[Intro]
Check this out, girl
I know you sittin' back sayin' to yourself
"I know he ain't tryna holla," nah, ah-ha
But it's somethin' I gotta tell ya
Aw, yeah, aw, yeah
And it got to do with love
And I just want you to sit back and listen
While I sing this song to you
Check me, listen, ah-ha

[Verse 1]
It's like the hardest thing for me to say
Without crackin' a smile
It's something that we both really feel inside
But never talked about
They call it love
Oh, yes, they do
A dangerous thing when you're part of the game
So, girl, I feel you when you get emotional
And don't wanna let me go (Ha)
But it's somethin' I gotta tell ya

[Chorus]
Don't mean to cut you off but the question is
(So when you gon' be my girl?) When you gon' be my girl?
I wanna know (When it comes to lovin'), why?
(You change the subject) You should know
(Girl, you know that I'm the man) I'm the man you want, oh, yes, I am
Girl, what's really good with ya?
(So when you gon' be my girl?) When you gon' be my girl?
(All this playin' 'round is gettin' old now) All this playin' 'round is gettin' old now
(Baby, tell me where I stand) So, baby, tell me where I stand
[Verse 2]
I know
You prolly sayin' to yourself, "This brother trippin'"
But this stuff is real
But ain't too many fellas would have the nerve to step up
And tell that lady what's up to let her know he's really pressed (Uh)
Now gettin' straight to the bottom line
You're the type of kinda girl a gangsta needs by his side
So when you get emotional, I won't let you go
(When you cry, I won't let you go)
It's somethin' I gotta tell you

[Chorus]
Don't mean to cut you off but the question is
(So when you gon' be my girl?) When you gon' be my girl, girl?
I wanna know (When it comes to lovin'), you change the subject
(You change the subject) You should know
(Girl, you know that I'm the man) I'm the man you want, oh, yes, I am
So, girl, what's really good with ya?
(So when you gon' be my girl?)
All this playin' (All this playin' 'round is gettin' old now)
You know, so, yes
(Baby, tell me where I stand) Baby, where do I stand?
Tell me, girl
I don't mean to be rude, but I gotta know
(So when you gon' be my girl?) When you gon' be my girl?
I wanna know (When it comes to lovin'), why?
(You change the subject)
(Girl, you know that I'm the man) I am the man you need
So, baby, what's really good with ya?
(So when you gon' be my girl?)
(All this playin' 'round is gettin' old now)
(Baby, tell me where I stand)
