Hey there, you nasty boy, it's been a minute (minute)
And I could say my life has changed, since you hit it, (hit it)
This is your strongest trait, you work the middle (middle)
While they say I'm sprung, I'll say, maybe a little
They say you a baller, I hear you’re just a player
And all my friends tell me I should have never dated
But now I’m in love with you and I’ma have to tell ‘em
Quit hatin’ on him, don’t be jealous
Baby it's
(Your world, your world)
I’m into you boy, it can be
(Your world, your world)
Boy this don’t mean that I gotta be
(Your girl, your girl)
You won't have to take nothin' from
(My girls, don't worry ' bout my girls, baby)
They say you a baller, I hear you’re just a player
And all my friends tell me I should have never dated
But now I’m in love with you and I’ma have to tell ‘em
Quit hatin’ on him, don’t be jealous
(Woah, I never ever cut you off)
You're like a ride, I can't get off
(Woah, I feel like we can deal)
Just as long as you keep it real
(Oh, I know the story behind your name)
But I can charge it to the game
(Only hope you'll try to change)
You need to be careful baby
Hey, first I seen you in a Beemer, and then I saw the Lexus
I knew about the Benzes, with the 20-inch rims on ‘em
And a lot of ex-girlfriends, I bet they still callin'
Well I can’t say I blame ‘em, 'cause you have me sayin'
Oh, ohh, oh, ohh, oh
Oh, ohh, oh, oh, ohh, ohh, oh
Oh, ohh, oh
They say you a baller, I hear you’re just a player
And all my friends tell me I should have never dated
But now I’m in love with you and I’mma have to tell ‘em
Quit hatin’ on him, don’t be jealous
They say you a baller, I hear you’re just a player
And all my friends tell me I should have never dated
But now I’m in love with you and I’mma have to tell ‘em
Quit hatin’ on him, don’t be jealous
They say you a baller, I hear you’re just a player
And all my friends tell me I should have never dated
But now I’m in love with you and I’mma have to tell ‘em
Quit hatin’ on him, don’t be jealous
