Knock knock knock who's therewho's
Knock knock knock who's thereanybody
Knock knock knock who's therewho's
Who's therewho's therewho's therewho's there
[Chorus:]
If you're wondering while you're knocking
Why I ain't opening up
I'm loving your best friend
If you're wondering while you're knocking
Why I ain't opening up
I'm loving your best friend
If you wonder why I'm tripping
Started out when we stopped talking
Found myself in the corner off drinking
But the problem just won't go
I distract myself with music
But my ear drums just refused it
So I dig into my wallet
And I stare at your photo
When I think of all the time
Candlelight, dinner and wine
You're the rib that's in my spine
But you would not make no time
So your girlfriend came around
All those times that you left town
Made me feel just like a king
When she sat down on my crown
[Chorus]
Now it might seem kind of shady
And it shoots like a 380
Though I'm in another lady
I'm still thinking 'bout my baby
All the things we used to do, when I used to call you Boo
It felt like we were in grade school
But all those days are through
All those thoughts of going to the chapel
It's like someone just burned my castle
Paint the picture like Picasso
But the image fades
Now for some it might sound deep
But I just received a beep
So I called back anxiously
She put her lover on the line
If you're wondering when you're calling
Why I ain't calling you back
She said I'm loving a new man (she said to me)
If you're wondering when you're calling
Why I ain't calling you back
She said I'm lovin' a new man
(She said that she had someone new)
If you're wondering when you're calling why I ain't calling you back
I'm loving a new man
Oohh oohhbaby please (baby please)
You know this situation's buggin' me (buggin' me)
You got someone else but your girl's with me (girl's with me)
It's only so I can get by
[Chorus]
