaid with your lies
Not checkin for your games
Don't wanna hear no alibis
Now I'm out the door
Cause I just can't take it no more

[breakdown]
Cheatin on Cheatin on
Cheatin on Cheatin me
Creepin on Creepin on
Creepin on Creepin on me

[chorus]
Heard you in the booty club
Tryin' to get new love
I wanted to scream and shout
But I went home
Just picked up the phone
Cleared your bank account out
It's gonna be such a shame
What I'm gonna do to you
Revenge is a must
When my heart you crush
You know I'm goin' burn yo' house to dust
Cause a girl really gets so serious
When you really make a girl so furious
It's such a shame
What I'm gonna do to you

[verse 1]
This is the last time
That I'm goin' let you get away
With all these games that you're playing with me
Cause I kept seeing the signs
But I ignored them anyway
I once was a blind but now I see
Cause when you came home last night
You just wasn't smelling right
And that look in your eyes
Is telling me what is going on
What the hell is that smell
Could it be someone else

[repeat chorus]

[verse 2]
I'm getting so tired
Of you always coming in late
With the scent of some female
On your face
It's only so much I can take
And you know, homeless
Just might be your fate
If you keep pushing the the limit with me
Cause when you came home last night
You just wasn't smelling right
And that look in your eyes
Is telling me what is going on
What the hell is that smell
Could it be someone else

[repeat chorus]

[verse 1]
Now I don't have to question
Where you were last night
Cause I already know what you will say
I already know you'll lie
But I can't be mad at ya
For there's something that you don't know
When you're gone I do my own thing
And I catch a bone while you're doggin' me

[chorus]
When you're out in the club
Don't think I'm not
Even when you're out making love
Don't think I'm not
When you're feeling good
In somebody's spot
Getting hot
Don't stop
Just don't think I'm not
'Cause I'm out getting mine

[repeat chorus]

[verse 2]
When I tried to get your attention
You ignored me every time
You were so caught up doin' your dirt that
You didn't notice mine
Couldn't put up with your schemin'
I couldn't put up with your lies
They say two wrongs don't make a right but
It's suiting me just fine

[bridge]
Don't look so surprised to know that
Sometimes women play the field
You may not believe it, but it's real...
The game is so real

[repeat chorus]

[verse 1]
Eenie-meenie-miny-mo
Caught yo' ass right by your toe
Hanging out with some h-o
Thought I wouldn't know
Well it looked to me like you were free
You told me that you'd be busy
I'm not the one to wait around
So this is how it all went down
You were leaving at 12 o'clock
I was leaving at 12:02 and that ain't cool
But I was with some other dude
So I dipped when I saw you
You were leaving our favorite spot, baby
Or so it was I thought, baby it's crazy
But who's to blame when
Game recognized game

[chorus]
You said that you were at your boy's house
Pants on fire - liar, liar
I said that I was sleep but I lied
Pants on fire - liar, liar
You said that you were working all night
Pants on fire - liar, liar
I said that I never called that guy
Pants on fire - liar, liar

[verse 2]
Nanny-Boo-Boo
You just mad cause I caught you
Thought I was some type of fool
So I did what I had to do, and
I don't know how but you forgot
When you're out in the club "Don't Think I'm Not"
You're not the only one getting hot
Yeah I'm blowin' up your spot
You were leaving at 12 o' clock
I was leaving at 12:02 when I saw you
But how could you have an attitude
When you do the same thing I do
My intentions were to stop baby
Before it went too far baby it's crazy
But who's to blame when
Game recognizes game

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
We said
We lied
Who's wrong
Who's right

[repeat chorus]

[verse1]
A funny thing happened to me
Just the other day
A girl came my way
She called your name
She said some things
I thought it was just some hearsay
But then she showed me
A picture or two
Of her with some dude
In positions that weren't cool
And then I looked again
And I saw that this dude was you
My first reaction was to snap on her
But what good would that do
You know that I have better things
Than fighting over you
So many times it seems that I
Refused to see the truth
But this time you know that I am through

[hook]
So just walk right out the door
Cause you can't come back here no more
You know we've been through this before
So you can't come back
You're in and out of my life
This time was your last try
You made your bed so there you lie
No you can't come back

[verse 2]
The last time you deceived me
You said give you one more chance
You blamed it on your weaknesses of just being a man
I was the fool to believe in you
Put my heart in your hands
I should have known when you did me wrong
You'd just do it again
Please just leave
No convincing me
You will ever be
The man for me
I'm so sick and tired of hearing lies from you
So pack your bags cause I am through

[hook]

[bridge]
Did everything to please you
But still that wasn't enough
Gave you my heart and soul
Total control
All I wanted was your love
See now time after time
I kept taking you back
Endless tears I spent on you
And I'm tired of forgiving
So goodbye good riddens
It's time for me to start living

[chorus]
If you got kids back home I wanna know
If you don't I wanna know
If you're straight or you ain't I wanna know
If you're broke I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

[verse 1]
If you wanna be with me I gotta know
What you doin', where your goin'
Where you have been
Who you loved, who you liked, who you seein'
Before I let you in
Because I learned from my past...oh yes I did
Met a guy that I liked, he was my type
But he lied 'bout his wife and he tried
To play me, play me

[b-section]
Now how long was he goin'
Wait before he told me 'bout that
I can't believe he did me like that
Something I should've known
But I've learned my lesson
Not again will I be naive
I need to know the secrets ya'll keep
Cause what I don't know can come back on me

[repeat chorus]

[verse 2]
If you wanna fall in love...gotta be aware
'bout the life that your lover's been leadin'
So you know if they gonna be schemin'
Or if they gonna dog you out
Cause I know I've had my share...oh yes I did
Did me wrong...stayin' at some woman's place
I'm just glad he was not a closet case
Deal with cheatin'...but not that way

[repeat b-section and chorus]

[breakdown]
Ladies, oh ladies
Find out all the partners he's had
So later on you won't be mad
Findin' out what you don't know
Fellas, oh fellas
Check for that Adam's apple
So you won't be on no talk show
Finding out what you don't know
[repeat chorus]

[verse 1]
As a woman it's my job
To make sure my man is happy
Always assure him that he
Has all that he needs in me
As a woman it's my job
To make sure he's so satisfied
Keep it tight day and night so that I
Never have to worry 'bout him strayin'
See I'm a real woman who wants a real man
And when I find him I'm gonna keep him all I can
You'll never catch me stressin' him
You'll only find me lovin' him
I'm a real woman who wants a real man
And when I meet him I'll give him all I can
You'll never find me trippin' on him
I'll only be givin' love to him

[chorus]
"My woman's gotta have skills in the kitchen,
She's gotta keep it real with nothin' missin'"
"You talkin' bout me"
"And when she hangin' with her friends gettin' tipsy,
She call me where she at and say she miss me"
"You talkin' bout me"
"She gotta give me good lovin' though the night now,
No matter where she at she be like 'right now'"
"You talkin' bout me"
"And when a brother's goin' through some of that raw stuff,
She got my back like 'sho nuff'"
"You talkin' bout me"

[verse 2]
Every man wants a woman
Who really has the skill to cook his meals
Mac and cheese, collard greens, cream corn, baked beans
"I'm a southern lady, my cooking's got him crazy"
I hear they all want a woman
Who can rock 'em all night, make 'em feel right
Do a lot of tricks and keep him hyped
You know, the house-wife/freak type
See I'm a real woman who wants a real man
And when I find him I'm gonna keep him all I can
You'll never catch me stressin' him
You'll only find me lovin' him
I'm a real woman who wants a real man
And when I meet him I'll give him all I can
You'll never find me trippin' on him
I'll only be givin' love to him

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
You Talkin' bout me
'Bout me
Boy don't you see
That you talking 'bout me
'Bout me
Boy don't you see

[rap]
[repeat chorus]

I was a sucka for you
So crazy in love with you
But I'll be damned if I do
Nothing else you want me to do
Cuz I got played for the fool
And you know that wasn't cool
You made it harder for the brothas
Cuz of you I just don't trust 'em

[verse 1]
I thought it was all good
Me and you sayin' that you my boo
Never knew that you was doin' the do
With every girl givin' out hoochie coo
But now I find
And it just blows my mind
That everytime
I said that you were mine
They were laughin' behind my back and
When I found out I was so sad

[b section]
Then I said hold up, wait a minute
Slow down, turn around
Are you really gonna let that bull-shhh go down
Letting him back now I don't see how
When you know that he's been getting around
With every girl in town
Throwing down
And everybody knows about it
Made it harder for the brothas
Cuz of you I don't trust em

[repeat hook]

[verse2]
I thought I had turned you out
Cause you told me I was the fire
Never knew that was just a line
That you said just to get my time
U had me feelin' like such a fool
cause I gave you the boody too
You were playin' with my head
Just to get me in your bed & ...

[repeat b-sec]
[repeat hook]

[verse 1]
You stood there thinkin' you were all that
And I did too
You took too long to step to me
So I just step to you
We talked all night about all
That you could do
If I could've foreseen what's
Behind those jeans
Oh I'd a' never talked to you

[b-section]
Cause damn, I thought you'd be packin' and
Damn I thought you'd put your back in it
Damn no you didn't, so you're finished
And I gotta let you know cause you gotta
Loose my number
Damn you had the worst sex and
Damn you didn't last a second
Damn no you didn't so you're finished
And I gotta let you go

[chorus]
I won't bite my tongue
The "D" wasn't good so you can't get none
Our first will be our last
The "D" was trash sorry ass and ya need to know

[repeat chorus]

[verse 2]
Don't kid yourself baby
I'm not impressed
You talk too much, couldn't back it up
And your stroke was just a mess
I won't bite my tongue
Cause you said that I would be sprung
I can't tell what'cha did to me
Cause before I got mine you were done

[repeat b-section]

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Before you take me oh baby
Make sure that you know
How to make me
Fulfill me
If not, don't you come my way
Oh no, oh no

[repeat chorus]

I just grow weaker as the days go by
I cry so much there's no reason to wipe my eyes
Way down deep inside my mind
I still deny that I must say good-bye
To the one I thought would always be mine
Now I believe that what we give comes back to us in time
And I believe that if you search for long enough you'll find
What you always know to be the truth was right before your eyes
And so if...if I have to let you go

[chorus]
Darling just as long as you know
Wherever you go
If there's a road that leads you back my way
I'll be at the end of that road
Just so you know
I...I'm gonna be there

There's just no easy way to prepare
For something like this
Cause you never know just what you'll do
Until the moment exists
See, I tried to tell my heart to just behave
My lips wanna beg you to stay...but it'll be okay
If I can just convince my arms to let you go
Now, I don't know how I'll ever get over this
Cause there's this chance
That you might find somebody else
I'm hoping the odds are all against it
But if you do and it's not what you want in your heart
If it's tearing you apart, you need to come on back here

[chorus]

Just a few years ago
I was told the best way to keep
Something precious...set it free
Cause love will span the distance
And if you ever find yourself
At the lonesome road
You just turn around
I will be right there
I'll be waiting for you
My love is gonna be there

[chorus]

(feat. Faith Evans)

[chorus]
It gets...it gets easier
Without you
I won't feel right...I can't feel right
Without you
But it gets...it gets easier

[verse1]
I was in misery without you
I could not imagine life without you
It was such a painful thing to go through
To have you being taken away
But I...I dried my tears
Even though it took a couple of years
I guess I had to just let go of my fears
Of being alone...but it gets

[repeat chorus]

[verse2]
I thought my life was over without you
Thought I would be oh so sad darling
Cuz you left me here, to face all my fears
All by myself, with nobody else
Now that you're gone I just gotta move on
But my lovin's never changed
It'll always stay the same
I felt you were wrong
The lonely nights alone
I get weak then I'm strong
It gets easier

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Sometimes it's really hard to just let go
Don't feel like moving on...Oh yeah I know
Just breathin' air is hard to bear
Whe the one that you love is not there
Thoughts of you sit heavy on my mind
I always reminisce on our good times
I just take it day by day
I know that'll never be easy
But I can say it gets easier

[repeat chorus]

Hey, Kandi
Hey, Kandi
Hey, Kandi

What you gonna do now?
Since you can't hide in the background no more?
What you gonna do now Kandi?
