[Intro: Raphael Saadiq]
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy

("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")

And if the shoe fits
I want you to wear it and wear it good
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
Uh-huh, ah yeah, uh-huh

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
Talking 'bout them times when I was by myself
I would always be looking for somebody else
But, as time went on, I had a talk with my mind
Friends like you and you I gotta leave behind
And I'm saying...

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
(I'll never see them again)
I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
Friends and enеmies around me evеry day
I can't believe half the things they say
Taking me for granted, giving no credit at all
I'll just keep bouncing like a bouncing ball
Then everybody seems to disappear on me
Can't trust no one as far as I can see
If I could be that fly that's on the wall
Listening to my friends talk about it all

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
(I'll never see them again)
I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you (Sons of Soul, y'all)

[Interlude: Raphael Saadiq]
I don't mean to step on nobody foot but uh...

[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq]
When I need somebody there's nobody to call
When they need me, my phone rings off the wall
But these are my friends, and that's what they say
Constantly taking from me every day
And you say...
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
(I'll never see them again)
I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
(I'm starting to believe what it feels like)
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot (I'll never see them again)
I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you (Sons of Soul, y'all)

[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq]
Da-da-da-hee, da-da-da-da-hee, da-da-da-da-hee, hee, hee
I don't mean to step on nobody foot but uh
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-da-day-ayy
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
You call me your friend

I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")

I'm just glad I know the deal (Uh-huh)
And I'm paying my own bills (Uh-huh)
And I'll never ever depend on you
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
(I'm staring to believe what it feels like)
You call me your friend
But you only want the ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
("And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts")
I'm just glad I know the deal
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
